What You’ll Do:
  • Source, negotiate, and manage competitive FCL/LCL ocean freight rates, contracts, surcharges, and carrier agreements. 
  • Secure vessel space allocations and coordinate container equipment availability across key export trade lanes. 
  • Provide timely quotes, spot rates, and pricing guidance to sales and internal stakeholders. 
  • Support RFQs/RFPs by collecting carrier bids and recommending cost-effective, service-driven solutions. 
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with steamship lines, NVOCCs, and co-load partners. 
  • Monitor market trends including GRIs, PSS, blank sailings, congestion, and capacity changes, communicating impacts internally. 
  • Partner with operations teams to ensure routing meets customer expectations for cost, transit time, and reliability. 
  • Resolve carrier issues such as rolled bookings, billing discrepancies, free time disputes, and service failures. 
  • Maintain internal rate sheets, tariffs, and pricing systems to ensure data accuracy and compliance. 
  • Identify margin improvement opportunities, cost-saving alternatives, and procurement process enhancements.

What We Are Looking For:
  • 2–5+ years of experience in ocean freight procurement, ocean export pricing, carrier management, or freight forwarding operations. 
  • Experience working for a freight forwarder, NVOCC, shipping line, or logistics provider.
  • Strong knowledge of ocean freight rate structures, surcharges, accessorials, and Incoterms. 
  • Existing relationships with ocean carriers or co-load partners highly preferred. 
  • Intermediate to advanced Microsoft Excel skills. 
  • Experience with TMS, freight rate management systems, or logistics platforms. 
  • Strong negotiation, communication, and analytical skills. 
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven logistics environment.
