This role requires a strong balance of sales acumen, client relationship management, and operational understanding. While the Pricing Team will negotiate and obtain freight rates directly from shipping lines, this role will focus on selling freight solutions to customers, ensuring competitive offerings, and coordinating the end-to-end shipment cycle.

● Deliver a complete logistics solution (freight + operational support).

● Resolve customer queries promptly and ensure service satisfaction.

● Drive customer retention by identifying repeat and cross-selling opportunities.

● Monitor payment status and coordinate with the Accounts department for timely collections.

Pricing Coordination

● Gather shipment requirements and prepare requests for the pricing department.

● Collaborate with the Pricing Department to secure competitive and timely freight quotations.

● Present rates and solutions to customers, ensuring transparency and clarity.

● Follow up on all quotations to convert into confirmed bookings.

Operations, CS & Documentation Coordination

● Liaise between customers and internal Operations, CS, and Documentation teams to ensure smooth execution of shipments.

● Track cargo movement (LCL/FCL, Airfreight) and update customers proactively.

● Work closely with overseas agents, carriers, and local partners to ensure timely booking confirmations and container arrangements.

● Support claims, rebates, or special approvals by liaising with customs and other agencies.

Accounts Coordination

● Coordinate precise billing details with Accounts & Finance for accurate and on-time invoicing.

● Coordinate with the Accounts department and follow up with clients on pending payments, ensuring smooth and timely recovery.

Qualifications & Skills

● Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree in logistics, supply chain, or international trade is a plus.

● 4 - 6 years of relevant experience in sales, pricing coordination, or business development within shipping, freight forwarding, or logistics.

● Strong knowledge of import/export operations (Sea & Air Freight).

● Excellent communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills.

● Proficiency in Google Workspace, MS Office, and ERP/CRM systems.

● Ability to multitask across sales, pricing coordination, and operational follow-ups.

● Proven track record of meeting sales targets and handling client relationships.
