Descripción del empleo

Our mission: to make international freight simpler and more sustainable through technology!

Founded in 2017, OVRSEA is a next-generation freight forwarder that uses technology to simplify and optimize international transport for businesses. We support 700+ companies across 60 countries in their international freight shipments.

In January 2026, OVRSEA merged with the Fatton Lyseo group. This large-scale operation comes amid profound geopolitical, commercial, and technological shifts. Our ambition is clear: to build, through organic and external growth, a unified, agile, and sustainable French leader in logistics, capable of addressing new challenges in logistics control, operational performance, and technological disruption.

This merger brings together, under a single group, cutting-edge tech expertise, well-established historical know-how, and a dense network of locations across strategic geographies - with over 1,000 employees, 61 offices in 14 countries, and 120,000 m² of warehouse space - serving demanding clients in the luxury, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and food industries. Joining our teams means taking part in building an independent, high-performing, and innovative group.

The Operations team

The Operations (Ops) Team is responsible for organizing and coordinating the international transportation needs of our clients. Serving as the primary point of contact, the Ops team acts as a bridge between our customers and our carefully chosen service providers. The team plays a crucial role in ensuring an exceptional customer experience at OVRSEA. Reactivity, excellence, pedagogy, and customer awareness are the guiding principles that drive our team.

Your missions as an Operations Intern at OVRSEA

As an Operations Intern, you will be the primary coordinator of international transport, managing our service providers, including agents, shipping and trucking carriers, and customs brokers. You will keep clients informed about their shipment progress, update them on key stages, guide them through challenges, and provide the best possible solutions when necessary.

Committed to delivering high-quality service, prompt responsiveness, and reliability, you will drive OVRSEA's growth with the following responsibilities:

Global transport operations for large imports or exports (70%)

• Support a portfolio of customers
• Carry-out and organize air, sea, road and rail transport
• Advise customers and resolve issues proactively

Customer success management (20%)

• Being the main point of contact with existing clients
• Finding upsell opportunities
• Increase client platform usage

Development and structuring (10%)

• Manage supplier relationships and negotiations (carriers & agents worldwide)
• Develop the team’s knowledge (research and production of articles)
• Refine operational strategies

We're meant to work together if

• You are looking for a 6-month internship, with the option to transition to a full-time position afterward
• You are interested in the transport industry and a startup environment. You are curious by nature
• You can handle challenging situations: Ops days in transportation are exciting but intense. Lots of issues and requests at the same time, and non-stop deadlines. You think solutions rather than problems, and you are able to take initiative
• You have excellent communication skills
• You are fluent in Spanish. Good English level is also appreciated

What will this job bring you

• Relational skills: you will interact with people from more than 70+ countries (customers, service providers), from various industries and company sizes

• We have a team with different backgrounds: some experienced in the world of transport and others who have never done it before. This balance guarantees a dynamic and close-knit atmosphere in the face of an intense day-to-day

Benefits

• A 4-week onboarding program to become fully operational in your daily job
• Paid internship
• Commuter benefits (25€/month)
