A DAY IN A LIFE

At Teleport, we're building toward IPO - and that means doing the boring things well. Execution, discipline, and follow-through matter as much as big ideas.

Your day will be varied, often crossing functions, but most of your time will focus on delivering results, owning your scope end-to-end, making fast, data-informed decisions, and following through on fundamentals like reporting, documentation, and processes.

How we work matters as much as what we achieve. Doing the basics right, every time, sets us up for success.

Most of your time will be spent driving impact through:

• Drive Cargo & Freighter Sales Execution: Lead the end-to-end sales process for our four core freighter routes (HKG-KUL, HKG-Australia, HKG-BAH + Middle East trucking, HKG-Europe via Middle East). This includes proactively securing volume commitments from freight forwarders, consolidators, direct shippers, and e-commerce logistics providers, developing pricing strategies to maximize load factor and revenue, and managing post-sales account relationships.
• Manage Agency Channels & Business Development: Establish, manage, and expand a portfolio of agency partners (BSA and block space agreement partners) across Hong Kong's fragmented forwarding market. Lead high-level negotiations to secure competitive, long-term agreements, collaborate with partners to optimize cargo mix, ensure consistent volume commitments, and provide strategic guidance to junior team members on complex deals.
• Drive Market Intelligence & Strategic Insights: Conduct in-depth analysis of Hong Kong's air cargo market dynamics, including competitor pricing, capacity shifts, and regulatory changes affecting key trade lanes. Translate these insights into actionable sales strategies and capacity allocation recommendations, proactively sharing intelligence with the wider commercial team to inform decision-making.
• Lead Cross-Functional Collaboration & Process Optimization: Act as the primary escalation point for Hong Kong market sales and operational issues, collaborating with Legal, Finance, Operations, and Revenue Management to drive solutions. Coordinate with ground operations to ensure smooth cargo acceptance and trucking connectivity (especially for the Bahrain-Middle East route), and participate in optimizing bidding processes, contract templates, and performance tracking mechanisms.

REQUIREMENTS

These are minimum-requirement skills and a 'must-have' for the role:

• Hong Kong Market Expertise: Deep, proven knowledge of the Hong Kong air cargo market with an established network of relationships with major freight forwarders, consolidators, and logistics providers. Candidates without this specific Hong Kong market experience will not be considered.
• Sales & Negotiation Excellence: Minimum 5-7 years of progressive experience in air cargo sales, business development, or agency/channel management, with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets. Must have demonstrable experience in selling freighter capacity, securing BSA/block space agreements, and managing complex contract negotiations.
• Commercial Acumen & Leadership: Strong analytical skills to interpret market data and trends, formulate effective sales strategies, and optimize capacity utilization. A strategic mindset combined with a hands‑on execution approach, advanced communication and influencing skills, and fluency in Cantonese and English (written and spoken) are mandatory.
• Dual-Location Base (Hong Kong & Shenzhen): This role is based across Hong Kong (primary base) and Shenzhen, with regular, planned presence required in both cities as the market calls for it. Cargo sales in this corridor is a relationship business worked at the forwarder's counter, the agency office, and the client's side, and the partners we serve trust the person they see.

At Teleport, we're all about creating a diverse and inclusive team where everyone feels valued. We believe that different perspectives make us stronger and help us do logistics better across Southeast Asia. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate what makes each of us unique. If you're passionate about making a difference, we'd love to hear from you!
