Based in Singapore, you will take ownership of operational performance and customer experience across our Air & Ocean business, working closely with senior customer stakeholders and CEVA teams throughout Asia Pacific, Europe and North America.

This is a highly visible, customer‑facing role requiring strong international freight forwarding expertise, commercial awareness and the ability to influence operational performance across a complex global network. You will play a key role in strengthening customer relationships, driving service excellence and supporting the long‑term retention and growth of the account.

• Monitor global service performance against agreed KPIs and SLAs, identifying performance gaps and coordinating root‑cause analysis and corrective actions with regional and country teams.
• Lead global monthly and quarterly business reviews (MBRs/QBRs), providing meaningful performance insights, improvement plans and recommendations to senior customer stakeholders.
• Partner with Global Key Account Management, Business Development, Product and Operations teams to support account strategies, customer retention and business growth.
• Establish, maintain and improve customer Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), ensuring consistent application of agreed processes and service standards across the global network.
• Coordinate the operational implementation and onboarding of new business, trade lanes and service requirements, working closely with regional implementation and operations teams.

• Extensive experience in international freight forwarding or logistics, with strong operational knowledge of both Air and Ocean products, supported by a bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification.
• Demonstrated experience managing complex strategic customer accounts at regional or global level, including senior stakeholder engagement, operational governance and service recovery.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving capability, with experience managing service KPIs, SLAs, root‑cause analysis, business reviews and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Excellent communication, influencing and relationship management skills, with the ability to lead cross‑functional teams and drive outcomes within a global matrix organisation.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and presentation skills, with exposure to business intelligence tools such as Power BI or Tableau highly regarded.

Experience supporting global technology, semiconductor or other complex multinational supply chains would be advantageous.

The successful candidate will require flexibility to engage with stakeholders across global time zones, including occasional meetings outside standard Singapore business hours.
