As we scale across Southeast Asia and beyond, Cogoport’s mission is to transform the way global trade operates — by making it faster, more cost-effective, and radically transparent. Our Customer Service function is the nerve center that ensures promises are kept, trust is built, and delight is delivered.

This is your opportunity to lead the charge in building one of the most customer-obsessed freight platforms in the world.

• Implement Lean, Six Sigma, and automation best practices to remove inefficiencies and scale effortlessly.
• Drive cross-functional initiatives with Product, Ops, Tech, and Sales to ensure end-to-end customer satisfaction.
• Create structured escalation management and issue resolution frameworks with internal and external stakeholders.
• Monitor VOC (Voice of Customer) insights and use them to refine playbooks, process flows, and journey maps.
• Represent Customer Success in leadership meetings and proactively drive product/process improvements based on service feedback.

Success Metrics

• At least 3 years in logistics, freight forwarding, or international supply chain experience (preferred)
• Deep knowledge of CX design, service operations, and contact center management
• Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification preferred; strong track record of process optimization
• Visionary yet execution-driven — someone who can scale from 0 to 1, then 1 to 100
• Strong communicator, people leader, and cross-functional collaborator
• Empathy-first mindset paired with data-driven decision-making

What We Offer

• A leadership seat to design and scale customer service across Southeast Asia
• Access to digital customer experience tooling and automation infrastructure
