Job description

Fulfillment & Logistics Operations Execution includes roles that manage and execute inventory, warehouse and fulfillment activities (planning and execution, distribution is covered by carrier management). Includes all kinds of warehouses like CFS, CY, inland depot / warehouses, bonded warehouses, etc., whether owned, operated or both by Maersk.

Professional stream includes individuals who are individual contributors with main emphasis on applying technical/discipline knowledge rather than managing people to achieve results – although coaching/mentoring less experienced staff, informal supervisory responsibilities, or overseeing the work of other lower level professionals or managing processes and programs are common. Individual work ranges from setting objectives and delivering on own work responsibilities to being a leading expert within a given field and influencing long‑term tactical decisions of the organization. Progression within this stream reflects increasing depth of professional knowledge, project management capability, and the ability to influence others. A colleague at this level works independently within defined boundaries and guidelines in a specific area but will need supervision and support on more complex tasks. Knowledge is required for the application of practical methods and techniques, work procedures and processes. Solutioning is through a choice between known alternatives, within the area of expertise, and the leader will evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of the solution.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate OOG import and export shipments.
• Issue delivery orders to trucking carriers and warehouses.
• Ensure cargo is delivered on time and keep customers informed of any changes or delays.

• Communicate with vendors, customers, and internal stakeholders.
• Obtain and negotiate quotes from vendors.

Qualifications

• Education: High School Diploma or GED (required); Bachelors Degree (preferred, but not required).
• Experience: 5+ years of operations experience in project freight forwarding.
• Experience with breakbulk, RORO, and OOG flat rack shipments.
• Experience with CargoWise is required.
• Skills needed: Comfortable with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook; ability to import/export documentation.
• Excellent customer service skills.
• Leadership qualities.
• Independent worker and adaptable to changes.
• Solid understanding of logistics cost management.
• Vendor management skills.
• Skill in quoting logistics shipments.
