About Our Client

This opportunity is with a large organization in the Transport & Distribution industry, known for its robust network and focus on providing efficient and reliable services. The company is committed to delivering innovative solutions and fostering growth in the logistics sector.

Job Description

Own the ocean product's financials: steer revenue, gross margin, cost discipline, and productivity to meet country targets; use dashboards and forecasts to spot gaps and course‑correct early.
Shape the carrier strategy: design and execute sourcing and allocation plans, negotiate with core lines to secure space and service levels, and ensure contracts are put to work, not just filed.
Set the pricing playbook: govern spot and tender pricing, raise win‑rates without diluting yield, and ensure proposals can be operationalized at agreed cost and service.
Be the escalation anchor: step in on complex bids, strategic customers, and cross‑trade solutions to remove blockers and land executable commitments.
Uplift operations and compliance: hard‑wire SOP adherence, data accuracy, and service reliability across export, import, and cross‑trade; keep the product audit‑ready and risk‑aware.
Continuously improve: streamline processes, upgrade tools, and tighten handoffs between sales, pricing, ops, customer service, and finance to lift speed and quality.
Build a high‑performing team: clarify roles and goals, coach for outcomes, plan succession, and cultivate a collaborative, accountable culture across procurement, pricing, trade, and ops.
Lead in the matrix: represent the country with regional/global ocean leadership, feed local market intelligence into product roadmaps, and deploy global standards locally.
