5. KPI Reporting & Client Support: Maintain daily communication with clients' supply chain teams. Ensure the precise and timely update of overseas transit times, cargo damage reports, and invoice reconciliation dashboards.

Experience: 2-3 years of experience in Finished Vehicle Logistics (FVL), automotive parts logistics, ocean freight forwarding, or international multimodal transportation (Sea-Rail / Sea-Truck). Experience working within or with shipping lines/shipping agencies is highly preferred.
Core Skills:
- Prior exposure to RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) vessel operations, automotive carrier loading, or FCL container movements.

Competencies: Highly resilient, proactive, and detail-oriented. Proven ability to handle multi-tasking under cross-timezone environments and tight client schedules.
Language: Fluent/Professional proficiency in English (must be capable of managing independent business correspondence, dispute resolution, and phone conferences with overseas agents and carriers). Knowledge of Spanish or French is a major plus.
