- Negotiate rates with carriers and airlines and prepare customer quotations
- Act as the primary liaison between customers, carriers, and service providers
- Manage both outgoing and incoming freight, with a primary emphasis on outbound
- Ensure compliance with export regulations and documentation requirements
Who You Are
- A strong communicator who can coordinate effectively across customers, carriers, and internal teams
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple shipments simultaneously
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
- Proactive, solution-oriented, and able to navigate logistical challenges independently
- Thrives in an in-office, team-based environment
What You’ll Bring
- 3–5+ years of experience in freight forwarding or export coordination (ocean and/or air)
- Working knowledge of export documentation and processes (e.g., CERS, shipping instructions, AWB)
- Experience handling FCL/LCL and/or air export shipments
- Experience negotiating rates with carriers and/or airlines
- Familiarity with origin-side operations (quotations, bookings, inland cartage/drayage)
- Dangerous Goods (DG) knowledge or certification is considered an asset
- Air or Ocean certification is considered an asset
- Strong attention to detail and compliance mindset
