• Analyze performance metrics and implement improvements to drive operational excellence for the CTO or 3PL
• Liaise with airline personnel, ground handling teams, and freight forwarders to ensure timely and efficient movement of cargo.

At the onset, you may be culture-shocked working in AirAsia and with the Teleport team. To help you adapt better, we would like to share our beliefs on leadership. Put simply, you are a leader, we all are leaders and good leaders:

• Roll up their sleeves as needed, and never delegate work that one would not be willing to do themselves
• Do what is needed to get things done, as they believe speed is more important than anything else to effect change
• Over communicate, particularly as they are all quite autonomous
• Take care of our staff, and treat them as they would want to be treated
• Are rigid on goals, but flexible on the details

These are minimum-requirement skills and a ‘must-have’ for the role:

• Strong communication skills
• Strong interpersonal skills - ability to speak English fluently
• Able to operate computer programs such as Microsoft office
• Working experience with standard data-entry software
• Meticulous with work - double checking for accuracy of data entry

At Teleport, we’re all about creating a diverse and inclusive team where everyone feels valued. We believe that different perspectives make us stronger and help us do logistics better across Southeast Asia. We welcome people from all walks of life and celebrate what makes each of us unique. If you’re passionate about making a difference, we’d love to hear from you!
