The Operations team
The Operations (Ops) Team is responsible for organizing and coordinating the international transportation needs of our clients. Serving as the primary point of contact, the Ops team acts as a bridge between our customers and our carefully chosen service providers. The team plays a crucial role in ensuring an exceptional customer experience at OVRSEA. Reactivity, excellence, pedagogy, and customer awareness are the guiding principles that drive our team.
Your missions as an Operations Specialist at OVRSEA
As an Operations Specialist, you will be the primary coordinator of international transport, managing our service providers, including agents, shipping and trucking carriers, and customs brokers. You will keep clients informed about their shipment progress, update them on key stages, guide them through challenges, and provide the best possible solutions when necessary.
Committed to delivering high-quality service, prompt responsiveness, and reliability, you will drive OVRSEA's growth with the following responsibilities:
Global transport operations for large imports or exports (70%)
- Support a portfolio of customers.
- Carry-out and organize air, sea, road and rail transport.
- Advise customers and resolve issues proactively.
Customer success management (20%)
- Being the main point of contact with existing clients.
- Finding upsell opportunities.
- Increase client platform usage.
Development and structuring (10%)
- Manage supplier relationships and negotiations (carriers & agents worldwide).
- Develop the team’s knowledge (research and production of articles).
- Refine operational strategies.
Are you the one?
- You have a strong interest in the transport industry. You are curious by nature, and are never satisfied with the answer “we’ve always done it this way”. Experience with a forwarding agent is a plus, but not essential.
- You can handle challenging situations: Ops days in transportation are exciting but intense. Lots of issues and requests at the same time, and non-stop deadlines. You think solutions rather than problems, and you are able to take initiative.
- You love the client’s relationship and you have excellent communication skills, along with the ability to manage customer relations with diplomacy, assertiveness, and negotiation skills.
- You are interested in the startup environment, and you want to commit to an exciting entrepreneurial adventure.
-
You are fluent in both Spanish and English, speaking Italian or French is a plus.
What will this job bring you?
-
Relational skills: you will interact with people from more than 70+ countries (customers, service providers), from various industries and company sizes. - We value a strong learning environment at OVRSEA. Continuous learning is very important to us, which will allow you to solve rather complicated problems.
- We have a team with different backgrounds: some experienced in the world of transport and others who have never done it before. This balance guarantees a dynamic and close-knit atmosphere in the face of an intense day-to-day.
