The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of hands-on ocean freight experience within a freight forwarder, NVOCC or carrier, with strong existing relationships across India–UAE ocean freight. They must have personally sourced and negotiated FCL rates and understand the detail behind contract and spot pricing, carrier behaviour, surcharges, capacity and transit times.

This is not a traditional corporate logistics leadership role. My client needs someone who has personally run a freight desk, branch or small operation and can independently assess whether a rate is commercially competitive, whether a surcharge is correct and whether an automated quote reflects the real market.

You will own the rate supply strategy, build and manage relationships with regional carriers and NVOCCs, lead the rate and operations desk, and act as the senior escalation point for operational issues. You will also work closely with Product, Engineering and AI teams, helping translate real-world freight expertise into the platform's quoting and booking engine.

• The ideal candidate will bring:7+ years of hands-on ocean freight operations
