I’m in the process of scaling a new import-export venture that will target North American markets, and I want a hands-on operational partner to run the day-to-day mechanics while I concentrate on strategy and client acquisition. You’ll take ownership of everything that keeps shipments moving smoothly—sourcing freight forwarders, negotiating with customs brokers, preparing documentation, tracking containers, and troubleshooting any logistical surprises that pop up. You should already understand INCOTERMS, U.S. and Canadian customs procedures, and the practical side of coordinating sea, air, and land freight. If you have an existing network of carriers or warehouse contacts, even better; otherwise, you’ll be expected to build relationships quickly. Our immediate goals are: • Map and cost-out the full logistics chain for our first two trade lanes into North America • Set up a compliant documentation workflow (commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, HS codes) • Establish KPIs for transit time, landed cost, and on-time delivery, and present weekly reports I’ll supply supplier contacts, contracts, and product specs as soon as we agree on collaboration terms. Let me know about your past shipments, the freight management tools you prefer (CargoWise, Descartes, Flexport, etc.), and how you would organize our first pilot container.
