Sea Logistics Operational Care Specialist, Export
**It's more than a job**
As a member of the Freight Forwarding team Kuehne+Nagel, you will play a key role in transporting goods, optimising processes, and fulfilling our customers' promises. And by transporting medicines, toys and important machine parts, you are not only delivering goods, you are making small and big moments possible for people all around the world. At Kuehne+Nagel, our contribution counts in more ways than we imagine.
Somewhere right now, a customer's cargo is waiting to leave port. A cut-off is closing, a booking has just changed, and a shipping instruction doesn't quite match the paperwork. Behind every smooth departure is someone who spotted that detail, picked up the phone, and fixed it before it became a problem.
**Your Day in the Operational Care Team**
You'll join a close-knit Operational Care team that looks after exports from the first booking to the moment the vessel sails, and beyond. You are the person customers, carriers and colleagues turn to when they need things done right and on time.
Here's what a typical day looks like:
You start the story.
You create export shipments in our systems with care, because accurate data at the start saves everyone trouble later.
You check the plot.
You review shipping instructions against compliance, routing and rate requirements, and catch what doesn't add up.
You keep it moving.
You coordinate with carriers, partners and internal teams to make sure transport runs as planned.
You get the paperwork right.
Bills of lading, VGM filings and invoices go out within the required timelines.




You follow the journey.
You track shipments, tell customers when they've departed, and deal with any deviation calmly and quickly.
You bring it together.
You manage consolidation shipments (master files) and see them through to the end.
You keep the books honest.
You update costs and revenue on time and verify invoices.
You solve the twists.
When discrepancies, claims or disputes come up, you resolve them quickly and fairly.
You make the next chapter better.
You watch how carriers and vendors perform and help us improve how we work.
You'll deliver excellent service, stay compliant, keep costs under control and get the details right.
