The Operations team 🚢

Your missions as an Operations Intern at OVRSEA

As an Operations Intern, 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.

👉 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 are looking for a 6-month internship, with the option to transition to a full-time position afterward.
• You are interested in the transport industry and a startup environment. You are curious by nature.
• 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 have excellent communication skills.
• You are fluent in Spanish. Good English level is also appreciated.

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.
