About the Role

We are growing our Cebu freight forwarding desk and are looking for a Sales & Quotations specialist with a secondary focus in freight exception coordination. This is a commercially driven, client-facing role where you will own the full cycle from initial freight enquiry through to quotation, booking confirmation, and active exception management when shipments require intervention.

You will work onsite at our Cebu hub alongside our in-house IT engineering team, who will personally train and support you in applying Claude — our primary AI assistant — and Connectivity, our integrated AI workflow platform, to accelerate your output and sharpen every client interaction.

What You Will Do
  • Respond to inbound freight enquiries from clients across sea, air, and road modes — qualifying requirements, preparing competitive rate quotations, and converting opportunities into confirmed bookings
  • Build and maintain a proactive sales pipeline by following up on quotes, identifying upsell opportunities, and developing long-term relationships with shippers, importers, and logistics managers
  • Use Claude to draft, refine, and personalise quotation documents, sales proposals, and client correspondence — faster and more professionally than any traditional approach
  • Leverage Connectivity to manage multi-carrier rate comparison, automate quote generation workflows, and keep clients informed through the entire shipment lifecycle
  • Monitor active shipments for exceptions — delays, customs holds, carrier failures, misroutes — and coordinate rapid resolution directly with carriers and partners before clients are impacted
  • Maintain accurate records in our CRM and TMS, using Claude to summarise interactions and generate follow-up actions automatically
  • Collaborate with operations and account management teams to ensure seamless handover from sale to execution
What We Are Looking For
  • 2+ years in freight forwarding, logistics sales, or freight operations — with direct exposure to quotation processes for sea, air, or land freight
  • A commercially minded communicator who can build rapport quickly and close with confidence
  • Strong English written and verbal skills; professional client-facing presentation at all times
  • Familiarity with freight rate structures, Incoterms, and basic customs documentation requirements
  • Experience with CargoWise, Expedient, or similar freight management systems is a strong advantage
  • No prior AI experience required — if you bring the freight knowledge, our engineers will equip you with Claude and Connectivity from Day 1

Your AI Advantage: Claude & Connectivity, Supported by Our In-House IT Team

We do not hand you a tool and a user manual. Our in-house IT engineering team sits on the same floor and works directly with you to build your capability with the AI tools that are already transforming how freight is quoted and managed:

  • Dedicated onboarding sessions with engineers covering Claude for freight writing, client communication, and quotation drafting — tailored to your specific lanes and client types
  • Hands-on Connectivity training: automated rate retrieval, quote-to-booking workflows, shipment tracking integrations, and exception alert configuration
  • Ongoing access to an IT engineer assigned to your team — not a helpdesk ticket, a real person who understands your workflow
  • Weekly improvement sessions where you and the engineering team refine how Claude and Connectivity serve your sales desk
  • Regular workshops on new AI capabilities as they are released, delivered by the engineers who deploy them
Compensation & Benefits
  • HMO coverage (with 1 dependent)
  • 10 days paid leave + 5 sick leave days annually
  • Structured 90-day onboarding with a dedicated IT engineering mentor
  • Clear progression path to Senior Sales Executive or Freight Operations Team Lead within 18 months

Work Arrangement

This is a full-time, onsite role at our Cebu operations centre. The depth of commercial and AI capability you will develop here is built on face-to-face collaboration — between you, your sales team, and the engineers who build the tools you use every day.

Our facility is modern, well-equipped, and designed for high-performance freight work.
