Tired of handling the same old trade lanes and cargo types?
Want to expand your skill set and become a true all-rounder in operations?
You could be joining a rapidly-growing German forwarder where you'll handle seafreight operations from A to Z, not just one narrow slice of the business.
Based in Hamburg's vibrant Hammerbrook district, you'll be working on unique trade lanes that most forwarders can't touch.
Why This Role is Different
Coming from a smaller operation? Perfect. You'll use that hands-on experience to dive into everything from pricing and invoicing to customer care and documentation.
You'll be working on trade lanes that will genuinely expand your knowledge - Europe-to-Africa, Asia-to-Africa, and Western Europe to Eastern Europe short sea routes. Plus opportunities to learn dangerous goods, reefer cargo, and project cargo.
This rapidly-growing German forwarder has built something special through their background in aid-and-relief logistics. They have relationships with governments and NGOs that other forwarders simply don't have access to.
Now they're leveraging these connections to expand into defence logistics, including support for Ukraine. In times of economic uncertainty, this is one of the few sectors where budgets are actually increasing in Germany.
What's In It For You?
* Above-market salary up to €60,000 based on your experience
* No German fluency required - much of the business is conducted in English
* Learn unique trade lanes most people never touch
* True A-Z operations experience, not just one piece of the puzzle
* Stable sector in unstable times
* Modern office in Hamburg's Hammerbrook district
The Perfect Fit
You're probably coming from a small-to-medium sized forwarder where you've had to wear multiple hats. That's exactly what makes you perfect for this role.
If you want to take your seafreight operations knowledge to the next level while working on cargo movements that genuinely make a difference to the world, this could be the move you've been looking for.
