We are looking for an experienced logistics professional to lead cost management and end-to-end solution design for cross-border logistics projects across Europe.
The role focuses on standard logistics cost management and customized solutions for non-standard shipments—including dangerous goods and break-bulk cargo—covering first-mile transportation, consolidation, customs clearance, and destination distribution.
Key Responsibilities

- Manage the collection, validation, communication, and regular updating of logistics costs across Europe, ensuring that all cost information is accurate, complete, and delivered on time.
- Continuously assess cost reasonableness and market price levels, while monitoring quotations, project costs, and gross margin performance.
- Analyze costs across transportation, warehousing, customs clearance, and delivery based on market trends, historical data, and project experience.
- Identify cost anomalies, operational inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities.
- Regularly evaluate logistics service providers based on capacity, resource coverage, pricing competitiveness, and service performance.
- Recommend improvements to the service provider pool and drive ongoing cost optimization.
- Collaborate with LBP, Procurement, Operations, Sales, and Finance teams to support project quotations, solution implementation, and business decisions.
