Transportation Logistics Specialist

The role

We are looking for an experienced Transportation Logistics Specialist to manage the full scope of IT hardware logistics across the APAC region — including racks, servers, GPUs, and other data center equipment. The role focuses on air freight and road transport across APAC, with a primary emphasis on shipments originating from or transiting through Taiwan, and deliveries into key APAC markets including Singapore, India, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and additional destinations as the business expands.

You will be responsible for day-to-day execution of inbound and outbound shipments, RMA and RMS flows, cross-border customs coordination, and inter-facility transfers within the region. This is a hands-on, operationally focused role requiring deep knowledge of APAC freight markets, strong carrier and forwarder relationships, and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced, global environment.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with hardware engineering, procurement, finance, and data center operations to align APAC logistics execution with deployment timelines and business priorities.
• Collaborate with OEM suppliers based in Taiwan to coordinate international shipping windows, batch tracking, customs documentation, and inbound scheduling into APAC facilities.
• Act as the primary escalation point for transport-related issues across the APAC region.
• Work closely with the global transport team to ensure regional operations align with global standards, processes, and reporting requirements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives through KPI tracking, root cause analysis, and process standardisation.

• 5+ years of experience in transportation, freight, or logistics management, with a strong focus on international shipping within the APAC region.
• Deep, hands-on knowledge of APAC freight markets, air freight lanes, and road transport operations — particularly routes involving Taiwan, Singapore, India, South Korea, Japan, and Malaysia.
• Proven experience managing high-value, time-critical IT hardware shipments — server racks, GPUs, data center equipment, or similar cargo.
• Strong understanding of customs regulations, import/export procedures, and trade compliance across multiple APAC jurisdictions.
• Experience managing and negotiating with carriers, freight forwarders, and 3PL partners across the APAC region.
• Hands-on experience with RMA/RMS shipment processes and reverse logistics flows.
• Familiarity with TMS platforms, Jira, or similar systems used for shipment tracking and documentation.
• Excellent organisational and documentation skills with a high standard for accuracy and completeness.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to work cross-functionally across technical and non-technical teams in a global environment.
• Self-starter mindset with the ability to operate independently in a remote environment with minimal supervision.
• Based in the APAC region; Singapore, India, or South Korea preferred. Must be eligible to work in the country of residence.
• Fluency in English required; additional Asian languages (Mandarin, Korean, Hindi, or similar) are a strong advantage.

Nice to Have

• Experience in a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or large-scale data center build-out environment.
• Familiarity with ATA Carnet processes and temporary import/export mechanisms for repair and return shipments.
• Experience with Taiwan-origin shipments and familiarity with Taiwanese export procedures and OEM supplier logistics coordination.
• Background in supply chain analytics, reporting, or continuous improvement methodologies.
• Familiarity with physical security protocols for high-value hardware shipments.
• Experience supporting logistics operations across emerging APAC markets such as Indonesia, Vietnam, or Thailand.
