Help us digitalise international freight transportation!

Founded in 2017, Ovrsea is a new generation freight forwarder that uses technology to simplify and optimize international transportation for companies. We support more than 700 companies such as Engie, Vinci, Devialet, Sézane or even Nuxe in more than 60 countries in their international freight transport.

We allow our customers to manage all their transport issues in a few clicks from our web interface, from quotation to invoicing, by digitizing the entire transport tracking experience. We have also developed an in-house platform to facilitate the operational management of our customers’ transportation needs in order to meet their requirements in record time.

Ovrsea, a fast growing company…

With already 120 employees worldwide, we will continue our growth in 2026 as part of a merger with two other freight forwarders, forming a group of more than 800 people across four continents.

The Operations team 🚢

The Operations (Ops) Team is responsible for organising and coordinating the international transportation needs of our clients. Serving as the primary point of contact, the Ops team acts as a bridge between our customers and our carefully chosen service providers. The team plays a crucial role in ensuring an exceptional customer experience at OVRSEA. Reactivity, excellence, pedagogy, and customer awareness are the guiding principles that drive our team.

This position is based in Milano.

What does it mean to be an Operations Specialist at Ovrsea?

Our Ops Specialists directly update our clients on the evolution of their transport, inform them on the important stages, guide them amidst constraints and hazards and find the best possible solutions when required.

They are the principal conductors of international transports. Ops Specialists coordinate our chosen service providers (agents, shipping and trucking carriers, customs brokers...). Responsible for delivering our quality of service, they are key pillars of the company and drive its growth.

Your mission:

Global transport operations for large imports of exports (80%)

• Support a portfolio of customers.
• Carry-out and organize air, sea, road and rail transport.
• Advise customers and resolve issues proactively.

Development, structuring and strategy (20%)

• 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 demonstrate an interest in the transportation industry. A former experience with a forwarding agent is a plus.
• You can handle complex situations: Operations days in freight are exciting but could be intense. Lots of issues and requests from clients at the same time, and non-stop deadlines… but we love it!
• You are recognized for your customer centricity. You are curious by nature, and are never satisfied with the answer “we’ve always done it this way”. You think solutions rather than problems, and you are able to take initiative.
• You have a strong interest in the startup environment, and you want to commit to an exciting entrepreneurial adventure.
• You are fluent in both English and Italian.

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.
