The Opportunity
We're looking for a Senior Ocean Planning Associate based in our Bangkok office, to take ownership of space planning, carrier booking, and allocation management for Flexport's Thailand export gateway focusing on the TPEB (Transpacific Eastbound) tradelane. You'll be at the center of coordination between our internal teams, carrier partners, and clients to ensure every container sails as planned.
This role is ideal for someone who's built strong relationships with carrier offices or has hands-on experience in carrier customer service. You'll combine operational excellence, market understanding, and a data-driven mindset to help us scale Flexport's ocean freight network efficiently.

Maintain accurate space visibility across Flexport systems (e.g., FFA, Fulfillment Management Tool - FMT) and sailing schedules.
Drive optimal space utilization while ensuring compliance with carrier allocation rules and performance metrics.
Carrier Performance & Exception Handling
Serve as the first point of escalation for booking exceptions, space shortfalls, and service disruptions.
Leverage your relationships with carrier local offices to resolve issues quickly — SO pushes, equipment release, or rollover prevention.
Monitor carrier KPIs (on-time performance, equipment availability, service quality) and flag trends to Procurement and Operations Excellence teams.
