• Continuously identify manual workflows that can be automated or simplified
• Leverage AI tools and modern operational software to improve efficiency and reduce friction

• Familiarity with China-US freight operations and freight forwarder management
• Strong ownership mentality and ability to independently manage processes remotely

• Excellent organizational skills with strong attention to detail
• Proficient in spreadsheets and inventory management tools
