Job description

Overview

The position requires a strategic, hands-on professional to lead procurement and vendor management for all transport operations — including cross-border trucking (Malaysia–Singapore) and domestic secondary distribution in Malaysia and Singapore. This role is responsible for sourcing, contracting, and managing a panel of transport service providers to ensure optimal service, cost, and scalability. Act as the commercial and operational owner of our subcontracted fleet and logistics partners, playing a key role in both operational execution and long-term cost control.

Key responsibilities

Transport Procurement

  • Lead the end-to-end procurement of road transport services (FTL, LTL, bonded, ambient).
  • Run structured RFQs, tenders, and spot rate benchmarking across Johor, Klang, and Singapore.
  • Define rate cards, cost structures (e.g., per trip, per m³, fuel surcharges), and service tiers.
  • Develop and maintain transporter contracts with clear SLAs, penalty / reward mechanisms, and safety compliance.
  • Onboard and evaluate licensed hauliers, customs brokers, and warehouse operators.
  • Maintain a qualified and scalable panel of vendors for both cross-border and local distribution.
  • Build relationships with key partners to secure peak-day capacity.

Compliance & Risk

  • Ensure all transport partners meet legal, customs, and safety standards (licenses, insurance, driver permits, etc.).
  • Monitor subcontractor activities at border points and CIQs to pre-empt issues.
  • Work closely with Customs / Operations teams to align on HS codes, permit accuracy, and documentation readiness.
  • Ensure the transporters comply with the Linfox sub-con handbook requirement.
  • Cost & Performance Analytics

  • Track and report transport spending against budget and volume.
  • Recommend cost optimization strategies (route consolidation, load planning, mode shift).
  • Support Finance with vendor invoice validation and discrepancy resolution.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with operations planners, customs coordinators, customer service, and sales to ensure service alignment.
  • Act as escalation point for vendor performance issues or operational exceptions.
  • Qualifications & Experiences

  • 5+ years of experience in transport procurement, logistics vendor management, or supply chain operations.
  • Strong knowledge of cross-border logistics in the Malaysia–Singapore corridor preferred.
  • Familiar with rate structures : FTL, LTL, CIQ clearance, fuel surcharges, peak / off-peak pricing.
  • Experience with customs-related logistics or bonded trucking is a plus.
  • Proficient in Excel, TMS (Transport Management Systems), and tender platforms.
  • Strong negotiation, communication, and relationship management skills.
  • If you are interested in this opportunity, please apply via this LinkedIn post.
