Role Purpose

Support the Control Tower for global customers, ensuring reliable day-to-day airfreight execution, strong operational performance, and a consistent customer experience. The role is responsible for shipment monitoring, milestone management, operational coordination, KPI adherence, proactive exception management, and timely communication with internal teams and customer stakeholders.

We offer

At Maersk, we are transforming logistics to deliver seamless, reliable, and customer-centric supply chains.

As an Air Operations Agent - Control Tower, you will play an important role in supporting the daily execution of airfreight operations for key customers. Working within a centralized Control Tower environment, you will help ensure shipments are proactively monitored, operational exceptions are managed, milestones are completed accurately and on time, and customers receive consistent and timely updates.

You will work closely with internal operational teams and customer stakeholders to support reliable execution, identify potential risks, and help drive continuous improvement in service performance.

Key responsibilities

As an Air Operations Agent - Control Tower, you will:

  • Manage and monitor assigned airfreight shipments from origin through delivery, ensuring operational requirements and customer expectations are met.
  • Coordinate daily shipment execution with origin and destination teams, gateways, carriers, warehouses, trucking providers, and other operational stakeholders.
  • Monitor shipment milestones and ensure required updates are completed accurately and within established timelines.
  • Proactively identify shipment delays, service risks, missing milestones, or other operational exceptions and coordinate appropriate follow-up.
  • Provide timely and accurate shipment updates to customers and internal stakeholders.
  • Escalate operational issues when necessary and support timely resolution of shipment exceptions.
  • Ensure adherence to IOPs, SOPs, customer-specific requirements, and global operational standards.
  • Monitor operational KPIs and support actions to address performance gaps.
  • Assist with root-cause analysis of recurring operational issues and support implementation of corrective and preventive actions.
  • Maintain accurate shipment and operational data within relevant systems.
  • Coordinate with Control Tower and operational teams to ensure clear ownership and follow-up of open actions.
  • Support reporting and performance reviews by providing accurate operational information and insights.
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, shipment visibility, data quality, and overall operational reliability.
  • Maintain a strong focus on customer experience through proactive communication, ownership, and effective problem solving.

You are a structured and customer-focused operations professional who is comfortable working in a fast-paced airfreight environment. You take ownership of your responsibilities, communicate proactively, and work effectively across multiple teams to ensure shipments are executed according to customer and operational requirements.

You are comfortable managing priorities, identifying potential issues before they become larger problems, and following actions through to resolution.

Furthermore, you:

  • Have experience within airfreight, logistics, freight forwarding, supply chain, or customer operations.
  • Have a good understanding of air import and/or export operational processes.
  • Have experience coordinating shipments across multiple operational teams and service providers.
  • Demonstrate strong ownership and attention to detail.
