At Teleport, we are looking for fast-readers and do-ers with a strong attention to detail. We transport cargo every day to over >100 stations across Asia on behalf of our customers, and coordinate with many Cargo Terminal Operators (CTOs). We rely heavily on CTOs and ground handlers to ensure we can maximize our ability to sell and transport cargo. To ensure the reliability of CTOs and ground handlers, we maintain strong communication with Team Leaders who will be overseeing the air operations team on a daily basis. They will be the main people advising the management on on-the-ground feedback from the customers and the operations teams. Their input is critical to ensure we consistently improve the quality and standard of service.
The responsibility of this role is to provide on-ground operational support, identify and resolve issues impacting cargo movements across the Teleport airfreight network, particularly in third-party handled stations. This role ensures the continuity of cargo flow through quick troubleshooting, escalation, and coordination with internal and external stakeholders. The Executive plays a crucial role in maintaining SLA adherence, service quality, and operational integrity.
A DAY IN A LIFE

- Investigate root causes of shipment failures using FSU analysis and ground handler coordination.
- Provide immediate solutions or alternate handling plans to resolve disruptions in real-time.
2. Stakeholder Coordination
- Act as the first line of response for stations without in-house ops staff, especially where cargo is handled via 3PL.
- Liaise with Ground Handlers, Airlines, Customs, Warehouse, and Control Tower for resolution.
- Escalate critical issues to the Manager or relevant Regional Heads for urgent intervention.
3. Systems & Tools Management
- Utilize Control Tower dashboards, shipment tracking platforms, and internal troubleshooting apps to monitor operational health.
- Log, update, and close tickets in the Troubleshooting System (AppSheet-based).
- Assist in continuous improvement initiatives by flagging recurring issues and contributing to automation efforts.
4. Performance & Documentation
- Document all actions taken, root causes identified, and resolution steps in the system.
- Support in preparing daily/weekly reports on troubleshooting activity, common pain points, and SLA compliance.
