Job Summary

Navia is where people, technology, and data combine. We are a fully integrated freight and logistics company delivering empowered outcomes across all aspects of the supply chain, including sea freight, air freight, customs clearance, and third-party logistics/e-commerce.

Our Values: Since 2003, we’ve been defined by driving innovation, delivering transparency, leading with high-performance outcomes, and empowering partnerships.

Innovation - Since Navia began, we’ve been an early adopter of technology, and we’ve pushed the boundaries of that technology to drive even greater efficiency. By helping our clients transform their businesses, we’re also transforming our industry for the better.

Transparency - We’ve always believed that greater clarity delivers greater outcomes. That’s why Navia was founded on accountability, integrity, and loyalty. Our services and systems provide full visibility for clients, and our culture is one of total transparency.

Partnerships - Partnerships are at the heart of Navia. We’re a trusted team with an embedded collective spirit of going beyond the expected. By making the complex simple, we empower our clients to reach heights. With agility, efficiency, and experience, our purpose is simply this: to deliver value.

At Navia, we’re proud to offer an end-to-end supply chain that performs not only in one or two facets but across the entire process. We are a growing business looking to bolster our footprint in North America and expand our presence in the market. As such, we are looking for a candidate to fulfill the role of Air Operations Customer Service Representative.

The Air Operations Customer Service Representative is a global operations support position that requires experience in air freight imports within the freight forwarding industry. By working closely with Key Account Management, this role will support Navia’s growing accounts through day-to-day operational support. This role requires a strong understanding of air freight, excellent communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively across various departments to support our business growth.
