What you'll do

  • Manage end-to-end transport of IT hardware — rack systems, servers, GPUs, and other data center equipment — across all APAC lanes, including inbound shipments from Taiwan, inter-regional moves, and outbound flows as required.
  • Coordinate air freight and road transport scheduling, carrier and freight forwarder selection, and delivery execution to ensure on-time, damage-free arrival at APAC data center sites.
  • Handle all RMA and RMS shipments within the APAC region, including coordination with vendors, carriers, and internal teams to ensure accurate and timely processing.
  • Manage equipment transfers between company warehouses and data center facilities across the region, optimising routes and minimising handling risk.

  • Manage time-critical air freight shipments where required, including carrier selection, booking, and end-to-end tracking to ensure expedited delivery of hardware.
  • Coordinate closely with data center operations teams across APAC to support staging, buffering, and just-in-time hardware deployment.
  • Maintain accurate in-transit inventory records and ensure proper chain-of-custody documentation for all shipments.
  • Manage all shipment-related documentation in relevant systems (Jira, TMS, or equivalent), ensuring records are complete, accurate, and audit-ready.
  • Process and reconcile logistics invoices; manage payments for transportation operations, including ZIP payments to the appropriate vendors and partners.
  • Work with the security team to establish and maintain secure shipment protocols for high-value hardware across the region.
  • Ensure all shipments comply with applicable regulations across APAC jurisdictions, including country-specific import/export requirements, customs procedures, and trade compliance obligations.
  • Manage duties, taxes, and customs declarations for inbound and outbound shipments across the region, ensuring correct classification and valuation of high-value IT hardware.
  • Maintain audit-ready documentation for all logistics activities, supporting internal (SOX) and external compliance requirements.
  • Establish and enforce SLAs and KPIs with freight carriers, forwarders, and 3PL partners; drive accountability through regular performance reviews.
  • Identify and escalate compliance gaps or process deviations, implementing corrective actions as needed.
  • Partner with hardware engineering, procurement, finance, and data center operations to align APAC logistics execution with deployment timelines and business priorities.
  • Collaborate with OEM suppliers based in Taiwan to coordinate international shipping windows, batch tracking, customs documentation, and inbound scheduling into APAC facilities.
  • Act as the primary escalation point for transport-related issues across the APAC region.
  • Work closely with the global transport team to ensure regional operations align with global standards, processes, and reporting requirements.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives through KPI tracking, root cause analysis, and process standardisation.
  • Forecast transportation demand across APAC based on data center expansion plans, hardware deployment schedules, and capacity needs.
  • Identify cost optimisation opportunities through carrier consolidation, routing improvements, and smarter scheduling across APAC lanes.
  • Track and report on regional logistics costs, flagging variances and recommending corrective actions.

  • Strong understanding of customs regulations, import/export procedures, and trade compliance across multiple APAC jurisdictions.
  • Experience managing and negotiating with carriers, freight forwarders, and 3PL partners across the APAC region.

  • Fluency in English required; additional Asian languages (Mandarin, Korean, Hindi, or similar) are a strong advantage.

Nice to have

  • Experience in a hyperscaler, cloud provider, or large-scale data center build-out environment.
  • Familiarity with ATA Carnet processes and temporary import/export mechanisms for repair and return shipments.
