Join to apply for the General Manager, Ocean Freight role at Sage Consulting Group. Our client is a small family‑owned NVOCC that is handling more than 800 import containers from China every month. They are seeking a conscientious and hands‑on General Manager with extensive NVOCC / ocean freight operations experience, especially for the China‑US trade lane. The current owner will be stepping away from the business to focus on other ventures; a competitive salary with significant equity and revenue share will be granted to the GM.

Professional working fluency in English is also required. This is a FULLY REMOTE position that can be offered to candidates anywhere in the world, provided they meet the requirements. There is a strong preference for candidates who are based in the Greater Los Angeles / Southern California area. Key Responsibilities Oversee daily NVOCC and ocean freight operations, personally handling key tasks when needed. Manage carrier bookings, rate negotiations, space allocation, and schedule coordination directly with shipping lines. Supervise import processes including documentation, HBL/MBL issuance, AMS/ISF filings, and customs coordination. Handle customer communications directly, providing quotes, solving operational issues, and ensuring service reliability. Work closely with trucking providers, warehouses, depots, and container yards to coordinate cargo movement. Monitor shipment status, troubleshoot delays, and resolve exceptions in real time. Maintain strong relationships with overseas agents and partners; coordinate routing, transshipments, and cost management. Oversee billing, invoicing, accounts receivable, and vendor payments to ensure healthy cash flow. Manage P&L at the company level, controlling costs and optimizing profitability.
