Vacant job

Do you have education and practical experience from LIA (internship) in traffic management or forwarding, and do you want to develop within a global company? Are you also a proactive, curious, and receptive person? We are now looking for a Traffic Manager for the summer for our client in Gothenburg!

About the role

This is a full-time consultancy assignment starting immediately and running through the end of August. You will be employed by Bravura and work as a consultant at the client's site. There are possibilities to extend the assignment.

We cannot currently disclose which company this concerns. Naturally, you will find out during the process, at the latest when you are interviewed here at Bravura.

💼 Responsibilities

In the role of Traffic Manager, you work operationally and close to the business with international road transport within Europe. You act as the hub between the customer and the supplier, ensuring that transports are handled correctly from the moment a request comes in until the assignment is completed and followed up. The work is part of daily production and involves close collaboration with both internal colleagues and external parties.

You receive transport requests and bookings, work with pricing within given frameworks, and have ongoing dialogue with colleagues and carriers in various European countries. A central part of the role is to follow up on ongoing transports and handle deviations that occur along the way. This may involve delays, changes, or questions from customers that require quick and clear answers. To solve this, you need to quickly understand the situation, make the right contacts, and drive the case forward until it is resolved.

The role involves a lot of communication via email and phone, both in Swedish and English, and you have daily contact with customers, suppliers, and internal functions. You work in several transport and booking systems and support the team in the daily flow, especially during the summer period. The work takes place in an environment where pace, responsibility, and collaboration are important parts of everyday life.

• Handle transport requests, bookings, and pricing.
• Ongoing dialogue with colleagues and carriers.

🔍 Education, experience, and personal qualities

• Post-secondary education in transport, forwarding, or traffic management.
• Practical experience from summer jobs or LIA in traffic management, forwarding, or transport planning.
• Good computer and system skills.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written – much dialogue takes place in English.

To thrive and succeed in the role, you need to be communicative and confident in your interactions with others. You take responsibility for your cases, drive them forward on your own initiative, and do not wait for instructions for the next step. With a good understanding of the entire transport chain, you easily see which contacts need to be made to solve different situations. You are curious, receptive, and have a strong desire to develop, but above all, you are proactive. You dare to make decisions even when all conditions are not entirely clear, and you see mistakes as a natural part of learning. The right attitude and strong drive are crucial for success in this role.
