The role
You take over the day-to-day operations of MG-Atlantic: every container that leaves or returns to a depot, and every invoice and payment linked to it.
The role joins two sides that are usually split: you follow a unit from release to return, and you make sure each charge is invoiced, paid and reconciled.
Why it matters
Our customers judge us on two things: the container is where we said, when we said, and the invoice is right. You are the person who makes both true, every day, across leasing, trading and storage.
Operations
- Issue release orders (gate-out) and return instructions (gate-in), and follow each unit until it is back in a depot.
- Work with partner depots on availability, EIRs, storage, repairs and damage estimates.
- Organise pickups, drop-offs and repositioning with depots, hauliers, customers and shipping lines.
- Keep container numbers, statuses and documents accurate in our system.
- Handle damage and loss claims with depots and customers.
Finance
- Invoice from operational data: pickup charges, per diem, storage, damage and container sales.
- Follow payments, send reminders and manage overdue accounts together with sales.
- Check depot and supplier invoices against the operations they bill.
- Follow receivables, payables and cash flow across currencies (USD, EUR, CHF).
- Prepare figures for management and for the accountants.
A typical week
What your days look like
- Releasing ten units for a one-way customer and checking the pickups against the depot's gate-out report.
- Agreeing a damage estimate with a depot after a return, and passing it on to the lessee with the photos and the EIR.
- Running the month's per diem and storage invoices from the operational data, then sending the reminders that are due.
- Matching a depot's storage bill to the units actually on site before it is paid.
- Giving the founders a clear view of open receivables and the cash position.
