Assistant Procurement Manager — Cross-Border Transportation

Position Title: Assistant Procurement Manager — Cross-Border Transportation

Location: Monterrey, Mexico

Overview

Cross-border transportation is one of the most commercially demanding and relationship-driven categories in Mexico's logistics landscape, and Maersk MGF is growing aggressively within it. The Assistant Procurement Manager for Cross-Border Transportation will own the procurement of cross-border drayage and carrier capacity across key Mexico-US corridors, building the provider relationships, market intelligence, and commercial frameworks that keep Maersk competitive in a fast-moving market. This role is based in Monterrey, where proximity to the cross-border carrier market, product leadership, and operations is a direct commercial advantage. The right person already knows this market, already has the relationships, and is ready to own a category that is being built to win.

Key Responsibilities

1. Category Strategy and Sourcing

Develop and execute procurement strategies for assigned cross-border transportation corridors, ensuring alignment with Maersk's commercial objectives and MGF growth targets.

Build and maintain a tiered provider portfolio across key Mexico-US border crossings, with every provider placement grounded in commercial performance and market capability.

Lead sourcing events including RFPs, rate negotiations, and new provider evaluations across assigned corridors.

Negotiate rates, capacity commitments, and service terms with cross-border providers, using market intelligence and cost knowledge as the foundation for every commercial conversation.

2. Provider Relationship Management

Own and actively manage the cross-border provider network for assigned corridors, maintaining the kind of direct, ongoing relationships that generate capacity priority and market intelligence.

Stay close to providers through regular direct engagement, including phone and face-to-face contact, understanding their operating models, capacity constraints, and commercial priorities.

Use provider relationships to surface early visibility into capacity trends, rate movements, and market shifts before they affect Maersk's ability to execute.

Make deliberate portfolio decisions based on provider performance, adjusting tier assignments and lane allocations as market conditions evolve.

3. Market Intelligence and Cost Leadership

Maintain active and current knowledge of the cross-border freight market across key corridors including Laredo, El Paso, and Nogales, tracking capacity dynamics, rate movements, border crossing conditions, and B1 carrier availability.

Build and maintain rate benchmarks and cost models for assigned lanes, using that intelligence to negotiate competitively and challenge provider pricing that does not reflect market reality.

Track and report savings, cost avoidance, and EBIT contribution for assigned corridors on a regular cadence.

Surface market intelligence proactively to Product and commercial leadership, providing the cost context needed to price competitively and win business.

4. Compliance and Risk Management

Verify provider compliance at point of execution including CTPAT certification, DOT/MC authority, insurance coverage, and SCT authorization for all cross-border movements.

Monitor compliance status of active providers on an ongoing basis and escalate lapses immediately.

Identify and mitigate capacity, service, and compliance risks across assigned corridors, developing contingency provider options before disruptions occur.

Stay current on cross-border regulatory developments including USMCA implications, border crossing requirements, and changes affecting carrier operations.

5. Stakeholder Engagement

Serve as the primary procurement contact for Sales, Product, and Operations on cross-border capacity and pricing for assigned corridors.

Build credibility with internal stakeholders through proactive communication, data-backed recommendations, and market intelligence that supports faster and better commercial decisions.

Communicate corridor performance, market developments, and provider intelligence to senior leadership in a clear and commercially informed manner.

Influence and align cross-functional stakeholders on procurement priorities without direct authority.

Ideal Candidate

3 to 6 years in cross-border freight procurement, carrier management, or logistics commercial roles with direct and demonstrable experience in the Mexico-US cross-border market.

Established relationships with cross-border carriers and providers operating on key Mexico-US corridors. This is not a role for someone learning the market. The right person already knows the players, the lanes, and how business gets done at the border.

Deep understanding of cross-border freight dynamics including B1 capacity, border crossing strategies, CTPAT certification, and the commercial behavior of carriers operating in this space.

Proven negotiation experience with transportation providers, including the ability to challenge rates, apply market pressure, and secure capacity under competitive conditions.

Strong analytical and data skills, with the ability to build rate benchmarks, interpret market data, and present commercial analysis clearly and independently.

Comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-moving, high-visibility environment where speed and accuracy both matter.

Bilingual Spanish and English required. Cross-border carrier relationships and operational conversations happen in Spanish. Commercial reporting and regional alignment happen in English.

What's in it for You

Ownership of one of the fastest-growing and most commercially active categories in Maersk Mexico, with direct impact on the company's ability to compete and grow in the cross-border market.

A Monterrey base that puts you at the center of the cross-border freight market, close to the carriers, the customers, and the product leadership that depends on what you deliver.

Direct visibility with senior commercial and procurement leadership, with the scope to shape how Maersk sources and manages cross-border capacity in Mexico.

Development of advanced procurement, negotiation, and market intelligence skills inside a global logistics leader that is investing seriously in this category.
