Cross Border Trade Shipping Specialist

At Mercado Libre, we are democratizing commerce, money, and payments across Latin America.

In Mercado Envíos, we manage our sellers' inventory and deliver products to our buyers, enhancing their experience on our platform. Join the US Cross-Border First Mile team, ensuring every outbound leg — from seller pickup to Miami consolidation and air departure — runs on time, within cost and to expected service levels.

Based in Miami, USA.

We have a challenge for people who:

• Vibrate with entrepreneurial energy: driven by curiosity, they never give up and push their own limits.
• Give their all, because they love working with commitment and dedication.
• See change as an opportunity and learn from their mistakes.
• Excellence and execution are paramount in how they work.
• Promote a great atmosphere, joy, and fun.
• Know how to build with others and enjoy teamwork.

Imagine taking on challenging, dynamic and innovative projects, being responsible for:

• First mile network supervision: supervise the end-to-end first mile operation in the US, ensuring on-time Line Haul arrivals/departures and accurate carrier assignment across active lanes.
• Drop Off Point and deviation management: guarantee Drop Off Points are operational and connect cargo to MIA per agreements, resolving deviations in real time.
• Miami Cross-Dock (XD) operations: oversee the third-party Cross-Dock in Miami, ensuring daily seller pickups within agreed windows and validating vehicle capacities.
• XD service compliance: monitor compliance with service levels, KPIs and SLAs at the Miami XD, coordinating capacity for volume fluctuations and peak demand.
• Operational visibility and provider management: develop tracking reports for real-time visibility and risk anticipation, leading daily provider calls on incident management and service improvement.
• Network evolution: contribute to designing new flows as the modular network evolves, partnering with Control Tower, FC Operations and International Linehaul teams for end-to-end continuity.

Requirements:

• Experience in transportation operations, logistics or supply chain, with hands-on exposure to first mile, linehaul, cross-docking or fulfillment center operations and SLA accountability.
• Strong analytical skills: work with operational data, detect deviations and translate findings into concrete action plans.
• SQL proficiency required: independently query databases, cross-reference data and build monitoring views without BI or data engineering support.
• Proven experience supervising third-party providers (3PLs, carriers, logistics operators), including performance reviews and SLA enforcement.
• Excellent communication skills for internal reporting and operational leadership with providers.
• Fluent English required (100% English-language operation with US providers); Spanish/Portuguese is a plus.

We offer you:

• Great perks and benefits since day 1, like PTO, 401K matching and Health Insurance.
• To be part of an entrepreneurial company where we love thinking big and long-term.
• To be the protagonist of your development in an environment of opportunity, learning, growth and challenging projects.
• An excellent work environment with everything you need for a great experience.
