About Us What if your work could drive change in a globally established industry, shaping processes that touch every corner of the world? At Forto, we are at the forefront of change, harnessing the power of AI to revolutionise logistics. We want to reinvent digital supply chains to be transparent, frictionless and sustainable. From day one, our mission has been to simplify global trade – creating a seamless and efficient logistics process. About the role As one of our Legal Counsel, you will be the primary legal architect ensuring our digital freight forwarding operations remain robust, compliant, and risk resilient. This isn't just a "paperwork" role; you will be deeply embedded in the business, managing the friction points of international logistics; from chasing down outstanding debt to steering high-stakes litigation with external advisors. You’ll balance a "get it done" operational mindset with the strategic foresight needed to build scalable processes that protect our bottom line without slowing down our growth. Key Responsibilities Operational Legal Support: Provide daily guidance on freight forwarding issues (Incoterms, Bills of Lading, Liens, and carrier liability) to our operations and sales teams. Process Engineering & Risk Mitigation: Collaborate with a variety of internal stakeholders to design and implement automated risk-management workflows. You will proactively identify "leakage" points and create processes to mitigate them. Debt Collection & Recovery: Take the lead on managing overdue accounts, coordinating with finance teams, and executing legal strategies to recover outstanding payments across multiple jurisdictions. Litigation Management: Act as the primary point of contact for external law firms. You will oversee cargo claims, carrier disputes, and commercial litigation, ensuring external spend is optimized and cases are resolved efficiently. Stakeholder Alignment: Work cross-functionally with Finance, Tech, Operations, and Sales to ens

From day one, our mission has been to simplify global trade – creating a seamless and efficient logistics process. Your role & Mission At Forto, we are made to move forward. We are transforming one of the world’s most complex industries by solving what others still treat as unsolvable.

You will own the Financials product domain - one of Forto’s most critical areas - ensuring accurate revenue capture, cost control, margin protection, and trusted financial visibility. This is not a traditional finance tooling role. It sits at the intersection of logistics and finance, where complex operational challenges, partner costs, customer agreements, and fragmented processes must be transformed into scalable product solutions. You will also lead and coach two Product Managers working on closely connected domains, shaping the team's direction, raising the quality of product thinking, and helping them grow into stronger product leaders. This role is for someone who thrives in complexity, thinks at both system and detail level, influences across functions, and turns ambiguity into clear product direction. What you will do Lead the PM team responsible for Forto’s financial execution flow: Financials, procured services, committed capacity, cost structures, and margin control. Own the Financials product strategy across revenue, cost, invoicing, VAT, FX, reporting, financial controls, profit visibility, and customer-facing financial flows. T
