Expanding in SE Asia: Why We are Hiring Local Procurement Experts in Thailand & Vietnam

The Strategic Shift: Why Thailand & Vietnam?

Southeast Asia has become the heartbeat of global trade. Specifically, Thailand and Vietnam have emerged as critical hubs for transshipment and high-tech manufacturing.

At LessGoLife, we are doubling down on our operations in these regions. But to do it right, we don’t just need software—we need local expertise. Here is why we are looking for dedicated Procurement Assistants on the ground.

1. Mastering Transshipment & Logistics

Navigating the logistics landscape in SE Asia requires more than just a map. Our operations involve complex transshipment (转运) processes that demand a deep understanding of local customs, port operations, and transit routes. A local procurement assistant ensures that goods move seamlessly across borders without unnecessary delays.

2. Real-Time Market Sourcing

You can’t find the best deals or the most reliable suppliers from behind a desk in another continent. We need experts who live and breathe the local markets. Whether it’s sourcing IT components in Bangkok or electronics in Ho Chi Minh City, having someone who can visit factories and negotiate in the local language is our greatest competitive advantage.

3. Cultural & Business Nuance

Business in Thailand and Vietnam is built on relationships. We need professionals who understand the local business etiquette and have an established network. This “boots-on-the-ground” approach allows us to secure better pricing and higher quality standards for our clients.

Project Details: What’s in it for you?

We offer a project-based collaboration model that respects your time and rewards your expertise.

  • Project Compensation: Between $500 – $2,000 USD per project (Rate is determined by project complexity and category).
  • Project Duration: Typically ranges from 15 to 35 days.
  • Flexibility: Work remotely within your country, with occasional site visits or supplier meetings.

Who are we looking for?

  • Local Residency: You must currently reside in Thailand or Vietnam.
  • Experience: Proven background in procurement, sourcing, or supply chain management (Electronics/IT industry experience is a huge plus).
  • Language: Fluency in English and your local language (Thai or Vietnamese).
  • Problem Solvers: Ability to handle logistics challenges and find market opportunities independently.
