Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The National Account Executive manages and develops relationships with major customers, particularly Japanese-speaking accounts, to grow revenue and strengthen FedEx business in the Philippines. Requirements typically include strong Japanese and English communication skills, experience in B2B sales, account management or logistics, commercial awareness, and the ability to prepare proposals, negotiate contracts and meet sales targets. The candidate is expected to understand customer supply-chain needs, coordinate with internal operations teams, maintain accurate account records, identify new business opportunities and provide responsive service. A customer-focused attitude, organization, presentation skills, willingness to travel and proficiency with CRM and Microsoft Office tools are also valuable.
Can I work in the Philippines?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Work permit route with the local-first test; ports and trucks-for-hire also need proof that no Filipino is available; warehouse and driver jobs go to Filipinos.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Country and regional manager posts at global carriers and couriers are the realistic foreign hires.

What the job usually comes with in the Philippines
Usual for Logistics jobs in the Philippines, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Senior expat packages often add a housing allowance; local-hire contracts do not |
|---|---|
| Relocation | Employer files the permit and visa; fees are agreed in the contract; moving help for senior hires only |
| Flights | Yearly home flight in some senior expat packages; none for local hires |
| Pay and overtime | Night work (10 pm to 6 am) pays 10% more, overtime 25% more; not for managers or off-site staff (by law) |
| Contract | Regular after at most 6 months' probation (by law); foreigners' contracts follow the permit, 1 to 3 years |
| Leave | 5 days after 1 year; 10 regular holidays and 8 special days in 2026 (by law) |
| Income tax | 0% to PHP 250,000 a year (about USD 4,000), then 15% to 35%; 13th month tax-free to PHP 90,000 |
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
