- Work with Sales, Purchasing, Warehouse and Finance to resolve transport/customs issues and prepare landed-cost estimates/actuals for major inbound shipments.

- Prior exposure to packaging/environmental compliance reporting or data collection is important; Working knowledge of Incoterms 2020, commodity/HS codes and standard import/export documentation, with awareness of customs valuation, duty/import VAT and when specialist advice is needed.
- Strong organisational skills and confidence using ERP/WMS systems, Microsoft Office and operational data to manage multiple live priorities, exceptions and deadlines.
- Commercial awareness, curiosity and initiative: able to balance service, reliability and cost, challenge existing arrangements and follow material issues through to resolution.
- The role has genuine ownership of transport service, cost and carrier performance rather than simply processing bookings.
You will have scope to challenge how we work, improve the carrier network and use data to make better decisions, while working closely with the Warehouse Operations Manager and commercial teams.
