What working for us will look like on a day-to-day basis: As Export Shipping Co-ordinator, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our products reach customers around the world safely, efficiently and on time. You’ll manage the movement of our products by air, road and sea, ensuring shipments meet customer, Customs and country-specific requirements while balancing service, cost and timescales.
Your core working hours will be Monday to Thursday 08:00 to 17:00 and Friday 08:00 to 12:30, with flexitime being part of our working hours.
This role is best suited to a mid-senior level professional with managing export shipping and international freight experience.
In this role, you will:
- Own the journey from order to delivery — managing export shipments by air, road and sea, selecting the right shipping method and freight forwarder to meet customer requirements, deadlines and cost expectations.
- Co-ordinate with people to keep shipments moving — working closely with customers, colleagues, freight forwarders, carriers and other third parties to manage priorities, resolve issues and find practical solutions when challenges arise.
- Make sure every shipment is compliant and ready to go — managing export, Customs and shipping documentation, including Certificates of Origin and, where required, Letters of Credit and external inspection requirements.
- Use your judgement to make things happen — making confident, time-critical decisions when circumstances change, prioritising your workload and taking ownership of shipments and issues from start to finish.
- Keep a close eye on service and costs — monitoring shipping performance and freight costs, taking action where needed and balancing customer requirements with the commercial needs of the business.
- Look for better ways of working — bringing a proactive approach to the role and identifying opportunities to improve shipping processes, efficiency and service.
What success looks like: In your first 12 months, you’ll build a strong understanding of our business, customers, products and export shipping processes. You’ll also build relationships with colleagues across the business and with key external partners, giving you the knowledge and confidence to manage shipments effectively.
What you can bring to Terasaki:
- Export Shipping Experience: Practical experience managing export shipping and international freight.
- Customs Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) experience would be an advantage.
- Continuous Improvement: Proactive approach with a willingness to identify opportunities and find better ways of working.
- Stakeholder Relationships: Comfortable building positive working relationships across different teams and with external partners.
