Build and maintain transportation and trade reporting that monitors forecast accuracy, booking timeliness, carrier performance, on-time delivery, landed cost, customs exceptions, partner performance, and operational risk.
Oversee trade compliance execution by coordinating customs documentation, broker alignment, Incoterms application, and adherence to UK Customs Declaration Service (CDS), EU declaration platforms, and country-specific import/export requirements.
Lead application of tariff classification, customs valuation, rules of origin, and duty optimization programs, including the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), GSP/DCTS, and special customs regimes where applicable, while directing brokers and representatives to improve filing accuracy and issue resolution.
Serve as a key contact for audits, disclosures, and regulatory inquiries involving HMRC, Border Force, and relevant European customs authorities, while supporting readiness for emerging sustainability and traceability requirements.

About You:

Minimum 3-5 years of experience in transportation, logistics, customs, or trade compliance, with stronger emphasis on transportation planning and execution for international inbound operations and UK/EU imports.

Practical expertise in the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), UK Customs Declaration Service (CDS), EU declaration platforms, and the application of tariff classification, customs valuation, and rules of origin.
Preferred knowledge of AEO concepts, broker oversight, HMRC and EU customs audit expectations, and emerging sustainability-related trade requirements such as EUDR, ESPR, and Digital Product Passport.

Effective communication and collaboration skills, with proficiency in Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and relevant transportation or trade systems such as SAP, TMS, Infor Nexus, Tableau, or GTS platforms.
