Coordinate with IT department to enhance the existing systems, to fix known issues or prevent potential systemic problems to happen

Execute day-to-day import/export transactions; prepare and verify shipping and customs documents.
Coordinate with customs brokers, freight forwarders, and warehouses to achieve on-time, in-full (OTIF) deliveries.
Track shipments, resolve holds/discrepancies, and control logistics costs.

HS Code Classification & COO Support

Maintain accurate HS codes and COO data for all parts; keep records and evidence for audits.

Work with engineering, suppliers, and planning to secure parts availability and quality.
Provide transparent cost/lead-time to stakeholders and proactively communicate risks.

Cost Improvement & Optimization

Identify tangible cost reductions in freight, duties, packaging, and inventory holding.
Consolidate shipments, optimize Incoterms (where applicable), and propose route/carrier improvements.
Support pricing/margin decisions through cost breakdowns and variance analysis.

Audit, Internal Control & SOX

Operate and evidence key controls across order-to-cash, inventory, and trade compliance.
Prepare audit samples, respond to findings, and implement corrective actions in a timely manner.
Maintain process documentation (SOPs, work instructions, control matrices).

Packaging Projects

Implement packaging optimization initiatives to reduce damage, cube, and cost while improving sustainability.
Validate packaging specs with suppliers and 3PLs; pilot and roll out changes with clear success metrics.

Dealer / Technical / RAM Liaison

Be the operational point of contact for dealers and RAM on parts availability, supersession, and application queries.
Coordinate with technical teams to resolve product queries and quality concerns.
Provide clear, proactive communications on ETAs, constraints, and workarounds.

Own routine analytics: stock levels, back orders (BO), slow/obsolete items, and supersession mapping.
Set and adjust stock parameters (min/max, reorder points) to balance service and cash.
Drive actions to improve stock turns and fill rate; clear aged/obsolete inventory.

Stock Count & Inventory Accuracy

Plan and execute cycle counts and annual counts with 3PL partners; investigate and close variances.

Core Competencies

Hands-on ownership and continuous improvement mindset.
Clear, proactive communication with cross-functional partners and dealers.
Problem-solving under time pressure with strong compliance discipline.
