About Us

STARK is a new kind of defence technology company revolutionizing the way autonomous systems are deployed across multiple domains. We design, develop, and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are software-defined, mass-scalable, and cost-effective. This provides our operators with a decisive edge in highly contested environments.

We’re focused on delivering deployable, high-performance systems—not future promises. In a time of rising threats, STARK is bolstering the technological edge of NATO Allies and their Partners to deter aggression and defend Europe—today.

Your mission

We are seeking a highly organized, resilient, and detail-oriented Transport Coordinator (Import/Export) to manage the end-to-end domestic & international movement of our defence and aerospace products. Working closely with our in-house Export Control Lead, you will be the operational powerhouse responsible for booking freight, managing relationships with freight forwarders, and generating all necessary shipping documentation.

Because we are in our scaling phase, this is a greenfield role. You won’t just inherit a smooth-running machine; you will be the primary architect responsible for designing, building, and implementing our transport, shipping, and customs processes from scratch.

Crucially, this role involves coordinating the transport of military-grade/controlled assets and Dangerous Goods (DG), establishing a proactive international network of secure port-side logistics partners, and maintaining flawless system logs to ensure 100% readiness for customs and government compliance audits.

Responsibilities

Process Creation & System Implementation: Establish SOPs, ERP tracking, and workflows for import, export, MoD shipping, and dangerous goods from scratch.
Shipment Coordination & Carrier Management: Plan, book, and track international shipments of military and dual-use items while managing freight forwarders.
Border Contingency & Regional Partner Management: Build a network of security-cleared border/port partners and manage emergency holds or customs delays.
Documentation & Customs Preparation: Issue all shipping documents (Invoices, Packing Lists, DGNs) and verify declarations via HMRC systems (CDS/GVMS).
Systems Logging & Audit Readiness: Maintain real-time ERP logs and secure record archives to ensure full compliance for government export audits.

Qualifications

Defence Sector Experience: 3+ years of experience in international logistics, shipping, or freight forwarding, specifically handling controlled, military, or dual-use goods under UK and international export control regulations.
Export Control Familiarity: Working knowledge of UK export licensing frameworks, including SIELs and OGELs, administered through SPIRE/LITE.
Security Clearance: Eligible to obtain, or currently holding, UK Security Clearance (SC).
Systems Literacy: Proficient in using ERP systems, logistics management software, and spreadsheets for shipment tracking, reporting, and data management.
Vendor & Network Management: Strong relationship-building skills with a proven track record of sourcing, onboarding, and managing high-security third-party warehousing and cross-docking partners internationally.
Technical Skills: Expert knowledge of HS code classification, customs procedures, and Incoterms® 2020.
Documentation: Proven track record of preparing accurate commercial invoices, packing lists, and shipping documentation.
Meticulous Document Control: Exceptional attention to detail, ensuring accurate documentation and minimizing compliance risks and financial penalties during audits.
Crisis Management & Resilience: Proven ability to remain calm and coordinate effective logistics solutions during border delays, customs holds, or other supply chain disruptions.
Communication Skills: Strong communicator, effectively coordinating between internal operational teams and external freight forwarders, customs brokers, and border authorities.

Nice to have

Dangerous Goods Expertise: Proven experience handling hazardous cargo, with familiarity with at least one major regulatory framework (ADR for road, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations for air, or the IMDG Code for sea transport).
HMRC Audit Support: Experience preparing for or supporting HMRC customs audits.
Industry Network: An established network of relationships with UK port-side or airport-adjacent logistics providers and partners in key international trade hubs.
Dangerous Goods Certification: A valid IATA Dangerous Goods or ADR certification.

Our Commitment to the Armed Forces Community

We are proud to hold the Bronze Award from the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS), reflecting our meaningful commitment and ongoing support for UK defence personnel. At our core, we believe in championing those who serve, those who have served, and their families. As part of this scheme, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive, supportive environment where members of the Armed Forces community can thrive and bring their invaluable skills to our team.

About us

SECURITY CLEARANCE
Due to the nature of our work in the defence sector, candidates must be eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position. Details will be provided during the recruitment process.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
