  • Build strong relationships with transport and supply teams to ensure timely delivery.
  • Ensure all new product developments (NPDs) are correctly set up in systems for import/export.

  • Highly organised, self-motivated, and results-focused.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively across teams.
  • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.
  • Knowledge of import/export controls, regulations, and documentation requirements (including declarations, health certificates, veterinary requirements, and related documents).
  • Experience in the FMCG sector is advantageous.
