  • Ability to manage high-volume shipments in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Strong communication skills and confidence working with global teams and clients
  • Sharp attention to detail with a focus on accuracy and execution
  • Proficiency in logistics systems and Microsoft Office tools
  • Knowledge of global shipping routes, ocean carriers, and freight forwarding processes
  • Working understanding of import/export compliance (AMS, ISF, customs requirements)
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, or related field preferred
