Shipment Coordination
  • Interface with domestic and international carriers, overseas offices, importers, and internal operational teams to facilitate shipment movement.
  • Monitor shipment milestones and take proactive action to prevent service failures.
Operational Excellence
  • Meet established productivity, quality, compliance, and timeliness standards.
  • Manage assigned workload independently while balancing multiple priorities and deadlines.
  • Complete entry imaging, scanning, and recordkeeping requirements within required timeframes.
  • Prepare operational reports, perform data analysis, and support continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Identify recurring customer or process issues and recommend corrective actions to prevent future occurrences.
Additional Responsibilities
  • Resolve finance, billing, and accounting reconciliation issues related to customs transactions.
  • Participate in team training, process improvement efforts, and compliance initiatives.
  • Work weekends and holidays as required based on operational needs and department rotation schedules.
