• Work with internal teams and external suppliers to obtain accurate and complete shipping documentation (e.g. commercial invoices, regulatory paperwork), and apply knowledge of core shipping aspects to maintain compliance with external customs/legal parameters.
• Serve as the primary operational contact for internal requesters, communicating shipment requirements, status updates, and proactively managing expectations throughout the delivery process.
• Closely monitor the pipeline for delays, risks, or recurring compliance issues, and immediately flag potential bottlenecks or areas of non-adherence to the Logistics Manager for resolution.

To set you up for success as the Logistics Operations Coordinator, we look for the following skills and experience:

• Practical understanding of core shipping requirements, documentation, and procedures (e.g. shipping terms, commercial invoices).
• Demonstrable experience in logistics and/or a process oriented operational role within a fast-paced global environment.
• Proven ability to diligently manage and adhere to established policies and internal processes.
• Strong organisational and communication skills, with a proactive approach to stakeholder management and flagging issues early and clearly.
• Proficiency in data entry, spreadsheet management, and logistics tracking tools to maintain pipeline visibility and accuracy.
