- Provide guidance to team members on established procedures, industry terminology, and best practices for handling import shipments.
- Prepare freight invoices and billing documentation, monitor outstanding balances, and follow up on overdue payments within established credit terms.
- Maintain compliance with internal operating standards, applicable customs requirements, and relevant government regulations.
- Assess existing processes and recommend improvements that promote accuracy, efficiency, and consistent service quality.
- Maintain accurate shipment records and document service exceptions, including missed milestones and delivery deadlines.
- Collaborate with operations personnel to meet productivity goals and maintain high service standards.
- Coordinate with international offices and sales teams to support existing customer relationships and contribute to new business opportunities.
- Assist department management with operational questions and complex account matters when additional expertise is needed.
Qualifications
- High school diploma or GED required.
- At least five years of experience in air import operations, international freight forwarding, or a closely related logistics field.
- Background in transportation, international trade, supply chain management, or global logistics.
- Familiarity with freight forwarding and import management systems, such as CargoWise or AS400.
- Working knowledge of international trade practices, Incoterms, customs clearance procedures, and applicable tariffs and regulations.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
- Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities while meeting time-sensitive deadlines.
- Strong customer service and communication skills, including professional written correspondence and effective phone and electronic communication.
- Ability to work collaboratively with internal teams, external customers, and international business partners.
- Previous experience in a senior, lead, or supervisory capacity is beneficial but not required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Associate or bachelor's degree in a relevant field.
- Certifications related to logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain systems.
- Familiarity with the operating practices of Japanese or Singaporean logistics organizations.
- Experience coordinating shipments involving dangerous goods or hazardous chemicals.
- Proficiency in a second language; Japanese language skills are particularly desirable.
