Jobbeschreibung

Overview

We are currently recruiting an Export & Logistics Professional (m/f/d) on behalf of one of our clients for their office in Cologne. This role is ideal for someone with a background in export and logistics, for example as a Speditionskaufmann Exportsachbearbeiter Export-Sachbearbeiter or Logistics Coordinator with strong expertise in export documentation and VAT.

This is an opportunity to contribute your expertise, make a real impact and grow within an ambitious international business that is transforming its industry.

Tasks

You will manage the daily export workflow for vehicles sold via a B2B platform, ensuring all cross-border logistics are handled efficiently, compliantly, and with a strong focus on documentation quality.

This is not a traditional dispatch role. You will act as the export documentation and VAT expert, ensuring that every vehicle handover is supported by a complete, accurate and audit-ready evidence pack.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing export cases end-to-end across EU and non-EU markets
• Coordinating vehicle collections with compounds and freight forwarders
• Preparing and validating ownership transfer and deregistration documents according to country-specific requirements
• Compiling export evidence packs (CMR/PoD ICS MRN/IE599 invoices carrier and compound documentation)
• Producing VAT-compliant documentation for B2B net sales and supporting non-EU export declarations
• Performing final quality checks before closing cases in internal systems and ensuring full audit readiness
• Resolving missing or incorrect documentation with buyers, carriers, compounds and partners
• Identifying risks early, communicating clearly in German and English and supporting market rollout projects

Requirements

• C1/C2 or business-fluent German and English (written and spoken)
• Additional European languages are a plus (Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch)
• Hands-on experience with export documentation for EU and/or non-EU shipments (e.g. ownership transfer, export declarations, MRN, IE599, preference documents)
• Solid understanding of EU B2B VAT for cross-border transactions or strong motivation to develop expertise in this area
• Confident collaboration with freight forwarders, compounds and service providers
• Vocational training or degree in forwarding, logistics, export or supply chain
• Experience in a start-up or scale-up environment is an advantage

Benefits

• Hybrid & flexible working model
• 28 days of annual leave plus your birthday off
• Annual Well-Being Day and Paid Charity Day
• Modern office in Cologne (Mülheim area, excellent transport links)
• Full training and development opportunities in a dynamic scale-up environment
• Diverse supportive team culture

Ready to take the next step

If you are looking for a role where your export and VAT expertise truly matters and where you can grow within an international forward-thinking business we would be delighted to receive your application.

Please submit your CV in English for the position of Export & Logistics Professional (m/f/d) based in Cologne.
