Job Description

Are you a Customs expert ready to bring your skills to one of the most fascinating sectors in logistics?

This is a unique opportunity to join a leading fine art shipping company, where precision, passion, and professionalism meet culture and creativity. You’ll play a vital role in ensuring artworks and high‑value shipments move smoothly across borders — balancing compliance, accuracy, and speed in a fast‑paced environment.

The Role

You’ll be a key part of the Customs team, managing the full range of import and export formalities. From preparing and submitting declarations to closing down T1s, you’ll take ownership of ensuring all movements comply with UK and international customs regulations. This isn’t a support role — it’s for someone who knows customs inside out and can hit the ground running.

While the business handles multimodal shipments, a large proportion of work is road freight, often time‑sensitive with last‑minute requests. This means we’re looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic, fast‑moving environment — ideally with road freight or multimodal experience, rather than purely sea freight.

You’ll also liaise with third‑party providers, issuing instructions and ensuring accuracy across all documentation and communication.
