• Identify exceptions within processes, systems, or transactions and monitor data and systems to detect anomalies, analyse, root cause, classify and prioritise based on severity & impact.
• Efficiently resolve exceptions & prevent recurrence – developing corrective actions for immediate resolution, collaborate with relevant teams to resolve in a timely manner, propose longer term improvements to prevent in future.
• Provide internal team audit support to ensure compliance.
• Coordinate with all other relevant parties as required eg Customer, haulier and others.
• Maintain accurate records of issues and of steps taken for resolution and provide reporting for analysis of resolution effectiveness.
• Accurate tracking & reporting of exceptions.
• Provide support to team members and end users on exception handling procedures and standard customs tasks.
