• Cross‑Functional Partnership - Work closely with the Global Customs Team and develop strong relationships with customers, warehouse teams, compliance, IT, and wider operational stakeholders to drive efficiency and enhance export quality.
• Process Improvement through FLIGHTDECK - Use the FLIGHTDECK system to monitor compliance, identify bottlenecks, and support continuous, sustainable improvements across export workflows.
• Visibility & Accountability - Maintain real‑time tracking and transparent reporting of all export audits, HMRC queries, regulations.
• Proactive Communication & Problem Solving - Serve as the export point‑of‑contact across departments, resolving issues quickly, professionally, and with a customer‑focused mindset.
• Continuous Improvement Culture - Champion standard work, lean principles, and daily operational refinement to deliver consistency and ongoing performance improvement.
• Safety & Compliance - Ensure every export activity is carried out in strict accordance with internal procedures, export regulations, and global safety standards.

What You Bring to the Role:

• Export Expertise - Experience in UK export law, global trade compliance, logistics, or supply chain - ideally within an aerospace, manufacturing, or repair environment.
• Continuous Improvement Mindset - Energetic, curious, and solutions‑driven, with a track record of improving processes, data accuracy, and workflow integration.
• Detail‑Focused & Results‑Oriented - Able to manage high volumes of detailed information without losing sight of deadlines, customer needs, or compliance risk.
• Tech‑Savvy & Analytical - Skilled in logistics systems, export documentation tools, Excel, and data‑driven decision making.
• Excellent Communicator - Confident influencing across all levels, building strong working relationships, and partnering with internal and external stakeholders with clarity and credibility.
