• Analyze supply chain data to identify potential disruptions and implement alternative logistics plans.
• Monitor freight rates to ensure correct billing and accurately input charges into the company software.
• Coordinate with packing service providers regarding arrival notifications and maintain accurate log files.
• Provide necessary data for intake quality checks and capture arrivals on partner systems.
• Assist in stock management and the allocation of produce to meet customer orders.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain coordination.
• Proven experience working within the fresh produce, perishables, or FMCG industry.
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel, specifically using formulas to analyze and reference complex data sets.
• Extensive experience coordinating with 3rd-party logistics providers, including haulage, forwarders, and customs agents.
