Job Description & Summary

About us:

Our team is the leading provider of customs, excise and international trade expertise in the Irish market. Our clients cover a very broad range of sectors including chemical, industrial, retail, pharmaceutical, agriculture, food and beverage processing, healthcare, software and technology companies operating all over the world.

What we do:

It is a very exciting time in the area of Global Trade and Customs. Globally governments are moving towards indirect taxation as a source of revenue, trade disputes and trade wars continue to upset supply chains all while our clients are changing the way they deliver their products and services to their customers.

What does this role offer?

Ongoing trade wars, the introduction of new free trade agreements, export licensing and sanctions are just some of the issues that impact upon global trade and are affecting the ability of our clients to move their products and services across international borders in a timely and cost efficient manner. If our clients are moving goods or providing software across an international border then our team is who they work with. We focus on ensuring that the product continues to be commercially competitive despite the ever evolving global trade environment and increases to the customs duty rate of certain products.

In addition, you will work closely in supporting clients to ensure no legal or even criminal issues arise for their organisations through the export of ‘dual‑use’ items. This is particularly relevant in the Irish economy for those ‘tech’ companies who export highly encrypted software.

• Motivate your team to perform at their best, make a difference and deliver results, while providing mentorship and guidance allowing them to stretch to their full potential
• Work on attracting, developing and retaining the best talents for the firm

Experiences and skills:

• You have over 8 years in a Global Trade and Customs role with at least 5 years at manager level
• Strong academic record with a degree in accounting, economics, finance, or law
• You must have strong leadership skills and have a proven record in building a team with the capacity and capability to deliver
