International shipments Amazon & eCommerce Private Label 2+ years logistics experience Logistics Team

This is not a desk-and-spreadsheet role.

You’ll own international shipments end to end — from requesting forwarder quotations and booking space, to coordinating supplier pick-ups and tracking every order until it’s received at the warehouse.

When things change — and they will — you’ll be the one who evaluates the options and makes real-time decisions on shipment modifications, rerouting, and schedule adjustments, then keeps every internal stakeholder informed.

Behind it all sits accuracy: compliant customs documentation, correct landed costs, and current logistics data in our dashboards, ERP, and project tools.

What you’ll do

Shipment Coordination

• Plan container loads, request and negotiate quotations from multiple freight forwarders, select freight partners, and book space
• Coordinate pick-up with suppliers and track orders from pick-up to warehouse delivery
• Secure quotes for regular and co-load shipments and negotiate rates
• Share and validate shipping documents, and follow up on pickup, customs, delivery milestones, and ETD/ETA dates
• Track ETD/ETA updates and manage schedule changes, delays, vessel rollovers, inspections, damages, and claims
• Proactively resolve issues to minimize cost and transit impact
• Evaluate options and decide on shipment modifications, rerouting, and schedule adjustments
• Handle detention, demurrage, and port storage — and notify internal stakeholders of shipment changes in a timely manner

Compliance, Data & Cost Control

• Prepare and validate commercial invoices, packing lists, Bills of Lading, HS codes, and other customs documentation
• Reconcile documentation errors with suppliers, freight forwarders, and the internal team
• Keep ETD/ETA, warehouse delivery dates, booked vs. actual costs, and tracking information current in dashboards, forwarder websites, and project tools
• Capture accurate and averaged landed costs, master carton and item specs, and duty rates in ERP and reporting systems
• Reconcile and negotiate freight and duty invoices, flag variances, input amounts accurately, and route approved charges for payment

Warehouse Liaison & Continuous Improvement

• Provide advance arrival notices and loading details, and coordinate delivery arrangements
• Validate quantities to be delivered in the ERP and resolve goods‑receiving issues with the warehouse team and forwarders
• Ensure the required documentation for smooth receipt and put‑away
• Maintain freight cost benchmarks, highlight risks, identify bottlenecks, and propose cost‑saving opportunities

Good to know: you’ll deliver a concise weekly logistics status report — your regular chance to surface risks, bottlenecks, and cost‑saving ideas to the team.

The shipment lifecycle

What you own, start to finish.

Every shipment runs through three stages — and you’re accountable for all of them.

Plan container loads, compare and negotiate forwarder quotations, book space, coordinate supplier pick‑up, and validate shipping and customs documents.
