  • Documentation : Ensure documentation accuracy to prevent clearance delays at destination markets.
  • Documentation : Verify freight invoices, cross-check against quotations, and highlight discrepancies.
  • Communication : Act as the contact point between internal teams (Sales, Procurement, Quality), freight agents, and customers.
  • Communication : Notify customers and agents of any delays, flight changes, or operational challenges.
  • Communication : Maintain professional communication and positive relationships with service providers and partners.
  • Reporting and Record-Keeping : Maintain accurate shipment tracking logs and documentation archives.

  • Ability to work under pressure and manage tight export deadlines
  • Qualifications and Experience

  • Diploma or Degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, International Trade, or related field
  • Minimum 1-3 years’ experience in air freight export logistics, preferably in fresh produce or perishables
  • Experience liaising with freight forwarders
  • Working knowledge of export procedures
  • Personal Attributes

  • Highly organized and meticulous with documentation and details
