  • Analyze freight performance metrics and implement cost-reduction and efficiency initiatives.
  • Shipping & Receiving Operations

  • Oversee daily shipping and receiving processes, ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and compliance with company standards.
  • Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for shipping / receiving in alignment with trade compliance requirements.
  • Work closely with warehouse teams to ensure proper labeling, packaging, and documentation of shipments.
  • Startup & Cross-Functional Support

  • Assist with related operational tasks during the initial U.S. facility startup phase.
  • Collaborate with supply chain, production, and finance teams to align logistics activities with company goals.
  • Support the transition from Addison to the Geneva facility in 2026, ensuring continuity of operations.
  • Qualifications

    Required :

  • Bachelors degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, International Business, or related field; or equivalent experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in trade compliance, freight forwarding, transportation, or logistics.
  • Strong knowledge of U.S. import / export regulations, HTS classification, and trade compliance requirements.
  • Proven experience working with customs brokers, freight forwarders, and carriers.
  • Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple shipments and priorities simultaneously.
