RESPONSIBILITIES

In-Transit Shipment Management: Monitor all in-transit international shipments end-to-end across every carrier (DHL,

FedEx, and international partners), proactively identifying and resolving carrier issues before they cause delays.

Exception Resolution: Own the resolution of misroutes, held packages, failed pickups, and delivery failures, driving

each to resolution directly with the carrier.

Customs Coordination: Coordinate closely with customs authorities and clearance partners to keep shipments moving

through borders without preventable holds, managing daily pre-alerts and delivery confirmations.

Client & Partner Communication: Serve as the go-to point of contact for clients and partners, providing clear, proactive

updates from pickup through final delivery and setting accurate expectations ahead of any delay or hold.

Visibility & Reporting: Maintain daily visibility across all international shipments in a single source of truth, and own

the daily International Report workflow with accurate, up-to-date data every morning.

Operational Metrics: Track and report on key metrics — exceptions, delays, clearance times, and on-time delivery — to

surface trends and problem lanes, and provide feedback to improve reporting and tooling.

Escalation Support: Serve as an escalation point for booking agents on time-sensitive or at-risk shipments, ensuring

nothing stalls without an owner.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Strong critical thinking and the ability to resolve complex cross-border logistics issues

accountability).
