In a nutshell 🥜
We are looking for a Logistics and Exports Specialist to work closely with our very busy sales team in Greece. This role will keep you on your toes, as you’ll be juggling negotiations and finding the most efficient solutions for transporting both fresh produce and oils globally, handling all exportation documents, as well as the less exciting (let’s be honest), but equally important administrative tasks.
Responsibilities include:
Logistics:
- Negotiating prices and conditions with logistics suppliers and services, by finding routes with competitive costs and optimum transit times
- Keeping up-to-date on new local and international transportation regulations
- Proactively identify and address potential delivery delays or disruptions
- Master logistics to ensure deliveries reach the right place, at the right time, every time
- Claims management
Exports:
- Arranging all export documentation
- Engaging and collaborating with customs
- Organising the accuracy of all paperwork related to overseas transportation management
Administrative Tasks:
- Taking care of any paperwork related to exports and deliveries
Key requirements include:
- Fluency in Greek and English, both spoken and written (a third major European language would be an advantage)
- At least 5 years of experience exporting fresh goods globally - we’ll need you to work with limited supervision so the role is mid-senior level
- Familiarity of export documentation
- Fresh produce experience (cold chain)
- Strong business acumen
- Familiarity with transport regulations
- A background or degree in Engineering would be hugely advantageous
What we can offer:
- Fixed salary
- Equity in the business
- Restaurant ticket vouchers
- Private Medical Insurance for both you and your family
- A choice of in-office, hybrid, or remote working (from within Greece)
As a digital platform, we are looking for people who are tech savvy and willing to learn new technologies. We are an early stage start-up so need people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and get stuck into tasks and projects outside of the day-to-day remit which could include working with our Product (platform) and Quality teams.
