• Support accurate shipment documentation and escalation of issues involving dangerous goods, dry ice, temperature-controlled products, electronic trade documents and customs requirements, in partnership with trained process owners.

• Help maintain clear operational trackers, exception logs and action lists without introducing unnecessary manual work.

Systems, Data Quality and Continuous Improvement

• Use Microsoft Dynamics 365 or other ERP systems, Power BI, Excel and related reporting tools to extract, reconcile and analyse supply chain data.
