You will join a highly specialized team at an exciting moment.

This creates a unique opportunity to influence processes, support strategic decisions, and become a trusted advisor across business units, supply chain teams and external authorities.

• Monitoring and improving trade compliance processes and controls
• Overseeing external customs brokers and service providers
• Identifying compliance risks and coordinating mitigation measures
• Translating regulatory changes into practical business guidance
• Supporting internal audits and governance activities
• Driving continuous improvement initiatives across the trade compliance landscape

This fits you
