    • Prepare and manage all shipping documentation, including Bills of Lading, commercial invoices, packing lists, and customs paperwork.
    • Oversee inbound and outbound shipment planning to meet delivery timelines and service-level targets.
    • Review and reconcile freight invoices, resolving discrepancies to ensure accurate billing.
    • Build and maintain a freight matrix capturing carrier profiles, rates, and service data to support data-driven logistics decisions.
    • Collaborate with freight forwarders, customs brokers, and 3PL partners to maintain efficient, compliant operations.
    • Monitor freight market trends and recommend cost-effective transportation strategies.

    What we are looking for

    • Minimum 5–7 years of experience in freight management, international logistics, or supply chain operations.
    • Proven expertise in freight negotiation and carrier relationship management.
    • Strong knowledge of customs regulations, CBSA/CBP compliance, and documentation requirements.
    • Experience coordinating with 3PL partners and managing inventory flow.
    • Skilled in ERP systems and advanced Microsoft Excel (SAP preferred).
    • Excellent communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
    • A proactive, analytical thinker with a commitment to precision and continuous improvement.
    • Bonus: Experience in food packaging, consumer goods, or commodities.

    Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.

    Opportunity to lead a key function in a growing, purpose-driven company.

    Make a measurable impact on a global supply chain with sustainable outcomes.

    Collaborate with a dynamic, entrepreneurial team focused on innovation and excellence.
