• Prepare and distribute daily operational reports and customer updates.

• Review, validate, and verify documentation to ensure completeness and accuracy.

• Proactively identify discrepancies, resolve documentation issues, and escalate risks when required.

• Stay up to date with regulatory changes, customs requirements, and industry best practices.

• Support customer experience by ensuring proactive communication, transparency, and reliability in service delivery.

• Experience with documentation and customs systems (ASYCUDA/ ASYHUB experience is an advantage — training will be provided).

• Strong organizational and multitasking skills with high attention to detail.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder coordination skills.

• Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to perform under operational pressure.

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively within a team environment.

This role may occasionally require operational follow-ups outside standard working hours, including weekends or holidays, depending on vessel schedules and shipment timelines.
