Trade Compliance Analyst II

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Trade & Compliance Specialist processes Move Order Requests (MORs) raised from the client's and third-party warehouses across multiple locations and ensures that every shipment's commercial and trade documentation is in place and compliant with shipping practice. The role carries the deep trade-compliance expertise behind the operation — managing customs clearance, ATA Carnets, dangerous goods, brokerage performance and emerging-markets shipping research — on a 24x5 hybrid model that combines onsite presence with remote processing.
