What You’ll Do
The Transportation & Trade Compliance Coordinator keeps inbound and outbound freight moving, from contract manufacturer pickup to confirmed delivery and goods receipt in SAP. Most of the role is transportation: scheduling and routing shipments, managing carrier costs and keeping every movement recorded accurately. The role also supports Customs with classification, documentation and compliance work, and reports to the Director, Transportation & Customs Compliance.
What You’ll Be Working On
Transportation (primary focus)
- Coordinate inbound freight from contract manufacturers (CMs): confirm ready dates, pallet counts and shipping documents, then schedule pickups.
- Plan and book outbound shipments against due dates, working with the warehouse on ship-ready status and pickup appointments.
- Pull freight estimates and quotes from carriers, comparing cost and transit time to pick the best option for each shipment.
- Negotiate rates with carriers on spot and recurring lanes, and bring recommendations to the Director.
- Schedule and route shipments across parcel, LTL and FTL; re-book quickly when a carrier rejects, misses or delays a load.
- Create and update shipments in SAP, post Goods Receipts and Goods Issues, and keep delivery dates current.
- Resolve quantity, PO and SAP discrepancies with CMs, the warehouse and Planning; escalate system issues to the right owner.
- Track shipments to delivery, keep the Transportation Tracker current (ETD, ETA, actual delivery) and flag delays early.
- Collect signed BOLs, proof of delivery and shipping documents, and hand complete cross-border paperwork to Customs.
- Check carrier invoices and accessorial charges, flag discrepancies and file freight claims for loss or damage.
Customs and trade compliance (supporting)
- Classify products and maintain the master classification file for new SKUs and duty rates, working with Merchandising on product launches.
- Prepare commercial invoices and proformas not supported by SAP, and manage broker clearance requests through the Customs inbox.
- Support country-of-origin certifications, free trade agreement documentation, drawback submissions and monthly duty forecasting.
- Perform internal entry audits and keep classification rationale on file, escalating technical decisions to the Customs lead.

- Hands-on SAP experience, including deliveries and Goods Issue / Goods Receipt postings, or the equivalent in another ERP.

- Working knowledge of freight documents: bill of lading, proof of delivery, packing list, commercial invoice.
- Strong Excel skills: filters, lookups, pivot tables and keeping trackers clean.
- Comfort working across two functions and shifting priorities between Transportation and Customs as volume requires.
- Clear, professional written and phone communication with outside partners.
Preferred
- Experience working with contract manufacturers or third-party suppliers on inbound freight.
