• Checking invoices against services provided and ensuring information is accurate
• Working with and analysing large sets of freight and shipping data

• Providing general administrative support to the wider Shipping team
• Liaising with colleagues to investigate and resolve queries
• Supporting continuous improvement and looking for ways to improve existing processes

• Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including experience with functions such as PivotTables and VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP
• Experience managing and analysing large volumes of data
• Experience with invoices, reconciliation or financial/administrative data
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
• The ability to interpret information and spot discrepancies
• Good organisational and administrative skills
