This is a hands-on coordination role at the heart of the operation. You'll keep inbound and outbound freight moving, manage carrier relationships, and make sure client orders leave on time and arrive in full. You'll work closely with the warehouse team, account managers and clients, so you'll need to be organised, proactive and comfortable juggling priorities in a fast-paced fulfilment environment.

• Tracking shipments, proactively managing delays, exceptions and failed deliveries, and keeping clients and internal teams updated
• Liaising with the warehouse team on goods-in, picking and despatch priorities, and with account managers on client requirements
• Preparing and checking shipping documentation, including paperwork for international and bonded movements where required
• Maintaining accurate records on the WMS/TMS and Excel, and reporting on carrier performance, transport costs and KPIs
• Reconciling carrier invoices and resolving queries and claims
• Identifying opportunities to improve service, efficiency and cost across the carrier network

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in a transport, logistics, shipping or fulfilment coordination role, ideally within a 3PL, e-commerce or distribution environment
• Experience working with parcel carriers, couriers and/or pallet networks
• Confident with Excel and comfortable picking up WMS/TMS and carrier booking systems
• Strong communication skills, with the confidence to deal with clients, carriers and colleagues at all levels
• Highly organised, able to prioritise a varied workload and stay calm under pressure
• A proactive, problem-solving approach and real attention to detail

Advantageous:

• Experience with international shipping, customs documentation or bonded warehousing
• Background in fulfilment for consumer, beauty or health brands

Why apply:

• £30,000 - £35,000 depending on experience
• Join a growing, award-winning business with ambitious UK plans
• Varied, client-facing role with genuine scope to shape and improve how transport runs
• Close-knit, supportive team environment
