We are a versatile team that thrives on ownership and trust, and we are here to do the best work of our careers, together. About the Role This seat gets the product from the supplier to the customer and gets the paperwork right at every step. It cuts the purchase order, books the container, clears customs, manages the warehouse relationship, enters the order, invoices the customer, and answers the phone on the first ring. It is the execution engine of the international supply chain and the operational face of the company to our customers. This role reports to the VP of Finance. Core Accountabilities 1. Purchasing and container execution. Cut the purchase order with the supplier from the demand plan, set up new items, book container shipments, and keep suppliers current on order status, availability, pricing, and new products. 2. Inbound logistics and customs. Monitor containers end to end so paperwork is sent and containers are picked up promptly, avoiding port and demurrage fees. Approve duty documents, review shipping and customs documentation for accuracy, and track arrivals, clearance, and bond releases with the broker. 3. Landed cost and margin. On arrival, assemble the customs invoice, ocean invoice, warehouse receipt, and trucking invoice, calculate landed cost, and load additional costs into ERP so margin is accurate. 4. Inventory and warehouse. Own the relationship with our public warehouse partner, run month-end reconciliation against ERP, lead the annual physical count, publish the weekly inventory report, and manage slow-moving and obsolete inventory through discount, write-off, or disposal. 5. Order processing and invoicing. Enter and invoice customer orders across open, control, and Armed Forces channels, handle bailment processing and documentation, manage direct import shipments, approve warehouse, ocean freight, and drayage invoices, and pursue carrier claims for damaged or lost goods. 6. Customer service. Handle inquiries and complaints, troubleshoot product and order issues, maintain customer records and product knowledge, and own outbound shipping and shipping-issue resolution. 7.

Supply CBMA and state beverage tax gallonage data to Compliance on schedule and accurately, negotiate freight rates and warehouse contract pricing, and drive logistics KPIs on delivery times, service levels, and cost.
