European Supply Chain Placement – Import & Export

We have an exciting opportunity for a paid internship within our European Supply Chain team, where you will be able to gain valuable work experience in a global FMCG company. You will be part of a growing team with a wide remit across end to end supply chain, from management of inbound materials to outbound supply.

The Opportunity

Are you a student or recent graduate with a passion for international trade, logistics, or business operations? Ready to kickstart your career in a global company navigating complex trade environments? We’re offering a 12-month internship in our Import & Export Trade Compliance Department, where you’ll gain hands-on experience in global trade operations, regulatory compliance, and cross-functional collaboration, based in Folkestone, Kent on a 12-month contract commencing in Summer 2026. This is a great location on the Kent coast, with easy access to both London and the Channel Tunnel; we even have sea views from our logistics main office!

The role will combine a range of exciting projects, for example:

• Support Import/Export documentation and record-keeping to ensure accuracy and compliance.
• Assist with audits, compliance checks, and monitoring of regulatory updates.
• Help prepare reports and audit materials for internal and external stakeholders.
• Participate in process improvement initiatives and cross-departmental projects.
• Track shipments and manage routine administrative tasks like data entry and filing.

You will have the opportunity to spend blocks of the internship year with different part of the Logistics function, so gain a deeper knowledge of each specific area. You will become proficient in SAP logistics transactions.

Our ideal candidate will be articulate and commercially aware, have an enquiring mind and be able to work on their own initiative.
