Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In this trade compliance role, I managed financial reporting, tracked spend and project savings, and maintained duty management systems. I collaborated with Customs brokers and suppliers, supported cross-business unit projects, ensured data integrity, developed supply chain KPI reporting, and analysed KPIs to identify improvement areas and action plans.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was responsible for handling site queries and providing clearance instructions to our customs broker. Additionally, I managed the quarterly team audits for our imports and exports. I also completed forms for HMRC to ensure the correction of duty overpayments/underpayments.
