- Calculate landed costs, including FOB pricing, foreign exchange and applicable duties, and maintain accurate supplier costs in the ERP system.
- Monitor container performance, shipment lead times and delivery schedules, communicating potential delays to purchasing and branch teams.
- Coordinate with procurement and inventory teams on replenishment and reorder timing across multiple branches.
- 2+ years of experience in import coordination, international logistics or supply chain operations.
- Working knowledge of Incoterms, ocean freight and Canadian customs procedures.
