  • Investigate and resolve discrepancies between invoices and agreed rates or contracts, escalating

  items.
  Document Management & Filing
  • Collect, organise, and file all transport-related documentation, including invoices, proof of

  • Support the team during audits or compliance reviews by retrieving and compiling required
  records.
  Shipment Status Updates
  • Monitor active shipments and update shipment statuses in the relevant tracking systems (TMS,
  Jira, or equivalent) based on information received from carriers and the transport team.
  • Flag delays, exceptions, or missing updates to the responsible Transport Specialist or Manager.
  • Ensure shipment records are complete and accurate from booking through to final delivery
  confirmation.
  • Coordinate with carriers and vendors to obtain status updates or missing documentation where
  needed.
  Administrative Support to the Transport Team
  • Provide general administrative support to the transport team, including preparation of reports,
  data entry, and correspondence with external partners.
  • Assist in maintaining vendor contact lists, rate cards, and contract reference documents.
  • Support the onboarding of new carriers or vendors by collecting required documentation and

  • Hands-on experience processing invoices and managing payment workflows, ideally using ZIP or
  a similar accounts payable or procurement platform.
  • Familiarity with transport management systems (TMS), Jira, or similar tools used for shipment
  tracking and documentation.
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — able to manage multiple open items
  simultaneously without losing track.
  • Proactive follow-up skills; comfortable chasing approvers, vendors, and carriers to keep
  processes on schedule.
  • Good understanding of transport and freight documentation (invoices, PODs, customs
  paperwork, etc.).
