3What this role really is

This role sets the rules for how goods move across borders, legally and without wasted cost. You manage the team handling day-to-day import and export work, and keep operations clear of trouble with customs authorities worldwide. Getting it right saves money. Getting it wrong costs dearly.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Descartes Visual Compliance / WCO Trade Tools / Thomson Reuters ONESOURCE (Compliance & Research) Strategic

You'll set policy on compliance tool usage, manage enterprise licenses, and ensure our tech stack effectively mitigates regulatory risk across all jurisdictions. You'll use these for complex research and audit defence.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Duty & Tariff Optimisation

Total annual savings achieved through strategic duty drawback programmes, effective tariff engineering, and smart Free Trade Agreement (FTA) utilisation.

Target · Achieve £2M+ in annual savings.

In Q1, you might identify a new FTA that saves us £500K on components from Vietnam, or implement a duty drawback process that recovers £700K on re-exported goods.

Compliance & Penalties

The total value of fines, penalties, or liquidated damages incurred from customs or other government agencies due to trade compliance breaches.

Target · Maintain £0 in fines from customs or other government agencies.

No fines from HMRC for incorrect declarations, no penalties from the US CBP for ISF violations. This means your policies and team are working perfectly.

Supply Chain Resiliency

The percentage reduction in our reliance on single-source countries or ports that pose significant geopolitical or logistical risks.

Target · Reduce sole-source country/port risk by 20% through network diversification.

If 30% of a critical component currently comes from a single port with high strike risk, you'd work to diversify that to 10% or less, perhaps by finding alternative suppliers or shipping routes.

Landed Cost Accuracy

Ensuring our initial estimates for the total cost of bringing a product to market (purchase price, freight, duties, insurance) are very close to the actual final costs.

Target · Ensure initial landed cost estimates are within 3% of final, audited costs.

If we estimate a new gadget's landed cost at £10, you'd ensure the actual cost, after all duties and freight, comes in between £9.70 and £10.30.

Policy Effectiveness & Adoption

How clear, practical, and consistently followed our global trade compliance policies and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are across the organisation.

Policies are regularly updated, easily accessible, and understood by relevant teams (e.g., Procurement, Sales, Operations). Internal audit findings show high adherence. Other departments proactively consult your team before making trade-impacting decisions. Feedback from your team confirms policies are practical, not just theoretical.

Team Development & Retention

The growth, engagement, and stability of your direct team. Are they learning? Are they happy? Are they sticking around?

Your team members are meeting their individual development goals. You're seeing internal promotions or increased responsibilities. Team engagement scores are strong in internal surveys. Voluntary turnover within your team is below the company average. You're regularly mentoring and coaching your direct reports, helping them tackle tough problems.

Proactive Risk Mitigation

Your ability to foresee potential trade risks (e.g., new regulations, geopolitical events, supply chain disruptions) and put plans in place to lessen their impact *before* they hit.

You're regularly presenting risk assessments and mitigation strategies to senior leadership. Contingency plans for major trade lanes or suppliers are documented and tested. We aren't caught off guard by major regulatory changes or port closures. You're often the first to flag emerging issues and suggest solutions.

Strategic Partner Management

The quality of our relationships and the performance we get from key external partners like customs brokers and freight forwarders.

Key partners consistently meet or exceed their service level agreements (SLAs). You've established clear KPIs and regular review cycles. You're able to negotiate favourable terms and rates due to strong relationships. Partners view us as a 'customer of choice' and bring us new ideas or solutions.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Solving Complex, High-Stakes Problems

You'll be tackling tricky customs classifications, navigating new sanctions regimes, or untangling multi-party logistics disputes. Every day brings a new puzzle, often with significant financial or operational implications if you get it wrong.

Figuring out how to legally import a new product line with dual-use components into a sensitive market, ensuring all export controls are met while minimising duties.

Protecting the Company & Driving Tangible Savings

A big part of your job is acting as the company's shield against regulatory fines and unnecessary costs. You'll get a real buzz from identifying a new duty saving opportunity or successfully defending a customs audit, knowing you've saved us a significant sum.

Implementing a new duty drawback programme that recovers £750K annually, or successfully challenging a customs ruling that would have cost us millions.

Building and Mentoring a Strong Team

You'll be leading, coaching, and developing your team of specialists and managers. Seeing them grow, take on more responsibility, and excel under your guidance will be a significant source of satisfaction.

Helping a junior manager successfully lead their first internal audit, or mentoring a specialist to become the go-to expert for a complex region.

What frustrates people

The 'Where's my stuff?' Fire Drill: Constantly being treated like a human tracking number by Sales, Marketing, and Manufacturing, who just don't grasp the complexities of global transit times. It's exhausting.
Chasing Paperwork: You'll spend an infuriating amount of time begging the engineering team for product specs to determine an HS code, or hounding a supplier for a commercial invoice that was due three days ago. You are 100% dependent on others for the documents you are 100% responsible for.
The Black Box of Freight Rates: Trying to explain to Finance why a container from Shanghai to LA cost £3,000 last month and £12,000 this month. You're at the mercy of market volatility that you cannot control but must explain.
The Last-Minute Change: A salesperson changes an order from sea freight to air freight on a Friday afternoon, expecting you to perform miracles to get it on a weekend flight without understanding the cost or documentation implications. It happens more often than you'd think.
Inheriting Past Sins: Discovering during a customs audit that your predecessor misclassified a key product for five years, exposing the company to millions in back-duties and penalties. Yes, it's a real thing.
The Scapegoat Syndrome: When a production line shuts down due to a delayed component, everyone looks at you, even if the delay was caused by a typhoon, a port strike, or a supplier who shipped late. You're often the first point of blame, regardless of cause.

What this role does not give you

A predictable 9-to-5 schedule; urgent issues don't respect time zones.
A quiet, solitary work environment; you're constantly interacting with people.
The ability to control every variable; global trade is full of external factors.
A role where you only deal with 'clean' data; expect to spend time cleaning up messes.

8Who you work with

This role directly influences our global operational efficiency, financial performance (through duty optimisation and penalty avoidance), and our legal standing in international markets. It's about enabling global business growth while managing complex risks. Get it right, and we expand into new markets faster and cheaper. Get it wrong, and we face significant financial and reputational damage, potentially halting global shipments.

Strong commercial acumen, with a track record of managing budgets and negotiating with external vendors (brokers, forwarders).

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

ESG Compliance & Sustainable Sourcing Integration

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are no longer optional; they're becoming critical for brand reputation, investor relations, and increasingly, regulatory compliance. You'll need to ensure our trade practices align with our sustainability goals and new due diligence laws.

Month 18: Develop metrics to track and report on the ESG impact of our global trade operations.

Quick win: Read our latest sustainability report. Understand which of our products have the highest carbon footprint from logistics. Start asking suppliers about their environmental policies.

Geopolitical Risk Modelling & Scenario Planning

The global trade landscape is more volatile than ever. Tariffs, sanctions, trade wars, and regional conflicts can erupt with little notice. You'll need to move beyond reacting to events and start proactively modelling potential impacts and developing robust 'what if' scenarios.

Understanding different geopolitical risk indicato · Developing scenario trees for various geopolitical · Quantifying the financial and operational impact o · Building flexible supply chain networks that can a · Leveraging intelligence from external geopolitical

This quarter: Identify our top 3-5 geopolitical trade risks and their potential impact.
Next 6 months: Work with Finance and Supply Chain to develop a basic scenario planning framework.
Next 12 months: Engage with external experts or subscribe to geopolitical intelligence services.
Month 18: Present a comprehensive geopolitical risk assessment and mitigation plan to senior leadership.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're busy. As a Senior Manager in Global Trade, you're juggling a lot: regulations, team management, cost pressures, and constant fire drills. What if you could get back a significant chunk of your week?

AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical tool that can seriously cut down on the repetitive, time-consuming parts of your job. Imagine less time sifting through documents or drafting routine emails, and more time for strategic thinking and team development. We're investing in AI to help you do just that, freeing you up for the high-impact work only you can do.

Automated HS Classification

Use an AI tool, trained on our product catalogue and past customs rulings, to suggest and validate HS codes for new products. It'll flag ambiguous items for your expert review, but for most, it's instant. This means your team spends less time in dense classification guides and more time on complex cases.

Predictive Disruption Alerts

Leverage AI that analyses real-time weather patterns, port labour sentiment, and geopolitical data to predict potential port congestion or closures 2-3 weeks in advance. This isn't just a weather report; it's a heads-up that lets you proactively reroute shipments, saving weeks of reactive fire-fighting and potentially millions in costs.

Regulatory Change Summariser

Deploy an AI agent to continuously monitor customs agency websites and trade publications globally. It provides you and your team with a daily or weekly digest of proposed rule changes that specifically impact our trade lanes and products. No more sifting through hundreds of pages of legalese; just the critical updates you need to act on.

Smart Communication Drafter

Use AI to generate standardised, multi-lingual emails for common scenarios. Think requesting missing documents from suppliers, providing shipping instructions to forwarders, or giving routine status updates to internal stakeholders. This ensures consistent, accurate communication and saves your team hours of repetitive typing.
