1What this role really is

This role is all about keeping our international shipments moving smoothly. You'll be the person who makes sure goods get from A to B across borders, dealing with all the bits in between like customs, carriers, and paperwork. It's a hands-on role where you're really in the thick of things, making sure our products reach customers on time, no matter where they are in the world. Think of yourself as the air traffic controller for our global cargo.

2What you'd actually use

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

SAP S/4HANA EWM (ERP/WMS)Intermediate

Executing transactions like goods receipt, picking, and packing. Running standard inventory and shipment reports. Identifying basic data discrepancies in the system.

E2open (TMS)Intermediate

Tracking shipments, generating shipping documents (BOLs, packing lists), and entering carrier rates for spot quotes. You'll know your way around the core functions.

Descartes (GTM Platform)Basic

Using the system to look up HS codes, generate basic customs declarations, and track filing status. You'll be comfortable navigating it with some guidance.

Microsoft Power BI (Analytics & BI)Intermediate

Consuming pre-built dashboards, using filters to analyse carrier performance and costs. You can export data to Excel for simple analysis if needed.

Microsoft Teams (Collaboration)Expert

Managing channels for specific shipping lanes or projects, using Planner for task tracking, and sharing documents and status updates effectively with your team and other departments.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Carrier Selection (for standard lanes)Follows pre-defined carrier selection rules; escalates any deviations to supervisor.Chooses from approved carrier list based on cost/service criteria; can request spot quotes within budget; escalates new carrier requests.Negotiates rates with carriers for specific lanes; can approve new carrier onboarding within budget; defines carrier performance metrics.
Shipment Re-routing (due to disruption)Identifies disruption, gathers information, and presents options to supervisor for decision.Evaluates options (e.g., air vs. ocean, alternative port) and proposes a recommended solution to manager, with cost/time impact. Can execute minor re-routes within a £500 cost increase.Makes autonomous decisions on re-routing for significant disruptions, balancing cost, service, and customer impact. Informs leadership of actions taken and revised ETAs.
Customs Issue ResolutionCommunicates customs hold reason to supervisor and provides requested documentation.Works directly with customs brokers to resolve routine holds (e.g., missing document, classification query), escalating complex legal/financial issues to manager.Develops and implements internal processes to reduce customs holds. Can authorise minor duty adjustments or re-classifications after consulting with trade compliance.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Documentation Accuracy
Ensuring all shipping documents (commercial invoices, packing lists, Bills of Lading, customs declarations) are correct and complete.
Target · >99.5% accuracy rate

If you handle 200 documents in a month, we'd expect no more than one error. An error might be a wrong HS code or an incorrect weight.

On-Time ISF Filing (US-bound cargo)
Making sure the Importer Security Filing (ISF) for US ocean cargo is submitted at least 24 hours before the vessel is laden.
Target · 100% on-time filing

If a vessel is scheduled to load on Thursday, your ISF needs to be filed by Wednesday morning at the latest. Missing this means fines, frankly.

Shipment Tracking Update Frequency
Keeping our internal tracking systems updated with the latest status for all active international shipments.
Target · All shipments updated daily (or as new information becomes available)

If a container clears customs, you'll update the system within a few hours. This helps Sales and Customer Service give accurate ETAs.

Freight Cost Variance (per shipment)
The difference between the estimated freight cost and the actual invoiced cost for individual shipments.
Target · <5% variance on standard lanes

If a shipment was budgeted at £1,000 for freight, we'd expect the actual invoice to be between £950 and £1,050. Anything more needs a good reason.

Proactive Issue Resolution
How well you anticipate and resolve potential shipment delays or problems before they become critical.
  • You're telling your manager about a potential port delay and your proposed solution *before* Sales starts asking where the shipment is. You've got contingency plans ready. You're not just reacting, you're getting ahead of things.
Carrier/3PL Relationship Management
The quality of your working relationships with our freight forwarders and third-party logistics providers.
  • Carriers are responsive to your requests, you can negotiate minor issues effectively, and they see you as a reliable partner. They'll go the extra mile for you when things get tight because you've built that rapport.
Internal Communication Clarity
How clearly and concisely you communicate shipment statuses, delays, and resolutions to internal teams.
  • Sales and Customer Service always know what's going on with their orders. Your emails are easy to understand, even for non-logistics people. You explain complex customs issues in plain English, not jargon.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Complex Puzzles

You get a real kick out of figuring out how to get a tricky shipment through customs or finding an alternative route when a port is closed. It's like a daily game of chess with real-world consequences.

A container is stuck in Rotterdam due to paperwork issues. You'll dive into the details, work with the broker, and find the specific missing document or clarification needed to get it moving again. That's your kind of win.

Making a Tangible Impact

You like seeing the direct result of your work – products arriving on time, happy customers, and knowing you've saved the company money by avoiding penalties. Your efforts directly contribute to the bottom line.

You negotiate a better rate with a carrier for a key lane, saving £500 per shipment. Or you prevent a £10,000 customs fine by catching an error on a declaration. You can point to those successes.

Operating in a Global Environment

You enjoy the challenge of working with people, systems, and regulations from different countries and time zones. The international aspect of the role is a major draw for you.

Your morning might involve a call with a freight forwarder in Singapore, your afternoon a customs broker in Germany, and your evening checking tracking for a vessel in the Suez Canal. It's never boring.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Black Hole' of a shipment losing all visibility between ports, leaving you with no answers for anxious colleagues.
  • The 'Sales Override' where a salesperson promises an impossible delivery date, forcing you to spend a fortune on last-minute air freight.
  • Trying to explain to other departments that 'Free Shipping' isn't actually free, or that international transit times aren't instantly negotiable.
  • Dealing with inaccurate or incomplete master data in our systems, which makes everything else harder.
What this role does not give you
  • A predictable, 9-to-5 routine with no urgent disruptions.
  • Complete control over all external factors affecting your shipments.
  • A role where every single task you start gets completed exactly as planned without changes or interruptions.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment; you'll be talking to a lot of people.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our ability to meet international customer commitments and manage our global freight spend. Get it right, and we keep our promises and protect our margins. Get it wrong, and we face service failures and unexpected costs that eat into profits. You're essentially the gatekeeper for our international supply chain's efficiency and reliability.

Inside the business
  • Sales Operations (for order fulfilment)
  • Procurement (for inbound freight)
  • Finance (for freight invoicing and cost tracking)
  • Warehouse Operations (for outbound shipments)
  • Product Teams (for new product launches)
Outside the business
  • Freight Forwarders and Carriers
  • Customs Brokers
  • 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) Providers
  • Port Authorities

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of hands-on experience in international logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain operations.
  • Demonstrable experience managing the full lifecycle of international shipments (ocean, air, or road freight).
  • A solid grasp of Incoterms® 2020 and their practical application.
  • Experience working with an ERP system (like SAP) and a TMS (like E2open) for logistics operations.
  • Proven ability to identify and resolve operational issues independently, without constant supervision.
  • Strong organisational skills and an ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.

8What to practise next

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

Advanced Data Analysis in Power BI

Moving beyond just consuming dashboards, you'll need to start building your own simple reports and digging deeper into the data. This helps you identify trends, spot inefficiencies, and make data-backed recommendations.

Connecting to different data sources (e.g., ERP, T · Creating basic data models and relationships. · Building simple interactive dashboards for your sp · Using DAX (Data Analysis Expressions) for custom c · Presenting data visually to tell a clear story.

  • This month: Take an online tutorial on Power BI data modelling and dashboard creation.
  • Next quarter: Work with a senior analyst to build one small, custom dashboard for your assigned shipping lanes.
  • Month 3-6: Practice pulling data from SAP and E2open into Power BI to analyse carrier performance or customs clearance times.
  • Month 6-12: Present your custom dashboard and insights to your manager, showing how it helps identify issues or opportunities.

Quick win: Try to recreate one of your existing Excel reports in Power BI. Even if it's basic, it's a great way to learn the interface and data handling.

Enhanced GTM Platform (Descartes) Proficiency

As trade regulations become more complex, you'll need to use our Global Trade Management platform more effectively to ensure compliance and optimise duties. It's not just for looking up HS codes anymore.

Managing product classification databases and ensu · Understanding how to resolve more complex customs · Using the platform for denied party screening and · Exploring the system's capabilities for duty optim · Understanding the integration points between Desca

  • This month: Spend an hour each week exploring advanced features in Descartes, beyond your daily tasks.
  • Next quarter: Ask our Trade Compliance team for a deeper dive into how they use Descartes for complex filings.
  • Month 3-6: Take an internal training module (if available) or an online course on advanced GTM platform usage.
  • Month 6-12: Propose one way we could use Descartes more effectively to reduce customs delays or save on duties for your shipments.

Quick win: Volunteer to help a colleague with a Descartes-related query, even if it's slightly outside your usual scope. It's a great way to learn by doing.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending industry webinars and conferences on global trade, customs, and supply chain trends.
  • Participating in internal training programmes on our ERP (SAP) and TMS (E2open) systems to deepen your technical knowledge.
  • Joining professional networks like CILT to connect with peers and stay updated on best practices.
  • Taking online courses on specific topics like Incoterms® 2020 updates or regional customs regulations (e.g., Brexit implications).

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how International Distribution Director is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, international distribution involves a mountain of paperwork and a lot of reactive firefighting. But what if you could offload some of that grunt work and focus on the strategic stuff? AI isn't just for tech gurus; it's here to make your daily logistics life a whole lot easier.

We're investing in AI tools to help our Operations team work smarter, not harder. For an International Distribution Director, this means less time buried in spreadsheets or chasing documents, and more time actually solving problems and improving our service. Think of it as having a really smart assistant who never sleeps.

Automated Document Auditing

AI tools will automatically scan commercial invoices, packing lists, and Bills of Lading, cross-referencing them against purchase orders to flag discrepancies in quantities, pricing, or HS codes *before* they're submitted to customs. No more manual comparisons, fewer errors, and significantly fewer fines.

Predictive Disruption Analysis

Imagine AI analysing real-time data on weather patterns, port congestion, labour strikes, and geopolitical events to predict potential delays for your shipments. It can proactively suggest alternative routes or modes of transport to mitigate the impact, giving you a head start on problem-solving instead of reacting last minute.

Landed Cost & Tariff Simulation

Use AI to instantly model the total landed cost for sourcing a product from multiple potential countries, factoring in fluctuating tariffs, freight rates, and duties. This accelerates strategic sourcing decisions and helps you quickly compare 'what if' scenarios without building complex spreadsheets from scratch.

Proactive Stakeholder Comms Drafting

When a delay is detected, AI can draft an initial communication for internal stakeholders. It summarises the issue, lists the affected orders, provides an initial ETA adjustment, and outlines the next steps you're taking. This saves you precious time crafting emails when you're already busy problem-solving.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows an International Distribution Director, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming an International Distribution Director: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll gain here are highly transferable across various industries that rely on international movement of goods, such as retail, manufacturing, e-commerce, and pharmaceuticals. You could move into a logistics role at a major brand, a freight forwarder, or even a consulting firm specialising in supply chain.
