@leannemcdonald
Experienced Import/Export Documentation Specialist with 15+ years in logistics.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Import/Export Documentation Specialist with over 15 years of experience in high-stakes logistics across Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. My expertise lies in managing complex freight-forwarding operations, particularly in high-value sectors such as jewelry, gemstones, and oil/gas. I specialize in streamlined documentation processing, customs compliance, and shipment tracking, ensuring seamless cross-border transactions.
Throughout my career, I have successfully managed multimillion-dollar shipments, ensuring compliance with international security protocols and customs declarations. My role as a Logistics Documentation Coordinator at Michael Hill Jewellers involved overseeing high-value assets, while my previous positions have honed my skills in customer service and documentation accuracy. I am now seeking a remote role to assist with backlogged paperwork, leveraging my deep industry expertise and time zone compatibility to provide efficient support at a significantly lower hourly rate than local hires.
