Central Parramatta | Walking Distance to Train & Bus Interchange

Are you currently working in meat, protein, chilled, frozen or perishable exports and ready to take ownership of the entire export process?
We're partnering with a growing Australian-owned international trading and export business that supplies food and grocery products across global markets. As the business continues to expand, they are looking to add two experienced Export Logistics & Documentation Specialists to their high-performing team.
This is an opportunity to join a business where your role extends well beyond documentation. You'll play a key part in coordinating international shipments, managing supplier relationships, solving logistics challenges, and ensuring products move seamlessly from origin through to delivery.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Growing international business with genuine career progression opportunities
  • End-to-end ownership of export operations
  • Exposure to global food and protein supply chains
  • Fast-paced, varied environment where no two days are the same
  • Central Parramatta location with easy access to train, bus and light rail
  • Supportive team that values initiative and accountability
  • $90,000 - $95,000 + Super
The Role
Working closely with suppliers, customers, freight providers and internal stakeholders, you'll manage international shipments from order creation through to final delivery.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Coordinating end-to-end export shipments across air freight, sea freight, LCL and consolidation movements
  • Preparing and managing export documentation including:
    • Commercial Invoices
    • Packing Lists
    • Health Certificates
    • Certificates of Origin
    • Bills of Lading
  • Managing purchase orders and sales orders
  • Liaising with suppliers, freight forwarders, shipping lines and 3PL providers
  • Monitoring shipment schedules, inventory availability and customer commitments
  • Resolving operational issues, delays and supply chain challenges
  • Reviewing supplier and freight invoices
  • Maintaining reporting and shipment visibility across the supply chain
About You
We're particularly interested in candidates who have worked within:
  • Meat and protein exports
  • Frozen food exports
  • Chilled and perishable products
  • Seafood exports
  • Food manufacturing or food trading businesses
  • Temperature-controlled supply chains
You'll also bring:
  • Experience managing international export shipments end-to-end
  • Strong export documentation knowledge
  • Excellent stakeholder management and customer service skills
  • Strong attention to detail and problem-solving ability
  • A proactive, hands-on approach in a fast-moving environment
Meat industry experience is highly prized and will be viewed very favourably.
Candidates from frozen, chilled, seafood and broader perishable export environments are also strongly encouraged to apply.
Please Note :  This is not a pure freight forwarding role.
Whilst freight forwarding experience is certainly welcomed as part of your career background, we're looking for professionals who have worked across the broader export and supply chain function, including documentation, customer service, supplier coordination, inventory management and operational logistics.
 
If you've built your career in meat, protein, frozen or perishable exports and want to join a growing business where you can genuinely own the export process, we'd love to hear from you.
