· Ensure shipment data and supporting records are accurate, complete, controlled and retained in accordance with company and regulatory requirements.
· Work with customs brokers, carriers, internal subject-matter experts and other partners to resolve entry discrepancies, shipment holds and compliance risks promptly.

Daily Leadership and Workforce Management

Cross Functional Coordination
· Coordinate closely with Sales, Parts Sales, Operations and Planning to align shipment dates, production readiness, documentation and customer priorities.
· Provide clear and timely updates on shipment status, delays, risks, resource constraints and recovery actions.
· Resolve cross-functional issues before they affect customers, production schedules or regulatory compliance.
Receiving Warehouse and Inventory Control
· Ensure receiving, put-away and material movement activities are completed safely, accurately and on time.
· Maintain standards for warehouse organization, 5S, safe storage, space utilization, material identification and location accuracy.
· Ensure discrepancies, returns, transfers, negative inventory, picking errors and recurring inventory variances are investigated and resolved.
· Oversee cycle counts, physical inventory and warehouse audits, ensuring corrective actions are completed.
Continuous Improvement and Performance
· Maintain practical KPIs and daily or weekly controls for on-time shipping, backlogs, productivity, accuracy, freight performance and customs compliance.
· Use data, floor observation and root-cause analysis to eliminate recurring issues and sustain corrective actions.
· Lead improvements to layout, workflow, systems, material flow, labour utilization and business-continuity plans.
Qualifications
· Bachelor's degree in supply chain, logistics, business, operations or a related field preferred; an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience will be considered.
· Minimum 7 years of progressive leadership experience in logistics, shipping, warehouse operations or customs compliance, including responsibility for workforce and capacity management.
· Strong working knowledge of Canadian and U.S. import and export requirements, tariff classification, country of origin, valuation, Incoterms and USMCA/CUSMA documentation.
