• Coordinate pre-shipment inspections to ensure products meet quality standards, regulatory requirements, and customer specifications
• Handle all aspects of Letters of Credit, including documentation, compliance, and negotiation with international partners
• Maintain clear and timely communication with internal teams in Sales, Order Management, Order Fulfilment, Operations, PLM, and Supply Chain
• Support the integration of newly acquired operations into the existing supply chain framework
