Customs Brokerage Supervisor

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description of company, mission, etc. We need to decide sections: maybe "About the role" (purpose), "Responsibilities", "Qualifications", "Skills", "Benefits". Also maybe "Education and Experience". The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract substantive content. Let's parse the posting: - Intro: "Become a member of a global community! The international logistics industry is an integral piece of the global trade puzzle; we make the world go round. Global supply chain management is what we do, and at the heart of Expeditors you will find professionalism, leadership, and a friendly environment, all of which foster an innovative, customer service-based approach to logistics. Expeditors is a global logistics company headquartered in Seattle, Washington.

Expeditors satisfies the increasingly sophisticated needs of international trade through customized solutions and seamless, integrated information systems. Our Mission is to recruit, train, and retain the very best logistics and technical experts the world over. We love to promote from within - more than 50 percent of our employees have been at Expeditors for five years or more. Our high retention rate is influenced by a unique compensation program for positions that are more than just jobs - they're chances to grow, do what you love and build a career with us!" That's about the company, could be "About the role" or maybe "About Expeditors". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. So we can have an "About the role" section summarizing purpose and company context. - Job Description PURPOSE: "To support the customs brokerage manager in the smooth running of the department within the branch (ie) the customs product in the marketplace through focus on Operational Excellence, Financial Excellence, Business Development, Employee Development, Customer Service, and Digitization. To stay in adherence to the company’s policy, procedures and business code of conduct." That's purpose. - KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: then many bullet-like paragraphs. We need to turn into

  • list. - Qualifications: Knowledge list. - Skills list. - Behaviours list. - Training Requirements: "Meet company standards of 52 hours training per year, including as needed management/leadership training" - Education And Experience: "3-5 years of Customs Brokerage experience (preferred) Licensed Customs Broker (preferred)" - Additional Information: Benefits list: "Expeditors offers excellent benefits: Paid Vacation, Holiday, Sick Time Health Plan: Medical Life Insurance Employee Stock Purchase Plan Training and Personnel Development Program Growth opportunities within the company Employee Referral Program Bonus" We need to include Benefits section only if posting actually states them. Yes, it does. We should not include Pay or Schedule sections because not mentioned. We need to avoid duplication. Also remove boilerplate like "Become a member of a global community!" maybe keep as part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Thus produce something like:

    We need to ensure we didn't miss any content: The purpose paragraph we included in About the role maybe plus purpose. Could also separate purpose as part of About the role. Check for duplicate lines: The responsibilities list includes many items; we need to capture each bullet. Let's extract responsibilities from the text: "KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: Operational Excellence Monitor compliance at all times to regulations. This includes internal policies and procedures such as Operational Process Standards (OPS) and external government regulations or customer policies/requirements. Understand department process flow, constantly looking for areas of improved efficiency. Ensure all customers standard operating procedures are followed as per the SOP. Ensure all Customs Authorizations are accurate Monitor team workboards and workloads Ensure all documentation present for archiving purposes Allocate workloads within team to ensure smooth operations during peak activity or staff absence Meet with local customs to discuss performance, delays, red-channels, customs developments and plans (to adapt country per country) Promote compliance in diligently following all company policies and regulations and in being the role model of integrity and pride for all employees. Proactively communicate with the team to ensure continuous awareness and understanding of policies and regulations.

Could group by sections but we can just make each sentence as a list item. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can split by periods. Let's create list items: - Monitor compliance at all times to regulations (including internal policies and procedures such as Operational Process Standards (OPS) and external government regulations or customer policies/requirements). - Understand department process flow, constantly looking for areas of improved efficiency. - Ensure all customers standard operating procedures are followed as per the SOP. - Ensure all Customs Authorizations are accurate. - Monitor team workboards and workloads. - Ensure all documentation present for archiving purposes. - Allocate workloads within team to ensure smooth operations during peak activity or staff absence. - Meet with local customs to discuss performance, delays, red-channels, customs developments and plans (to adapt country per country). - Promote compliance in diligently following all company policies and regulations and in being the role model of integrity and pride for all employees. - Proactively communicate with the team to ensure continuous awareness and understanding of policies and regulations. - Maintain a positive relationship with the Trade Compliance Manager and support all compliance efforts and trainings. - Follow up the customs guarantee for various operations. - Follow up refunds with customs authorities. - Follow AR report – review, delegate, chase. - Ensure every account has a credit limit and check for credit extension when needed. - Department P&L – review, identify areas that lack profitability. - Support the manager and/or the sales department where needed: Ensure all new business is transitioned correctly. - Report all calls - sales and retention activities in CRM. - Support with brokerage business setup and/or quotes as needed. - Identify with manager, develop and mentor your No. 2. - Ensure team meets company standards of 52 hours training per year per employee. - Ensure that the new hires complete company’s mandatory training within the first 6 months. - Participate in 3+1: quarterly one on ones and annual performance review with all employees. - Ensure all staff and positions have job descriptions, communicate clear expectations and are working with structured development plans. - Contribute to the effective weekly department meetings with team. - Review department goals and business plan periodically with team to ensure buy-in and accountability. - Proactively promote the company’s 10 cultural attributes: Appearance, Attitude, Confidence, Curiosity, Excellence, Integrity, Pride, Resolute, Sense of Humor, and Visionary. - Prioritize the customer experience. - Communicate regularly with customers and maintain good working relationships. - Handle escalation requests from agents. - All communication with customers should be professional and set an example for the team. - Foster the 6 Key Elements of Customer Service within the team (Freight, Relationship, Billing, Communication, Information, Our People). - Be able to navigate difficult conversations with customers and reach a resolution. - Support customers throughout the department, step in to support other teams as needed. - Focus on continued process improvement and efficiencies. - Promote and utilize productivity tools (process management, data default rules, macros/power queries, edoc lift, etc.). - Be open to implementing new system changes and enhancements with your team. - Be involved with onboarding and suggesting system/process improvements. - Set the tone of this environment within your team. - Pull and customize reporting for customers. That seems comprehensive.
