Manager, Customs Clearance & Freight Forwarding

Our client is a small but reputable third-party testing & certification agency that is looking to establish their first branch in Kazakhstan.

They are searching for a seasoned and worldly Manager, Customs Clearance & Freight Forwarding with extensive hands-on experience in both areas, especially for freight forwarding operations.

In this role, you will oversee their end-to-end international logistics processes, ensuring compliant, efficient, and commercially-viable movement of their customer's goods across borders. The ideal candidate will possess deep regulatory knowledge, a strong individual contributor mindset with management capabilities, and significant commercial acumen.

Please note - this is a FOUNDING position that will require the candidate to act as a legal representative in Kazakhstan. And, while this is a leadership role, it is also equally hands-on since there will not be many staff to begin with.
