About The Role
We're looking for a licensed Customs Broker who enjoys solving complex customs and clearance challenges and wants broader exposure than a traditional brokerage role.
This position combines hands-on customs brokerage with involvement in customer solutions, process improvement projects, operational initiatives and future service development across Australia and New Zealand.
While customs clearance remains at the core of the role, you'll also work closely with senior leaders on projects, customer requirements, regulatory challenges and process improvements that help shape the future of clearance operations.

- Work on high-profile customer solutions and projects
- Gain exposure to regional operations across Australia, New Zealand and APAC
- Be involved in process improvement and automation initiatives
- Participate in customer meetings and technical discussions
- Build relationships with senior operational, compliance and commercial stakeholders
- Develop skills that support future progression into leadership, project or specialist roles
At the same time, the role remains grounded in practical customs brokerage work and technical expertise.
