About the opportunity

In today's evolving international parcels environment, delivering solutions that are simple, efficient, and market-relevant is more important than ever. As a key member of the International Commercial team, this role is responsible for overseeing the international volumes processed through the Sydney Bonded facility.

You'll work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners including service providers, compliance teams, and border authorities, to ensure we remain agile, aligned, and commercially competitive in a dynamic global market.
