Export Manager jobs
Depending on the size of the company, export managers will need to have an understanding of either exporting to a small number of countries or general exporting.
Certain jurisdictions will have importation laws specific to them, so an intimate knowledge of these laws will be needed if the employer exports to these countries. Many employers will sell their products to a small number of markets, and will employ export managers with specific experience there.
On the other hand, companies that export more widely will be looking for export managers with a great understanding of export regulations in general rather than specifically.
Reporting to commercial director or similar, the export manager will need to produce regular operations reports and manage the export team profitably and efficiently, maintaining the smooth and trouble-free export operation that will be essential to the company’s success.
The skills required
Good experience of exporting goods is usually required for a managerial role, preferably as a manager; however, exporting experience in a good non-managerial position will be sufficient for some talented individuals. Deep knowledge of the importing laws of specific countries being exported to will probably be required, while an excellent understanding of your own country’s export law will almost certainly be needed.
As the job will require regular contact with overseas clients, aptitude or fluency in one or more foreign language, particularly the official language or common language of the client’s country will be beneficial.
An ability to manage staff under your control as well as taking instructions from the higher levels of the company will be an essential skill.
Export Manager Jobs in Nairnshire
Nestled between Inverness-shire and the county of Moray is Nairnshire, a historic county that’s now part of the greater Highland council area. Its focal point is the town of Nairn on its northern coast. The county is served by the east-west railway that joins Aberdeen to Inverness, and also the A96 and A939. To the south of the county is the beautiful Cairngorms National Park. The county town of Nairn is a seaside resort and fishing port, with a harbour that was built by engineer Thomas Telford.
Nairnshire is not particularly highly populated and prospects for upper-level logistics and supply chain work such as Export Manager jobs are in line with this. However with Inverness just down the road, there could be more opportunities there.
