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 County Tyrone
County Tyrone is located to the east of Lough Neagh, and is the only Northern Irish county to have borders with three others: Londonderry, Fermanagh and Armagh. It also borders Donegal and Monaghan in Eire. The county seat and most populous settlement is the relatively small town of Omagh (population 20,000), and the next largest towns are Strabane, Dungannon and Cookstown. Tyrone is Northern Ireland’s largest county be area.
Although Tyrone does not have a single dominant settlement, it does have several moderately sized towns. There is a good deal of agriculture in the county and some industry. However the picture for anyone seeking Export Manager work is reasonably promising, as networks of populations always require a well organised supply chain to service their needs.
