Job Description

This is an opportunity to contribute your expertise, make a real impact, and grow within an ambitious, international business that is transforming its industry. You will manage the daily export workflow for vehicles sold via a B2B platform, ensuring all cross-border logistics are handled efficiently, compliantly, and with a strong focus on documentation quality. This is not a traditional dispatch role. You will act as the export documentation and VAT expert, ensuring that every vehicle handover is supported by a complete, accurate, and audit-ready evidence pack.

Job Responsibility

  • Managing export cases end-to-end across EU and non-EU markets
  • Coordinating vehicle collections with compounds and freight forwarders
  • Preparing and validating ownership transfer and deregistration documents according to country-specific requirements
  • Compiling export evidence packs (CMR/PoD, ICS, MRN/IE599, invoices, carrier and compound documentation)
  • Producing VAT-compliant documentation for B2B net sales and supporting non-EU export declarations
  • Performing final quality checks before closing cases in internal systems and ensuring full audit readiness
  • Resolving missing or incorrect documentation with buyers, carriers, compounds, and partners
  • Identifying risks early, communicating clearly in German and English, and supporting market rollout projects

Requirements

  • C1/C2 or business-fluent German and English (written and spoken)
  • Hands-on experience with export documentation for EU and/or non-EU shipments (e.g. ownership transfer, export declarations, MRN, IE599, preference documents)
  • Solid understanding of EU B2B VAT for cross-border transactions, or strong motivation to develop expertise in this area
  • Confident collaboration with freight forwarders, compounds, and service providers
  • Vocational training or degree in forwarding, logistics, export or supply chain

Nice to have

  • Additional European languages are a plus (Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch)
  • Experience in a start-up or scale-up environment is an advantage

What we offer

  • Hybrid & flexible working model
  • 28 days of annual leave plus your birthday off
  • Annual Well-Being Day and Paid Charity Day
  • Modern office in Cologne (Mülheim area, excellent transport links)
  • Full training and development opportunities in a dynamic, scale-up environment
  • Diverse, supportive team culture
