About PerfectTed
PerfectTed is on a mission to change how the world experiences energy. We’re the UK’s fastest-growing energy drink brand and Europe’s leading matcha company — building a cleaner, calmer alternative to traditional energy drinks. No crashes. No junk. Just matcha-powered focus.
The brand was inspired by our co-founder Marisa’s experience with ADHD, anxiety, and burnout — and built to help people feel energised without the chaos. We’re founder-led, ambitious, and scaling fast. If you want to help take a breakout brand global, this is your moment.
The Role
We’re looking for an organised, proactive International Shipping Coordinator to help power our global expansion.
You’ll own the day-to-day management of our international shipments — ensuring orders leave on time, paperwork is correct, Incoterms are aligned, and all movements are fully compliant. You’ll work closely with our Operations Managers, 3PL partners, and distributors to keep stock moving smoothly across Europe and beyond.
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, loves problem-solving, and takes pride in getting the details right.
