Logistics & Freight Manager
Location: Central London (office based), with occasional supplier visits
Salary Range: £50-60k
Job Type: Full-time, permanent
The Logistics & Freight Manager owns every inbound and outbound shipment for Nokwol, from factory pick-up to booked-in stock on the warehouse shelf. Nokwol drops new product every week, so the job is simple to state: get the right stock landed, cleared and sellable as fast as possible, with no surprises.
The role covers Nokwol own-brand product and third-party brands bought in for resale. It runs a mixed model: urgent air freight for launches and fast sellers, and sea freight for core essentials and replenishment.
Purpose of the Role
- Be the single point of control for all origin freight, with live visibility of every PO from pick-up to receipt
- Cut the time from factory to sellable stock, week after week
- Run UK import and EU freight to best-in-class speed and full compliance
- Manage UK export shipments and warehouse stock consolidation so stock sits where it sells
Key Responsibilities
- Origin freight control (Nokwol and third-party brands)
- Tracking and expediting, end to end
- UK import and customs
- UK export shipments
- Warehouse consolidation and stock positioning
- Suppliers, cost and continuous improvement
Essential Knowledge, Skills And Experience
- 3-5+ years in freight, logistics or supply chain, ideally in fashion, footwear or fast-moving retail with weekly drops
- Hands-on management of air and sea freight (FCL, LCL, consolidated air and express), from origin booking to delivery
- Strong working knowledge of UK import procedure: the Customs Declaration Service (CDS), commodity codes, rules of origin, customs valuation, duty and import VAT, deferment accounts and postponed VAT accounting
- Clear understanding of post-Brexit EU trade: EORI, UK-EU rules of origin under the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, EU customs, IOSS and DDP for B2C
- UK export procedure, export declarations and proof of export
- Working knowledge of Incoterms (EXW, FOB, FCA, DAP, DDP) and when each one is right
- Experience managing forwarders, brokers and hauliers and pushing them for results
- Confident with an ERP or tracking system (Fulfil ERP is a plus) and strong in Excel or Google Sheets
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Best-in-class import speed: what the candidate must know
The right person knows exactly what is possible and how to get there:
- Pre-lodged declarations: customs entries submitted before goods land, so air freight can clear on arrival and go straight to the warehouse
- Simplified procedures: Customs Freight Simplified Procedures (CFSP) and Entry in the Declarant's Records (EIDR) to move goods before a full declaration
- Trusted-trader status: Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) and its benefits for fewer checks and faster release
- Direct delivery: airside or near-airport clearance with same-day haulage to the warehouse, and port-to-warehouse delivery with pre-booked slots for sea freight
- Pre-alerts and documents: full, correct paperwork before departure, so there are no holds for missing or wrong documents
- Duty and VAT tools: duty deferment and postponed VAT accounting, so payment never holds up release
- Duty relief options: customs warehousing, inward processing and returned goods relief, where they suit re-export or EU stock
