5 months ago


Remote, United Kingdom The Jamestown Group Full time

**this is a CONTRACT, NOT EMPLOYEE, and we will work with you contractually (vs. being an employee). You will invoice us monthly and you will be responsible for your own taxes etc...**

**Initially we think this will be a 6 month contract - which could very well be extended should both parties feel it is successful.**

**equally this might also be someone who works with us on a freelance, project basis as well.**

We are open to a number of possibilities - most importantly, is to find the right person with the right experience - and we can figure out the rest later.

**This is a 100% remote role**

**You must be fluent in English (written and verbal) to be relevant**

**COMPANY BACKGROUND**

We are a $100m investment firm that specialise in the medical aesthetics industry and have a network of warehouses globally that serve as local procurement centres which also pick, pack and ship products to our end consumer - currently this is about 90% in the US and our customer is small - medium sized health care professionals.

Our primary business is focused on enabling sourcing and ecommerce distribution of medical goods and other healthcare related products to clinics, aestheticians, doctors, and pharmacists in the global SME space. Wrapped around this core offering are adjacent business solutions which our clientele requires to run their day-to-day businesses (IT, digital marketing, and outsourced administration services).

In essence, we are a B2B distributor of medical devices, medical aesthetics & pharma products that are sourced from Asia and Europe and shipped mainly to the US.

**ROLE BACKGROUND**
- Because of the nature of the industry we operate within, the cross border trade element of our logistics is complex and could be classified as higher risk (in line with other products that are heavily regulated like cannabis or other toxins / chemicals).
- Quite often this creates challenges with the logistics companies like DHL, Fed-Ex, Purolator, etc... because these products are classified in different ways and require specific regulations to shop cross border because of constraints around temperature, storage needs and meeting regulatory requirements which are different from one place to the next - and often quite fluid
- Whilst the challenges are real and prevalent with the main global logistics companies and the account management side of this, the other challenge stands with cross border customs, in particular the US customs challenges that importing heavily regulated beauty products presents.

**WHAT WE NEED**
- We need someone who will help build a solution for us that solves these problems TODAY, and creates a robust logistics and customs suite of solutions for TOMORROW
- You must be familiar with cross border trade of heavily regulated goods / products to be relevant
- You must have had previous experience in operating as a logistics aggregator to be relevant for us
- You must be familiar with cross border selling and product classification in the medical aesthetics, medical devices or pharma industry to be relevant for us
- You must be an expert in optimising shipping solutions for goods that are classified as high risk within a heavily regulated industry

**Job Type**: Fixed term contract

**Salary**: £27,505.31-£118,736.06 per year

**Benefits**:

- Company pension
- Flexitime
- Work from home

Schedule:

- Flexitime
