A supply and import planner deals specifically with all importation in the supply chain. This could include the importation of raw materials or machines for producing the company’s goods, or the importation of company goods that were manufactured abroad. Your tasks will include working with the relevant stakeholders and also strategizing on how to make any supply importations more efficient. Vital for this role is an expert understanding of customs regulations and relevant laws in both the sender and receiver countries. Attention to detail, as well as strong communication skills, are also important, as you will be communicating with government entities (customs officials), transportation entities (shipping or airline companies), and other stakeholders.
A strong supply and import planner resume will highlight your successes working with international stakeholders as well as your successes in streamlining the importation process. Highlighting your communication experience would also be highly beneficial, so use action verbs like ‘liaised’, ‘communicated’ etc. as this resume has done.
