About This Role

This role sits at the intersection of operations and administration within a growing credit systems company. It suits a detail-oriented early-career professional who can manage the paperwork and coordination required for cross-border trade while also handling daily administrative and banking tasks. The position offers exposure to the full logistics lifecycle—from government liaison to financial institution coordination—making it a strong foundation role for someone aiming to build a career in supply chain or trade compliance.

What the Requirements Say About This Role

The employer is looking for a candidate who combines basic logistics knowledge with strong organizational instincts and the ability to manage multiple stakeholders. While the listing mentions import/export experience, the “junior” designation signals that the company values trainability, accuracy, and a proactive attitude over deep expertise. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and familiarity with Ethiopian customs or banking procedures are likely key differentiators during screening.

How to Approach This Application

In your cover letter, emphasize your ability to track shipments, coordinate with banks or government offices, and manage paperwork under deadlines. If you have any experience with customs clearance, letter of credit processes, or supplier communication, highlight that clearly. The employer will prioritize candidates who demonstrate reliability and attention to detail—so use specific examples of how you’ve organized or followed up on complex tasks in the past.

Best Fit

Who This Role Suits
