About the Role

The Rotational Development Program (RDP) is an 18-month program designed to build operational and technical skill sets for global trade. Every assignment is live, revenue-generating work. Participants will gain certification in AI and low-code tooling, alongside operational and commercial training. Graduates will move into roles primarily in Account Management, with potential paths into Automation Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering/Consulting, Sales Engineering, or traditional Ops/Sales/Customs tracks.

Key Responsibilities

You will rotate through three functions, six months each, with AI/low-code curriculum running continuously:

• Gateway Ops (Air or Ocean):
• Own the shipment lifecycle.
• Execute bookings, manage exceptions, and ensure data integrity.
• Build automation and reporting skills through structured coursework.
• Customs:
• Navigate customs regulations to ensure goods comply with international laws.
• Engage in applied technical work including SQL, workflow automation, and Lean process improvement.
• Sales / Account Management:
• Undertake go-to-market work and build client-facing skills with increasing independence.
• Capstone project: Identify a business problem in your current rotation and build a tooling or process solution. Present this to leadership at graduation.
