If you are a Foreign Trade Coordinator professional Iooking for an opportunity to grow your career: this role offers the chance to lead and continuously improve cross-border import/export operations, ensuring strong customs compliance, predictable delivery performance, and transparent landed-cost visibility for the business. You will coordinate internal teams and external partners to support high-volume trade activity (around 4000 imports & 200 exports), strengthen operational controls, and deliver a great experience for customers and stakeholders-while advancing Emerson's values of innovation, integrity, collaboration, and inclusion.

In This Role, Your Responsibilities Will Be:
• Coordinate and oversee end-to-end import operations (including high-volume annual transactions), aligning all stakeholders to meet customs requirements and PPI delivery commitments.
• Ensure customs compliance across processes and documentation, including accurate tariff classification and adherence to applicable regulations and non-tariff requirements.
• Establish and manage release/clearance timelines that support on-time delivery performance, escalating risks early and driving timely resolution.
• Build and implement logistics strategies to improve cycle time, increase process clarity, and optimize logistics spend-using data to identify bottlenecks and remove non-value-added work.
• Define, track, and communicate performance indicators (KPIs) that show operational health, clearance times, and results of improvement initiatives.
• Control and reconcile delivered material versus fulfillment orders and purchase orders to maintain accurate operational and customer visibility.
• Partner with customs brokers/representatives to ensure the lawful importation of Emerson goods and smooth release and dispatch for material disposition.
• Support conformity assessment and certification workflows (including NOM-related activities), coordinating documentation, payments to certifying bodies, sample handling (when required), and maintaining records, validity dates, and renewals.
• Provide business-ready justifications for exception requests when needed and maintain audit-ready supporting documentation.
• Monitor and manage inventory held by third-party logistics/customs partners (including U.S.-based broker warehouse inventory destined for the customer), ensuring traceability and timely disposition.
• Plan, direct, and control land/air/sea import and export activities (as applicable), coordinating customs and transportation in line with internal and external legal requirements.
• Guide shipment prioritization with logistics partners through clear written and verbal communication, balancing urgency, criticality, and cost.
• Produce clear operational reporting (arrivals, in-process and completed imports, deviations, damages, aging inventory, and other trade/logistics dashboards) to support decision-making.
• Control customs, taxes, duties, and service fees per shipment; maintain electronic proof-of-payment records and support reconciliations as required.
• Prepare and validate U.S. export documentation prior to Mexico import when needed, coordinate U.S. export logistics, and support transport documentation requirements (including Carta Porte inputs).
• Own landed-cost visibility and allocation by business unit, ensuring freight and logistics charges are applied accurately and consistently; support cost tracking programs and payment reconciliations (e.g., CASS/PECE where applicable).
• Lead and/or contribute to continuous improvement projects that sustain or enhance the operation, strengthening controls, efficiency, compliance, and stakeholder experience.

Who You Are:

• You gain the confidence and trust of others through honesty, integrity, and authenticity. You build partnerships and work collaboratively with others to meet shared objectives. You plan and prioritize work to meet commitments aligned with organizational goals. You hold self and others accountable to meet commitments.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Demonstrated experience coordinating and supervising import/export operations across one or more modes (land, air, and/or sea), including customs clearance and transportation coordination.
• Working knowledge of Mexico customs compliance practices, tariff classification, and the management of regulatory and non-tariff requirements.
• Experience partnering with customs brokers/representatives and internal stakeholders to ensure lawful importation and timely release of goods.
• Ability to manage costs and create visibility of logistics spend, including landed-cost reporting and charge allocation across business units.
• Capability to define, track, and communicate KPIs; comfort creating operational reports and presentations for different audiences.
• Practical experience managing documentation control (electronic filing, proofs of payment, shipment records) with an audit-ready mindset.
• Strong communication skills (written and verbal) to coordinate priorities, manage escalations, and provide clear updates across teams and partners.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart:

• Experience supporting NOM-related certification processes (including samples, records, renewals, and coordination with certifying bodies) and preparing exception justifications when required.
• Familiarity with U.S. export documentation steps that precede Mexico import and with cross-border coordination from U.S. origin to Mexico destination.
• Experience managing inventory visibility with third-party logistics/customs partners, including aging, disposition, and reporting.
• Proficiency with data tools (e.g., Excel) and comfort working in ERP/ATS-integrated environments to support clean, timely data flow and reporting (Oracle familiarity is a plus).
• Continuous improvement mindset with examples of simplifying processes, reducing cycle time, or improving compliance outcomes through practical changes.
