Global trade runs on precision, and few companies understand that better than Unilever. The company’s Export Analyst role is vital to keeping the supply chain running efficiently — ensuring every product is cleared, shipped, and delivered without delay.

1. Bringing Order to Global Operations
At the core of the Export Analyst’s responsibilities lies one goal: efficiency. They support smooth inbound and outbound logistics by managing customs documentation, monitoring port clearances, and ensuring that raw materials and finished goods reach warehouses and distributors on time.

2. Excellence in Warehouse Management
Beyond paperwork, the role involves hands-on warehouse operations — enforcing SOPs, maintaining hygiene and safety standards, and reconciling stock records through the SAP system.
A “no scan, no move” policy ensures full accountability for every product handled, while First Expiry, First Out (FEFO) practices guarantee optimal inventory turnover.
3. Coordination and Collaboration
The Export Analyst acts as a link between suppliers, warehouse teams, clearing agents, and 3PL partners, ensuring timely dispatch and delivery. Regular communication and performance monitoring help keep operations streamlined and customer satisfaction high.
