Export Manager

Plant City, United States

Propane Ninja is seeking an experienced Export Manager to take ownership of the execution and coordination of our growing international business, with a strong concentration of activity throughout the Caribbean.

This is a hands-on functional management role focused on international logistics, customer relationships, execution, and cross-functional coordination. You’ll connect customers, suppliers, carriers, freight forwarders, internal teams, and leadership to keep complex international transactions moving from customer requirement through successful delivery.

This is not a traditional sales role and does not initially include direct employee management. We’re looking for an experienced international operator who can create visibility, solve problems, and keep a lot of moving pieces aligned.
