About Umicore

At Umicore, we are dedicated to reducing harmful emissions from vehicles, revitalizing used metals, and powering the future of automotive technology.

As a leading global materials and technology organization, we leverage our specialized expertise to provide essential materials and solutions that enhance everyday life.

Our goal is to establish ourselves as the foremost authority in materials for sustainable mobility and recycling, transforming our commitment to sustainability into a significant competitive edge.

With such ambitious goals, envision the impact you could make.

Your Role


In the coming years, Umicore anticipates substantial growth, particularly in the domains of battery materials and recycling, leading to increased complexity in processes, organizational structures, and trade flows.

As regulations tighten and the global economic landscape remains uncertain, it is vital to maintain clear oversight, standardization, and uniformity to ensure compliance at all levels. This focus will provide Umicore with a considerable competitive advantage.


The Customs Compliance Manager will enhance and develop expertise within the Umicore Group, supporting the Global Customs Compliance Manager in delivering corporate oversight.

Additionally, this role will contribute to the efficiency and competitiveness of Umicore's supply chains by assisting in the following areas:

  • Mitigating risks and costs associated with non-compliance
  • Preventing supply chain disruptions due to compliance issues
  • Achieving savings on import duties through the establishment of duty deviation schemes

Your Contributions
In the realm of customs compliance, your primary responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting the customs departments across Umicore NV, Umicore Specialty Materials Brugge, and Todini BV.
  • Ensuring processes are upheld for accurate product classification, (non-)preferential origin, valuation, and customs procedures, thereby guaranteeing the accuracy of operational customs clearance and import VAT.
  • Overseeing the correctness of reporting for special procedures, including inward/outward processing relief and bonded warehouse.
  • Facilitating the acquisition of necessary permits, such as AEO certification and approved exporter status.
  • Ensuring compliance through assistance with customs audits and following up on audit recommendations.
  • Participating in negotiations with customs brokers and monitoring the execution of standard operating procedures (SOP).
  • Regularly updating the Global Customs Compliance Manager on customs operations and projects.
  • Collaborating closely with the Global Customs Compliance Manager on various international customs projects.
  • Working alongside the Global Process Owner for customs, other customs managers globally, and various departments.
  • Providing training to the Umicore Trade Compliance, Logistics, and Commercial teams.

In Customs Advisory, you will also take on various responsibilities:

  • Acting as an internal trusted advisor, offering compliance guidance and risk education to Umicore Business Units.
  • Staying informed about detailed changes in customs regulations within the EU and maintaining a high-level understanding of regulations in regions such as the US and China.
  • Monitoring the implementation of international free trade agreements and evaluating their potential impact on Umicore's operations.
  • Developing and sustaining a comprehensive understanding of business flows to identify opportunities for duty deviation schemes, including duty suspension and inward processing.

Who We Seek

We are looking for candidates who possess:

  • A higher degree combined with relevant experience.
  • In-depth knowledge of EU customs regulations and procedures.
  • A background or strong interest in chemistry and product classification.
  • Fluency in Dutch and English, with additional languages considered an asset.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications (PowerPoint, Excel, etc.).
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively.
  • Strong project management and analytical capabilities.
  • A proactive, pragmatic, and customer-oriented approach.
  • A commitment to continuous improvement and achieving results.
  • A disciplined work ethic and ethical mindset.

What We Offer

At Umicore, we strive to lead not only for our customers but also for our employees.

We are committed to fostering a collaborative environment where everyone can thrive, sharing ideas, enhancing expertise, and advancing careers.

We promote an inclusive workplace culture that provides equal opportunities for all employees, regardless of their diverse backgrounds.
