• Help resolve Customs rejections, RFIs, holds, documentation issues, and compliance matters.
• Prepare and file Customs entries when needed based on workload.
• Maintain and improve standard operating procedures, workflows, and brokerage processes.
• Monitor regulatory updates involving U.S. Customs, Partner Government Agencies, and import compliance requirements.
• Coordinate team workflow, assign priorities, and help balance daily productivity.
• Work closely with leadership on training, process improvement, and operational growth.
• Support strong client service by ensuring accuracy, responsiveness, and compliance across the import process.

• 5 years of experience in Customs Brokerage operations preferred
• Strong knowledge of U.S. Customs regulations, import entries, trade compliance, and documentation requirements.

• Ability to solve problems quickly in a fast-paced import environment.
• Strong organizational, communication, and follow-through skills.
• Experience improving processes, workflows, or SOPs is a plus.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred, but not required.

Why You’ll Love It There

• Opportunity to take ownership of a key Customs Brokerage operation.
• Hands-on leadership role with direct impact on compliance, accuracy, and team performance.
• Work with a company that values brokerage expertise and operational improvement.
• Strong fit for someone who enjoys solving import problems, supporting a team, and keeping clients compliant.
