• Conduct regular audits of customs entries and broker activities to verify accuracy, identify discrepancies, and maintain regulatory compliance
• Support internal and external audits, including CBP reviews and assessments from other relevant authorities
• Identify opportunities for process optimization and cost reduction within customs and import operations, and lead implementation of best practices
• Advise cross-functional teams on compliance requirements related to U.S. import/export regulations, including EAR, ITAR, OFAC, and Free Trade Agreements (e.g., USMCA)

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Access), ERP systems (SAP preferred), and trade compliance systems (e.g., SAP GTS, Descartes, Amber Road, Visual Compliance)
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to translate complex trade regulations into clear, actionable business guidance
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple transactions simultaneously
• Analytical skills, ability to analyze data and prepare reports, statements, and projections
