Charger Logistics invests in its employees, providing opportunities for learning, growth, and career advancement. They are an entrepreneurial-minded organization that encourages individual ideas and strategies. Currently expanding, they seek a motivated individual to join their team.

Responsibilities:

• Lead organizational license and national-permit readiness and applications. Serve as the licensed corporate officer and designated licensed individual supporting permits, subject to applicable requirements and approvals.
• Establish responsible supervision and control through staff training, entry reviews, escalation procedures, recordkeeping, and compliance monitoring.
• Build importer onboarding and direct power-of-attorney processes; oversee classification, valuation, origin, agency requirements, customs release, and entry summaries.
• Implement customs filing software and ACE/ABI workflows with the technology team; connect document intake, release status, billing, and reconciliation with Charger’s TMS.
• Recruit, train, and supervise the operating team with in-house recruiters. Establish shipment coverage, quality controls, and contingency arrangements.
• Collaborate with finance and commercial teams on pricing, budgets, and performance. Maintain controls over duties, taxes, and customer payments without financing importer duty advances.

Requirements:

• Active, issued individual U.S. Customs Broker license in good standing. Passing the examination or holding CCS certification alone is insufficient.
• Recent customs brokerage leadership, including staff supervision and accountability for compliance, filing quality, and service delivery.
• Strong working knowledge of CBP requirements, ACE/ABI, entry and entry-summary processes, importer authorization, and customs exception resolution.
• Willingness and eligibility to assume genuine corporate officer and national-permit supervision responsibilities and perform the role from the United States.

Preferred Experience:

Canada–U.S. commercial truck clearances; eight or more years in brokerage, including three or more years leading a team or function. Brokerage launches, licensing applications, filing-system implementation, and branch performance ownership are advantages.
