Company

This global leader in advanced lithium-ion battery manufacturing is driving the electric vehicle revolution and accelerating the transition to renewable energy. With several new facilities under development in the US, the company is rapidly becoming a cornerstone of American battery production.

The Arizona facility is a state-of-the-art, sustainable plant, designed with advanced technologies to maximize efficiency, energy density, and system resiliency while minimizing waste and operational costs.

Joining now means becoming one of the first 100 employees at a site that will grow to 1,500+ by the start of production next year, providing significant opportunities for growth and influence.

This role offers a unique balance of stability and dynamism. We have already helped the company across multiple sites over the past five years. Consistent feedback points to a highly collaborative team culture and rapid career progression.

This role requires someone comfortable navigating both the detail of CBP regulations and the broader coordination with supply chain, logistics, procurement, and legal.

• Conduct audits of customs entries and broker activities; support CBP and internal audits.
• Monitor changes in US trade regulations (e.g., CBP updates, USMCA) and ensure proactive compliance.
• Identify opportunities to streamline processes, improve compliance, and reduce costs.
• Partner with global HQ and other international sites to align customs practices.

Essential Requirements

• Several years of experience in customs compliance, import operations, or international logistics (manufacturing preferred).
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, or related field.
• Bilingual: English/Korean required.
• Experience managing third-party customs brokers or logistics service providers.
• Experience with Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) operations preferred.
• Licensed Customs Broker (LCB) certification is a plus.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong sense of ownership with the ability to drive tasks through to completion.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across diverse teams.
• Proficiency in data analysis and reporting (MS Office, ERP systems such as SAP/Oracle).
• Knowledge of finance, accounting, and global sourcing.
• Flexibility to support international teams and travel (domestic & international).

This is a chance to get in early at one of the most important US clean energy projects of the decade, shape how global trade flows into a flagship EV battery facility, and build your career in a high-growth, high-impact environment.
