Exciting Trade Advisory Opportunity to Help Make Global Trade Easy

The Opportunity:

The global supply chain is one of the most heavily regulated industries for all parties involved. Everyone from the carriers, intermediaries, trucking companies, 3rd party logistics, freight forwarders, shippers, consignees, importers, exporters, and brokers face a challenging and complex task of navigating through a myriad of laws from the originating country, destination country as well as international treaties and conventions.

The Trade Advisory team, consisting of business consultants, lawyers and licensed customs brokers, offers advanced customs and trade expertise to help clients identify supply chain risks and cost savings opportunities. We are looking for a Trade Advisory Associate - Entry Audit to join our Trade Advisory team. This team member will work closely with the Trade Advisory Lead to execute client entry audit projects, managing the day-to-day work associated with each engagement from data intake through final reporting and recommendations.

Audit scope: Entry audits review a client's historical import entries to validate compliance and uncover risk and savings opportunities. Scope typically includes tariff classification, customs valuation, country of origin, duty rates and special program eligibility (including free trade agreements and additional tariff programs), antidumping and countervailing duty exposure, and the accuracy of entry data filed in ACE. Findings are quantified, documented, and translated into corrective actions such as prior disclosures, post summary corrections, and duty refund or recovery opportunities.

You Will:

  • Work closely with the Trade Advisory Lead to scope, plan, and execute client entry audit projects.
  • Manage the day-to-day activities of multiple audit projects, including data requests, timelines, status updates, and deliverables.

  • Build and maintain Excel models and workbooks to map data from ACE to client specific business rules.
  • Design, build, and maintain automated workflows and data pipelines using N8N, Parabola, or equivalent tools to streamline audit analysis and reporting.
  • Identify discrepancies, quantify duty and fee impact, and document audit findings with supporting evidence.
  • Prepare clear audit reports and client-ready summaries of findings, root causes, and recommended corrective actions.
  • Support remediation efforts resulting from audit findings, such as post summary corrections, prior disclosures, and refund or recovery filings.
  • Maintain internal audit trackers, workpapers, and documentation to ensure projects are organized, consistent, and auditable.
  • Proactively stay informed on the latest customs and other government agency regulations, ruling issuances, and industry trends that are relevant to our clients.
  • Ensure project timelines, statuses, and invoices are appropriately managed and delivered.
  • Identify opportunities to improve audit SOPs, templates, and automation to increase accuracy and efficiency.
  • Maintain active communication with clients, customs and other government authorities, and internal stakeholders, elevating issues where necessary.
  • Support Trade Advisory infrastructure and administrative requirements.

You should have:

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited college/university.
  • Licensed Customs Broker (LCB) preferred.
  • 2-4 years experience working in house, at a customs brokerage, importer, trade industry, preferred.
  • Strong data analytical skills, with the ability to analyze large data sets and draw accurate conclusions.

  • Experience with workflow automation and data tools such as N8N, python, or equivalent.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a high standard of accuracy.
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to stay on top of multiple tasks and projects.
  • Strong technical and business writing skills.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
