The posting

The opportunity

We are looking for a Senior Customs Operations Specialist to join Polestar’s Global Customs team within the Quality & Logistics organization.

As Polestar continues to expand globally, Customs has become a strategic business area that supports market growth, manufacturing expansion, supply chain resilience, and operational excellence across our international operations.

This is an opportunity to join a highly visible global function working at the intersection of logistics, manufacturing, procurement, finance, commercial operations, and legal compliance. Every vehicle launch, new market entry, manufacturing footprint, and cross-border supply chain flow relies on robust customs processes that enable growth while ensuring compliance.

Let us describe the challenge we offer

As a Senior Customs Operations Specialist, you will support strategic initiatives ranging from vehicle launches and manufacturing expansion to customs optimization and process development. You will play an important role in ensuring efficient customs operations, supporting compliance, and contributing to business decisions that impact Polestar’s operational performance and future growth.

This role is located at: Gothenburg, Sweden.

As a Senior Customs Operations Specialist, you will act as a key customs specialist supporting international trade activities across the organization. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and external customs service providers to ensure compliant, efficient, and reliable customs operations throughout the supply chain.

  • Supporting new vehicle launches, manufacturing footprints, logistics flows, and market expansion initiatives from a customs perspective.
  • Ensuring compliance with customs regulations and trade requirements across Polestar’s global operations.
  • Identifying, assessing, and mitigating customs-related compliance, operational, and financial risks.
  • Supporting continuous improvements in customs processes, governance, and internal controls.
  • Assisting with customs audits, compliance reviews, and interactions with customs authorities.
  • Supporting the development and maintenance of customs policies, standards, and best practices.
  • Identifying opportunities for duty optimization through free trade agreements and special customs procedures.
  • Collaborating with customs brokers, logistics providers, and authorities to ensure efficient cross-border operations.
  • Delivering customs training and awareness activities across the business.
  • Monitoring regulatory developments and translating requirements into practical business solutions.
  • Supporting the continued development of Polestar’s global customs capability and long-term strategy.

You are comfortable working across organizational boundaries, collaborating with stakeholders, and translating complex regulations into practical business solutions.

You enjoy solving complex challenges, driving improvements, and making a measurable impact on business performance in an international environment.

You bring:

  • Experience within customs, international trade, trade compliance, or customs operations.
  • Good knowledge of customs regulations, customs valuation, tariff classification, origin determination, and import/export requirements.
  • Experience supporting international supply chains and cross-border operations.
  • Experience working with customs authorities, customs brokers, and logistics service providers.
  • Understanding of customs risk management and compliance frameworks.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
