Role summary
Charger Logistics, a leading asset-based carrier, seeks a Customs Brokerage Manager to lead licensing, permit readiness, and operational compliance. This role involves building importer processes, implementing customs filing software, and managing a team. The manager will oversee classification, valuation, and customs release, ensuring seamless integration with the company's TMS. Responsibilities include financial oversight of duties, taxes, and payments, and maintaining strong relationships with finance and commercial teams. The position requires an active U.S. Customs Broker license and leadership experience in customs brokerage.
Charger Logistics is a world class asset-based carrier. We specialize in delivering your assets, on time and on budget. With the diverse fleet of equipment, we can handle a range of freight, including dedicated loads, specialized hauls, temperature-controlled goods and HAZMAT cargo.
Charger logistics invests time and support into its employees to provide them with the room to learn and grow their expertise and work their way up. We are entrepreneurial-minded organization that welcomes and support individual idea and strategies. We are currently expanding and looking to add a motivated individual to our team.
Responsibilities:
- Lead organizational licence and national-permit readiness and applications. Serve as the licensed corporate officer and designated licensed individual supporting the permit, 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 our in-house recruiters. Establish shipment coverage, quality controls and contingency arrangements.
- Work with finance and commercial teams on pricing, budgets and performance. Maintain controls over duties, taxes and customer payments without financing importer duty advances.

- 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.
