Cross-functional alignment: Coordinate FTZ/import timelines with Manufacturing/Tech Ops, QA/QC, Supply Chain, and Logistics to meet GMP batch release and patient schedules. Reporting and improvement: Track and report KPIs (admission cycle time, inventory accuracy, entry error rate, CBP/FDA holds, duty deferral/avoidance); lead root cause/Corrective Actions and drive process improvements. SOPs and training: Maintain FTZ/import SOPs and role-based training; coach site teams on FTZ procedures and documentation standards. Qualifications Bachelor’s in Supply Chain, International Business, Life Sciences, or related. 5+ years in customs brokerage, import/export, or trade compliance with hands‑on FTZ/bonded operations; biopharma/advanced therapies and temperature‑controlled logistics preferred. Working knowledge of 19 CFR Part 146, HTS classification, customs valuation, FDA/CBER import requirements. Proficiency with FTZ inventory systems, broker portals and use of MS Excel. Familiarity with GDP/GxP documentation and audit support. Effective communication and stakeholder management. Core Competencies Patient focus and integrity: Protects COI/COC, data integrity, and product quality in all FTZ activities supporting patient timelines. Deliver results: Executes admissions/entries/exports accurately and on time; sustains audit‑ready records and high inventory accuracy. Problem solving and judgment: Anticipates risks, resolves FTZ/import exceptions, and escalates appropriately. Collaborate and influence: Aligns brokers, internal teams, and carriers without direct authority to meet compliance and schedule needs. Data and digital: Ensures clean, timely system transactions; uses KPIs to drive corrective actions and continuous improvement. The annual base pay for this position ranges from $89K to $134K.
