Junior Sales Coordinator - CAN

Meet BorderBuddy:

Unlike traditional customs brokers who have been around for decades, BorderBuddy was established after the advent of the Internet - the same year Apple introduced the iPhone. Over the last 17 years, we have adeptly managed the importation of a wide array of goods, gaining the trust of over 50,000 clients and a 4.8-star rating with over 2300 Google reviews.

We pride ourselves on being a technology-first customs broker, and are aggressively pursuing opportunities in ecommerce. While traditional customs brokers may rely on physical offices at ports of entry, BorderBuddy leverages cutting-edge technology to provide seamless, efficient, and compliant customs services provided by a 100% remote working team across Canada and the U.S. We're focused on modernizing and advancing the standard approach to customs clearance. And we're growing fast, super fast.

Join our dynamic team at BorderBuddy and contribute to shaping the future of customs operations, ensuring compliance and efficiency in cross-border transactions. If you are passionate about customs procedures and possess the skills to lead in a complex regulatory environment, we invite you to be an integral part of our success story.
