- Assist in the training and onboarding of new team members as required
- Coordinate with U.S. Government Agencies to prepare and submit required documents, verify successful filings of reporting notices, and schedule necessary vessel attendances within required time frames
- Verify successful filing of cargo import, entry, and export manifests within required time frames
- Maintain professional acumen and a customer service mindset when dealing with Host customer, stakeholder and industry relationships
