• Customs & Trade Compliance Analyst . to support compliant, accurate, and efficient import and export activity across our North American and global shipment lanes. As our new Customs Specialist, you will own the processes that ensure our products move across borders accurately and efficiently, in compliance with customs requirements. Your initial priority will be strengthening our Canada-U.S. customs processes, particularly shipments from Canada into the U.S., with the scope expanding to inbound shipments from China, cross-border activity involving Mexico, and other global markets.

You will apply your customs expertise to understand Array’s products, determine the appropriate classifications and documentation, and establish consistent processes for HS codes, commercial invoices, audits, duty drawback, and broker management. Working closely with customs brokers, our Shipping and Logistics teams, Finance, Operations, and other internal partners, you will help ensure shipments move efficiently across borders while meeting evolving customs, trade, and regulatory requirements.

This is a full-time role based at our 45 Progress Ave Scarborough facility.

As you become established in the role, onsite attendance will shift to an as-needed basis.

What’s in it for you

Ownership and autonomy. This is a newly created role and an opportunity to own an important capability for Array in North America. You will establish and strengthen customs governance processes, determine how requirements are applied to our products, and help build a more consistent approach to classification, documentation, auditing, and compliance. You will report to a leader who values independence, gives people room to solve problems, and is available to provide direction and support when you need it.

Broaden your global trade expertise. Your initial focus will be on strengthening Canada-U.S. customs activity, particularly exports from Canada into the U.S. From there, your scope will expand to imports from China into Canada and the U.S., trade involving Mexico, and potentially shipments into Europe and other international markets. You will have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge across multiple jurisdictions while becoming the internal resource teams turn to for customs and trade guidance.

Impact and career growth. Array ships products globally, allowing you to apply your expertise to real and evolving trade challenges. Your work will directly influence how we classify products, manage duties and tariffs, prepare for audits, work with brokers, and decide how products move across borders. As the function evolves, you may broaden your scope into global customs and trade or build further experience across logistics and supply chain operations.

As our new Customs Specialist, you will:

Lead customs compliance and governance. You will own Array’s customs and compliance governance process, establishing clear processes for how products are classified, documented, reviewed, and moved across borders. You will stay current on customs rules, tariffs, government requirements, and trade regulations, and translate them into practical business processes.

Classify Array’s products. You will develop a strong understanding of Array’s products and determine the appropriate HS, HTS, and tariff classifications across applicable jurisdictions. You will research classifications, rulings, and regulatory requirements and establish consistent processes for selecting and applying codes.

Manage customs documentation and clearance. You will ensure commercial invoices and other customs documentation contain the information required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Canadian customs authorities, and other applicable government agencies. You will review clearance requests, customs entries, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, packing lists, bills of lading, air waybills, and supporting documentation to ensure product descriptions, classifications, values, origin, quantities, and consignee details are complete and accurate.

Manage audits and resolve compliance issues. You will coordinate and manage customs audits and act as a knowledgeable point of contact when working directly with customs authorities. You will monitor and audit internal customs processes, identify discrepancies or compliance risks, and work with internal teams and external partners to resolve issues. Where corrections are required following clearance, you will prepare, coordinate, or support amended customs documentation.

Build processes across teams and systems. You will partner closely with Shipping and Logistics, Finance, Operations, customs brokers, and other stakeholders to understand how products move through the business and develop practical customs processes that work across teams. You will help determine how customs documentation and information should flow through our ERP and automated systems, supporting accurate and efficient document generation.

Expand our global customs capability. Your initial priority will be Canada-U.S. trade, particularly exports from Canada into the U.S. As our customs processes mature, you will expand your focus to imports from China into Canada and the U.S., shipments involving Mexico, and other international markets. When entering new jurisdictions, you will know how to research and interpret the customs, classification, tariff, and documentation requirements needed to move products compliantly.
