We are the builders. We are the Wayfinders.\nBedrock is mapping the unseen world beneath our oceans and building the systems to do it at scale.\nEvery map we make starts with a pallet on a dock. Our Ops Kits - the autonomous vehicles, sensors, batteries, spares, and tooling that make a survey possible - move constantly between Richmond and the water, wherever that water happens to be. A kit that clears customs in a day instead of a week is the difference between a survey that runs and a survey that slips.\nWe're hiring our first Global Logistics Specialist to own that entirely.\nThis is a builder role. You will own the worldwide movement of Bedrock's equipment and every shipment that goes out of, or comes into, our Richmond facility. Much of what this function needs doesn't exist yet, and you'll build it: the tracking, the customs playbook, the dangerous goods program, the carrier relationships, the standards that let us ship into a country we've never shipped into before and have it go smoothly the first time.\nWe operate mostly across the US, UK, and EU today. That footprint is growing, and this role grows with it - with a clear path to Logistics Manager, and a team, as our global operations expand.\nWhat You'll Do\nThis role lives in the details and protects the whole operation. Nothing leaves this building unaccounted for, and nothing arrives late because someone didn't check.\nWorldwide Ops Kit Logistics\nOwn the global movement of Bedrock's equipment, including Ops Kits, end to end:\nPlan and execute shipments to and from job sites anywhere we operate\n\nKnow where every kit and every case is, at all times, without having to go look\n\nBuild in the lead time, the contingency, and the backup plan before anyone asks for one\n\nSolve the hard shipping problems:\nA part needed on the other side of the world in 48 hours\n\nA kit held at a border with a survey window closing\n\nA route into a country we haven't shipped to before\n\nInternational Shipping, Customs & Compliance\nOwn international shipping end to end:\nCarnets, commercial invoices, HS classification, and customs documentation that clears the first time\n\nEvaluate, recommend, and negotiate with freight forwarders and carriers\n\nManage carrier performance once selected, and hold them to it\n\nBe Bedrock's authority on import and export rules:\nStay current across the jurisdictions we operate in, and get smart fast on the ones we're entering\n\nNavigate ITAR and export-controlled shipments correctly, working with our government and defense programs\n\nKeep us compliant without letting compliance become the reason something is late\n\nOwn dangerous goods shipping:\nShip lithium batteries and other dangerous goods correctly, safely, and on schedule\n\nMaintain the certifications, packaging standards, and documentation that keep us moving\n\nShipping & Receiving\nOwn all shipping and receiving for the company from our Richmond facility:\nPack it so it arrives in the same condition it left\n\nReceive, inspect, and route everything that comes through the door\n\nKeep the shipping and receiving area organized, labeled, and easy to work in\n\nBuilding the Function\nDesign the systems that don't exist yet:\nShipment tracking and visibility\n\nCustoms and documentation playbooks by country\n\nDangerous goods and export-control procedures\n\nCarrier scorecards, cost benchmarks, and lead-time standards\n\nScale it all as our footprint expands beyond the US, UK, and EU\n\nKeep everyone informed:\nProduction, operations, and leadership always know what's shipped, what's landed, and what's at risk\n\nWho You Are\nYou're an early-to-mid-career logistics professional who wants to own a function outright and build it into something excellent.\nYou've moved complicated things across borders under real deadlines, and you have a point of view about how it should be done.\nExperience\n3-5+ years of hands-on logistics, shipping and receiving, or supply chain work\n\nInternational shipping experience, including ATA carnets and customs clearance\n\nWorking knowledge of international import and export rules and regulations\n\nDangerous goods shipping experience; lithium battery experience strongly preferred\n\nExperience with ITAR and export-controlled shipments\n\nEstablished relationships with major international carriers and freight forwarders\n\nNice to have:\nDangerous Goods Shipping Certificate\n\nITAR Certification\n\nExperience supporting hardware, robotics, or field equipment logistics\n\nExperience building or materially improving a logistics function at an early-stage company\n\nHow You Operate\nYour attention to detail is extraordinary. You notice the crooked sign, the wrong label, the mail carrier running late\n\nYou are a planner. You think three shipments ahead and you know where everything is and how to find it\n\nYou can pack and ship anything. It arrives on time and in excellent shape\n\nYou finish what you start. Nothing sits half-done\n\nYou are obsessive about communication. People never have to ask you for a status\n\nYou do whatever it takes, including the occasional night or weekend, when a shipment or a deadline demands it\n\nYou use tools and AI to increase speed, accuracy, and leverage\n\nWhat You Care About\nYou want to build a function, not inherit one\n\nYou take pride in craft, precision, and getting it right\n\nYou like being in the room, in the warehouse, hands on the boxes\n\nYou have some connection to the ocean - professional, academic, or personal - or you're excited to be around people who dive, sail, build, and explore offshore\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nEquipment arrives where it's needed, on time, intact, every time\n\nCustoms is a solved problem, not a recurring emergency\n\nDangerous goods move on schedule, safely and correctly, every time\n\nWe can ship into a new country without it becoming a project\n\nNobody has to ask where a shipment is\n\nNot a Fit If…\nYou want a planning or coordination role without hands-on ownership\n\nYou prefer a large, structured environment with established processes and a team around you\n\nYou'd rather not be on the floor, packing, receiving, and organizing\n\nYou're uncomfortable being the only person who owns this\n\nYou're looking for remote or low-collaboration work\n\nRequirements\nAbility to work on-site in Richmond, CA\n\nAbility to obtain and maintain a U.S. Secret security clearance if required\n\nAble and willing to travel up to 15% of the time, including to international locations\n\nValid passport, and the ability to obtain visas for the countries we operate in\n\nCompensation: The base salary range for this role is $100,000- $145,000 per year plus equity. Final compensation is determined by factors such as the candidate's experience, skills, and qualifications.\nIf you want to build the logistics backbone of a company exploring the ocean, we should talk.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6796,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":true,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Logistics","Geological Survey","Underwater & Marine Robotics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-12T10:59:38Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":25,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.546,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":145000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/bedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:56Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":8044,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":176571},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=176571"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fbedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fbedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fbedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/bedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fbedrock-ocean-global-logistics-specalist"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":815097}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"bedrockocean.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":815097},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
