What we’re building

Every idea starts with a problem. Ours was simple: Boats are special — but they’re loud, pollutant, unreliable, and stuck in the past. Gas-powered boats dominate not because they’re great, but because no better option has existed. Until now.

Arc is here to change that. We’re building 100% electric boats from the ground up — quicker, quieter, easier to maintain, and better for the water they ride on. We’re not just swapping gas for batteries. We’re rethinking every detail on the boat — from propulsion and powertrain to software and ownership model — applying first-principles engineering from aerospace and EVs to deliver a better boating experience.

Electric boats haven’t taken over yet. The tech hasn’t been ready. The talent hasn’t been focused here. That’s our opportunity — and we’re moving fast.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who’s fired up by our mission and ready to build. You’ll thrive here if you take ownership of domestic and international freight, move with urgency and accuracy, and care deeply about reliable follow-through. You’ll manage carriers and forwarders, track shipments, resolve production-critical issues, and stay aware of landed cost impact.

This is a full-time, on-site role at our Los Angeles headquarters. You’ll report to Sr Manager, Supply Chain and work closely with a lean, high-trust team where everyone’s work matters.

Core responsibilities

• Owning day-to-day execution of inbound and outbound logistics to ensure materials arrive on time and in the correct condition to support production.
• Coordinating domestic and international shipments, including carrier selection, booking, tracking, and issue resolution.
• Preparing, reviewing, and maintaining logistics documentation including commercial invoices, packing lists, HTS classifications, and customs paperwork.
• Partnering with customs brokers and freight forwarders to ensure compliant, cost-effective imports and exports.
• Monitoring shipments proactively, identify risks (delays, holds, damages, compliance gaps), and drive resolution before production is impacted.

Basic qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent hands-on experience in logistics or supply chain
• 2+ years of experience managing domestic and international freight in a manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated experience coordinating LTL, FTL, air, and ocean shipments
• Working knowledge of shipping, customs documentation, and Incoterms and how commercial terms impact cost, risk, and lead time
• Proficient using basic computer tools such as spreadsheets, email, and shared documentation systems
• Strong communication skills with suppliers, freight forwarders, and internal teams
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through on tasks

Bonus qualifications

• Experience tracking freight spend and identifying cost reduction opportunities
• Comfortable pushing a fast but sustainable pace
• Enthusiasm for boating and clean energy

At Arc, we encourage diversity and consider all qualified applicants equally for employment, regardless of background, identity, or status. You’re always welcome to reach out even if you don’t meet many of these qualifications. Passion and aptitude make up for a lot.
