About Kaeros

Kaeros Global Trading is a Vancouver-based food import, export and trade company.

We're the Importer of Record for our products under Canada's food safety regulations (SFCR). We work closely with suppliers in Korea, Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines, and with retail partners across Canada.

We're a small team, so this role has real ownership. You'll keep our day-to-day operations organized and on schedule.

Administration

- Keep our shared drive organized, with consistent naming, folders, and version control
- Find and prepare files, documents, and reports when requested

- Help with scheduling, meeting prep, and general office administration

Bookkeeping support

- Enter bills, invoices, and expenses into our accounting software
- Help with basic reconciliations and keep financial records organized for our external accountant

What we're looking for

- 2+ years of experience in an administrative, operations, or coordinator role
- Fluent in English, written and spoken (required)
- Solid organizational skills and attention to detail. You notice when a date, number, or document doesn't line up.
- Comfortable with Google Workspace and able to learn new tools quickly
- Basic bookkeeping knowledge; experience with QuickBooks, Xero, or similar is a plus
- A proactive, reliable working style. You follow up without being asked.

Assets

- Business-level Korean, Japanese, or Mandarin
- Experience in import/export, logistics, food, or consumer products
- Familiarity with shipping documents (commercial invoices, bills of lading, packing lists)
- Experience with Amazon Vendor Central, EDI, or retail PO and chargeback processes

What we offer

- Salary of $60,000–$70,000, based on experience
- Direct exposure to international trade and cross-border retail
- Extended Health Benefits
- A close-knit team where your work is visible and valued
- Room to grow as the company expands

Because we work with partners in Asia, you'll occasionally need to send emails early in the morning or in the evening. We plan for this with flexibility.
