About Redwood Materials

Redwood Materials was founded in 2017 by JB Straubel, co-founder and former CTO of Tesla, on a simple but radical idea: the critical minerals powering the energy transition already exist. They just need to come back. Today Redwood is the largest lithium-ion battery recycler in North America — recovering, refining, and redeploying critical minerals from end-of-life batteries back into the supply chain. On the energy side, Redwood has deployed the largest second-life battery project in the world, delivering power to AI data centers in months rather than years using proprietary energy architecture engineered entirely in-house. The company is profitable, the market it operates in is projected to grow 20 to 50 times over the next decade, and Redwood is the only company with the supply chain, the technology, and the operational scale to lead it.

Position Summary The International Export Coordinator executes Redwood Materials’ outbound international shipments end-to-end, from booking through delivery to the foreign consignee. This role owns the day-to-day mechanics of ocean export from Redwood’s U.S. facilities at the Battery Materials Campus (BMC) to customers across Asia and Europe—including booking, the complete export document set, and the Electronic Export Information (EEI) filing behind every shipment. Because Redwood exports battery materials and end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, the position works where dangerous goods rules, transboundary waste controls, and destination-country import requirements intersect. The Coordinator is the operating link between Redwood’s plants, its freight forwarders, customs brokers, and international customers, and is accountable for shipments leaving on the booked vessel with audit-ready documentation.

Responsibilities

• Book and manage ocean export shipments with freight forwarders and non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs)—rate and space confirmation, drayage, container release, port cut-offs, and vessel schedules—from U.S. origins to destination ports across Asia and Europe

• Prepare, verify, and distribute the complete export document set for every shipment: Shipper’s Letter of Instruction (SLI), commercial and pro forma invoices, certificate of origin, packing list, ISPM-15 declaration, dangerous goods declaration, and house bill of lading

• File Electronic Export Information (EEI) in Automated Export System (AES) and AESDirect accurately and within Foreign Trade Regulations (FTR) timelines, resolve fatal errors and compliance alerts, and maintain the correct U.S. Principal Party in Interest (USPPI) and filer-of-record determination on routed and standard export transactions
