Studio 1414 is a small, hands-on team moving authentic Japanese food into the United States. We're looking for bilingual, detail-driven people who want to own real work across trade, compliance, and growth.
We're not a large corporation where you handle one narrow slice. Here you'll touch the whole journey — sourcing in Japan, clearing U.S. customs, growing a brand on the shelf. If you want to learn international trade end to end and see your work reach real customers, this is the place.
We operate fluently in English and Japanese, translating not just language but business practice across two markets.
Small team, big scope. You'll own outcomes and make decisions, not wait for layers of approval.
We represent real producers and real craft. Care, accuracy, and integrity matter in everything we ship.
Coordinate sourcing, shipping, customs, and warehousing. Keep goods flowing from Japanese producers to U.S. inventory — the operational heartbeat of the company.
Own FDA registration, FSVP programs, and labeling review. Keep every supplier audit-ready and every shipment compliant.
Grow our brands across Amazon, Shopify, and social. Turn authentic Japanese products into U.S. demand with content, listings, and campaigns.
Build wholesale and foodservice accounts, and nurture relationships with Japanese manufacturers seeking a U.S. partner.
Learn international food trade hands-on across operations, compliance, and marketing. Ideal for bilingual students and early-career candidates.
Exposure to the full trade cycle — sourcing, compliance, logistics, and sales — rarely available in one role.
Work daily across Japanese and American business cultures and grow genuinely cross-border skills.
Hybrid options, mentorship, and room to grow as the company and its trade volume expand.
