Careers

Work that challenges you. A team that supports you.

Where Expertise Finds Its Purpose.

The best people in global trade don't just move freight — they solve problems, manage risk, and build relationships that hold up under pressure. That's the standard we hold ourselves to at CVI, and it's the kind of team we're building.

We're a family-owned freight forwarder and customs brokerage based in Norfolk, Virginia. We've spent decades earning the trust of clients across complex, high-stakes industries. If you're looking for work that challenges you and a team that takes it seriously, you're in the right place.

A Culture Built on How We Work.

CVI was founded on the belief that trust is earned through how you work — not just what you deliver. That belief shapes everything: how we serve clients, how we make decisions, and how we treat the people on our team.

We're a family-owned freight forwarder and customs brokerage, and we've built a team that takes the work seriously without losing sight of the people doing it. Our core values aren't aspirational. They're operational.

That same culture extends to Capes Shipping Agencies, our vessel agency affiliate. If you're drawn to the maritime side of global trade, opportunities exist there as well.

“I am surrounded by coworkers and management who care about their jobs and our clients, and it reflects positively. As an employee, I feel I’m not just a body doing the work required of me, but someone who is treated as an asset to the company. I am asked for thoughts, ideas and opinions and I truly feel I am heard by the action that is taken. I am given opportunities to participate in events outside of the office, representing the company and supporting the community.”

Invested in Our People

We're family-owned, and growth here isn't theoretical. People who do good work are noticed, developed, and given more responsibility — not lost in a large organization where advancement depends on tenure alone. Decisions about our people aren't made by a distant board chasing quarterly numbers. They're made by leadership who knows your name and has a stake in your success.

That sense of connection extends beyond the office. Our team shows up for one another and for the communities we work in, and we believe the people who give their best at work deserve room to also show up for the rest of their lives.

We invest in our people the same way we invest in our clients, with intention. Our benefits package reflects that, supporting you professionally and personally at every stage of your career — including:

  • Competitive Benefits: Health, dental, vision, life & disability, 401(k) with matching, and more.
  • Bonus Plan: Discretionary bonus plans to share in our company's success.
  • Wellbeing: Flexible schedules, telecommuting opportunities, and discounted gym memberships.
  • Growth: Tuition reimbursement and encouragement to pursue continued education.
