About this role

Job Description: Under designated supervision as part of the early morning stocking crew, performs a variety of duties, primarily physical in nature in the unloading, segregating, staging, transportation, and replenishing of merchandise.
Additional Qualifications/Requirements: SOFA RELATED REQUIREMENTS/ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS: Applications will be accepted from locally available U.S. citizens who do not have dual Japanese and U.S. citizenship. U.S. citizens who have either permanent or temporary Japanese residency (i.e. “zairyu card” holders) will be required to have their Japanese residency status cancelled as a condition of being employed in an Exchange U.S. payroll position that results in the applicant having “SOFA status” under Article I.(b) of the U.S. – Japan Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). With “SOFA status” the selectee will be exempt from Japanese taxes on income earned from the Exchange, enjoy duty-free purchase privileges at the Exchange and Commissary as well as other benefits arising from having “SOFA status.” Having “SOFA status,” however, also means the selectee will represent the United States in Japan in a quasi-Ambassadorial role. The selectee will thus need to ensure that they consistently conduct themselves in a manner that does not reflect negatively on the United States, the United States Forces, Japan, or the Exchange. That in turn means that the selectee will be held accountable for off-base misconduct – and in particular off-base criminal misconduct. The selectee must understand and accept that while the facts of each case that arises will be reviewed individually, off-base criminal misconduct will often result in separation for cause.
RESUME REQUIREMENTS: In compliance with President Trump’s Executive Order 13932, the Okinawa Exchange will only review applications from candidates whose resume is 2 pages or less.
