Ensure trade compliance data required for customs filings and regulatory declarations is accurately maintained in internal systems. Apply and refine classification standards, business rules, and escalation processes to support scalable compliance execution. Execute and strengthen internal controls across classification, customs valuation, and free trade agreement eligibility. Conduct internal audits of product classifications, broker filings, and compliance records to identify risks and improve control effectiveness. Partner with sourcing and merchandising teams on tariff engineering, FTA analysis, and upstream decisions impacting compliance outcomes. Collaborate cross‑functionally with operations, logistics, legal, and technology teams to resolve compliance issues and improve data quality. Translate complex regulatory requirements into clear operational workflows, guidance, and system requirements. Support the evolution of trade compliance systems, tooling, and data governance frameworks. Identify process gaps and recurring issues, recommending improvements to enhance scalability, consistency, and compliance integrity. Qualifications Required 12+ years of experience in trade compliance, customs compliance, or global import/export compliance. Strong experience supporting importer‑side compliance programs, either in‑house or through consulting/brokerage. Deep expertise in product classification across multiple product categories and jurisdictions. Strong knowledge of customs valuation principles and practical application in an importer environment. Experience analyzing Free Trade Agreement eligibility and applying origin rules in operational contexts. Strong understanding of U.S. importer obligations, including reasonable care, informed compliance, and audit readiness. Experience conducting internal audits, compliance reviews, or control testing related to trade compliance. Proven ability to independently manage complex, high‑judgment workstreams with minimal oversight. Strong analytical skills and ability to work through complex datasets and regulatory scenarios. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate regulatory requirements into operational guidance. Demonstrated ability to work cross‑functionally across sourcing, merchandising, operations, logistics, technology, and legal. Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment while balancing compliance rigor with business needs. Preferred U.S. Customs Broker License. Experience with duty drawback programs.
