experience.* Significant experience in **international trade compliance within a multinational organization**.* Experience leading or managing a trade compliance organization, function, or program.*

related trade requirements.* Demonstrated ability to interpret changing trade regulations and translate them into practical business solutions.* Ability to make and defend sound decisions in situations where information may be incomplete or ambiguous.* Ability to travel domestically and internationally, approximately **10%**.* Must be legally authorized to work in the United States
