• Review and approve export transactions, providing guidance to ensure proper classification, use of authorizations, and compliance with applicable regulatory and company requirements
• Maintain accurate records to support audit readiness and regulatory compliance
• Support development and continuous improvement of export compliance policies, procedures, and tools
• Collaborate with global compliance teams to ensure consistent application of regulatory requirements across regions
• Contribute to compliance projects focused on process optimization, operational efficiency, and risk mitigation
• Engage with U.S. Government agencies
• Provide training and support development of export compliance training materials

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• 58+ years of experience in export compliance, with direct hands-on experience in ITAR and EAR licensing
• Proven ability to independently prepare and manage export authorizations (e.g., DSP-5, DSP-73, Technical Assistance Agreements, BIS licenses)
• Strong understanding of U.S. export control regulations (ITAR and EAR), with demonstrated ability to apply regulatory requirements across multiple stages of the product lifecycle
• Demonstrated experience operating within export compliance policies in a complex regulatory environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to clearly translate regulatory requirements for non-expert stakeholders
• Ability to provide guidance and collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders across a global organization
• Self-motivated, with a strong sense of accountability, ownership, and work ethic
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• This position requires access to technology and/or technical data that is subject to US Export Controls and will require a US Person for this role.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Empowered Official experience
• Experience interacting with U.S. Government agencies (e.g., DoS, DoC)
