Prepare and submit Commodity Classification requests (CCATS) to BIS and Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) requests to DDTC as needed.

Manage and monitor use of license exceptions and ensure compliance with associated conditions and record-keeping requirements. Coordinate Technology Control Plans (TCPs) for controlled technology and deemed exports. Design, maintain, and implement trade compliance policies, SOPs, and internal controls aligned with BIS, OFAC, and applicable international export control and sanctions regulations. Monitor global export control and sanctions regulatory developments (e.g., Federal Register notices, BIS and OFAC rulemakings, Entity List updates) and assess business impact. Support export control compliance under EU and other non-U.S. regimes, applying Wassenaar and EU Dual-Use. Partner with international stakeholders to ensure consistent global compliance for shipments, technology transfers, and deemed exports across EMEA and APAC. Preferred Qualifications
