Job Description

International Trade Compliance & Security Manager

A growing aerospace/technology manufacturer is seeking a seasoned professional to lead its global trade compliance programs and support site-level security initiatives. This position serves as the organization’s primary authority on U.S. export regulations and plays a key role in ensuring compliant, secure, and efficient international business operations.

This is a strategic leadership role—not an entry-level position—and is ideal for someone who enjoys shaping policy, partnering cross-functionally, and guiding a company through complex regulatory environments.

What This Role Will Own

Export & Trade Compliance Leadership

  • Act as the site’s designated regulatory authority with the ability to approve or halt export activity in accordance with U.S. laws.
  • Interpret and apply ITAR, EAR, OFAC, and other export-related regulations to daily operations.
  • Prepare, submit, and manage export authorizations, including TAAs and licenses from BIS and DDTC.
  • Lead product and technology classification efforts (ECCN / USML / HTS / Schedule B).
  • Assess and mitigate risks associated with global customers, partners, and end-use applications.
  • Maintain internal policies, Technology Control Plans, compliance workflows, and documentation.
  • Deliver regular training to teams such as Engineering, Sales, Operations, Shipping, and Supply Chain.

International Shipping & Logistics Compliance

  • Oversee all export documentation and ensure shipments meet U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements.
  • Validate product classifications, values, and origin declarations.
  • Collaborate with freight forwarders, brokers, and internal teams to ensure smooth and compliant transport.
  • Support Free Trade Agreement eligibility reviews and associated recordkeeping.
  • Work with Planning, Finance, and Supply Chain to ensure ERP accuracy and transaction integrity.

Compliance Risk Reduction & Cross-Functional Support

  • Participate in audits, internal reviews, and investigations related to export or security issues.
  • Partner with Legal, IT, and senior leadership on policy enhancements and process improvements.
  • Stay current with regulatory updates and implement timely procedural changes.
  • Monitor compliance metrics and proactively report risk areas to leadership.

(Additional Scope) Industrial Security Program Participation

This may be part of the role depending on background.

  • Support security-related requirements under NISPOM.
  • Assist with clearance processing (e-QIP, DISS/JPAS), classified material handling, and communication with DCSA.
  • Provide ongoing industrial security training for site personnel.

What Makes Someone a Strong Match

  • Bachelor’s degree in a discipline such as International Business, Law, Engineering, or similar.
  • 7–10 years of professional experience in export compliance, trade operations, or related regulatory fields.
  • Must meet the definition of a U.S. Person under 22 CFR 120.62 and be able to obtain/maintain a security clearance.
  • Prior experience as an Empowered Official under ITAR is strongly preferred.
  • Exposure to NISPOM requirements and/or willingness to operate as an FSO.
  • Clear and confident communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP preferred) or trade compliance tools.
  • Aerospace/defense experience is highly desirable.
  • Certifications such as CECP, CISSP, or similar are a plus.
  • Ability to function effectively in a highly regulated, deadline-driven environment.
