Interface with government agencies (Global Affairs Canada, CBSA, DDTC, BIS) and report issues or investigations.

Support logistics and operations teams with day-to-day Trade Compliance advice and escalation handling.

Continuously track and interpret regulatory updates affecting Trade Compliance and export law.
