• Maintain auditable classification records, citations, and decision trees; update item master data in ERP/PLM.

Trade Compliance Support

• Escalate potential red flags, end-use/end-user risks, and sanctions concerns to Trade Compliance leadership.

Data Management & Governance

• Build and maintain high-quality classification data sets; ensure data consistency, version control, and traceability across systems.

• Partner with Engineering, Product Management, Sourcing, and Operations to collect technical specifications and correct gaps.

• Drive continuous data quality improvements (e.g., normalization, enrichment, control attribute completeness).

• Support audits and inquiries (internal/external) with complete, well-documented classification files.

QUALIFICATIONS

Requirements

• Fluent English (written and spoken) with the ability to produce precise, professional documentation.

• Strong data management skills: demonstrated experience maintaining structured datasets, ensuring data quality, and using productivity/analytics tools (e.g., Excel with advanced functions, Power Query, or similar).

Preferred Qualifications

• 1–3+ years of international trade compliance experience (classification under HTS/HS and CCL/ECCN for products, software, and technology).

• Exposure to EU dual-use and UK export control regimes; awareness of multilateral control lists (e.g., Wassenaar).

• Familiarity with ERP/PLM environments (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Siemens Teamcenter) and item master governance.

• Experience with visualization/BI tools (e.g., Power BI/Tableau) for compliance reporting and data quality monitoring.
