Is your passion inspired by invention? Is problem solving through teamwork in your DNA? Do you like the idea of seeing how your work affects the bigger picture? Answer yes to any of these and you will fit right in here at Amazon Robotics (AR). We are a smart team of doers that work passionately to apply innovative advances in robotics and software to solve real-world challenges that will transform our customers’ experiences in ways we cannot even image yet. We invent new improvements every day. We are Amazon Robotics and we will give you the tools and support you need to invent with us in ways that are rewarding, fulfilling and fun.

The Robotics Trade Supply Chain Controls (RTSCC) team is seeking a Global Trade Compliance Program Manager who thrives in ambiguity and enjoys tackling large-scale, complex challenges in a fast-paced, startup-like setting. This is a high-impact role at the intersection of global trade regulation, supply chain operations, and robotics innovation.

As a single threaded leader, you will be responsible for developing and executing the global strategy for product classification (HTS, ECCN) across Amazon Robotics' expanding product portfolio.

Key job responsibilities

• Develop and execute the global product classification strategy for HTS and ECCN across all Amazon Robotics product lines, from concept through General Availability (GA).

• Proactively identify and drive automation, simplification, and process improvement initiatives.
• Effectively navigate trade-offs and priorities, ensuring we prioritize the right work to achieve business objectives.
• Develop, document, and maintain operational processes and procedures.
• Work across organizations (engineering, commodity management, transportation, tax, and legal) to drive partner and customer solutions to meet immediate needs and achieve shared objectives. This requires a balance of compliance requirements against business costs, supply chain strategy, delivery timelines, and legal risks.
• Build communications and training plans to ensure all internal and external partners are aware and aligned to trade compliance governance processes.
