The role serves as a subject‑matter expert on export control requirements and provides guidance on classification, licensing, and transaction review, helping the business operate efficiently while mitigating regulatory risk.

What you will be doing:

1. Export Control Governance (Software & Technology)

• Oversee deemed export compliance, including controls on foreign national access to source code, repositories, technical documentation, and production systems.
• Serve as the enterprise authority on U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) as they apply to software, encryption, and dual‑use technology.

2. Sanctions & Restricted‑Party Integration

• Ensure export compliance is fully integrated with sanctions screening and restricted‑party screening programs, including OFAC, EU, UK, UN, and other applicable regimes.
• Establish controls to prevent the export or provision of software and services to sanctioned countries, entities, or individuals, including indirect or cloud‑based access.
• Review and advise on escalations involving export hits (BIS etc) and activity (Cuba, cross-border shipments, shipping companies, etc)

3. Software Export Risk Assessment & Advisory

• Conduct and oversee export risk assessments for new products, features, cloud deployments, acquisitions, and third‑party integrations involving software or technology transfer.
• Advise Engineering, Product, Legal, Security, Sales, and Operations on export‑related risks, licensing requirements, and mitigation strategies throughout the software lifecycle.

4. Licensing, Exceptions & Regulatory Engagement

• Determine when export licenses, license exceptions, or authorizations are required for software exports, re‑exports, or technology releases.
• Act as the primary liaison with export control regulators (e.g., BIS, OFAC) on software‑related inquiries, audits, disclosures, and enforcement matters.

5. Program Controls, Monitoring & Evidence

• Design and oversee controls for software export compliance, including access restrictions, technical safeguards, screening workflows, and audit evidence retention.
• Define and monitor key risk indicators (KRIs) and metrics related to software exports, technology access, and compliance exceptions.

6. Training & Enterprise Enablement

• Develop and deliver role‑based export compliance training for engineering, product, cloud operations, sales, and support teams, with emphasis on software and deemed exports.
• Promote a strong culture of compliance that enables innovation while maintaining regulatory discipline.

7. Leadership & Program Ownership

• Partner closely with Sanctions, Legal, Security, Privacy, and Risk teams to ensure cohesive trade compliance governance.

8. Merchant/Vendor/Client Trade Compliance

• Assess high‑risk MCCs and marketplace business models for potential involvement in the sale or facilitation of controlled or restricted goods, software, or technical services.
• Evaluate onboarding opportunities involving cross‑border commerce, digital platforms, or technology‑enabled services to determine whether enhanced export control diligence, restrictions, or licensing considerations may apply.
• Identify indicators of dual‑use risk, such as end‑use ambiguity, high‑risk jurisdictions, third‑party resellers, or platform structures that obscure the ultimate end user or destination.
• Advise on risk mitigation measures, including transaction restrictions, contractual controls, enhanced monitoring, or escalation for further review when export control or trade sanctions concerns are identified.

What you Bring
