- Develop and implement a comprehensive UK/EU export control program, ensuring compliance with the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) for shipments into Europe and other regions.
- Provide expert guidance on US export regulations (ITAR and EAR) as they apply to the company's technology and supply chain.
- Develop and implement global trade compliance policies, conduct risk assessments, and manage all necessary licenses, record-keeping, and reporting.
- Chair the internal Export Controls Committee to ensure executive oversight, developing and executing company-wide training on security protocols, export control responsibilities, and secure handling of sensitive technology.
- Monitor and interpret evolving legislation and security requirements across all relevant jurisdictions and advise leadership on potential impacts.
