Compliance Manager - Export Control
Compliance Manager – Export Control
The Opportunity
If you're currently firefighting export control queries from the sidelines instead of shaping how they're handled, this role gives you a seat much closer to the centre.
You'll join a central Compliance & Data Protection function and take real ownership of export control and trade compliance for an internationally operating group. You'll work directly with the Chief Compliance Officer, advise stakeholders across multiple business areas, and have genuine influence over how the group-wide compliance management system is built and run.
This isn't a policing role. It's an advisory one, close to the business, with the mandate to shape process rather than just enforce it.
The Role
You'll take the lead on:
Advising on and developing the group-wide compliance management system, with a clear focus on export control and trade compliance.
Supporting departments and group companies on export control, sanctions, customs, and foreign trade law.
Working alongside the Chief Compliance Officer to develop, implement, and monitor compliance policies and controls.
Classifying operational cases that need elevated scrutiny under export control, sanctions, and customs law.
Running compliance and export control risk analyses and putting mitigation measures in place.
Tracking new legal and regulatory requirements and building them into existing processes.
Supporting whistleblower case handling and internal investigations.
Preparing compliance reports for management and committees, and supporting external audits.
Designing and delivering training on compliance, export control, and integrity topics.
You'll be trusted to run with these areas rather than have every decision second-guessed, which means your judgement will genuinely shape outcomes, not just tick boxes.
The Company
Our client is a well-established, internationally operating group with a compliance function that sits centrally and works across the wider business. Export control and trade compliance carry real weight here, not as a formality, but as a function stakeholders actively rely on when navigating complex, cross-border regulatory questions.
What You'll Need
A completed degree in law, business administration, or a comparable qualification.
Several years' experience in export control, customs, and foreign trade law, including hands-on advisory and implementation work.
Experience developing or monitoring a compliance management system within an internationally operating company or law firm.
Excellent German and English, spoken and written.
