• Conduct periodic TCP assessments and support internal audits to validate controls are working as designed.

• Maintain TCP documentation, evidence, and records retention in alignment with company policy and regulatory expectations.

• Assist with tracking and maintaining requirements for big IT projects

Program Support & Continuous Improvement

• Support the Export Compliance Manager with reporting, metrics, process mapping, and SOP/work instruction updates.
• Assist with export compliance training and awareness efforts-especially as they relate to deemed exports and technology controls.
• Participate in compliance reviews for new hires, interns, contractors, and visitors where controlled technology may be involved.
• Help identify opportunities to simplify workflows, improve cycle times, and enhance data quality while maintaining compliance.

• 2 - 4 years of experience in export compliance, trade compliance, HR compliance, security compliance, or related operational compliance role.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Clear, professional communication skills (written and verbal) with comfort working cross-functionally.

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Experience with deemed export licensing and/or Technology Control Plans.
• Familiarity with export classification concepts (ECCNs), controlled technology assessments, and/or technology release analysis.
