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).
- Own critical compliance gates throughout the Product Development Process (PDP): initial ECCN/HTS assessment, full BOM classification, export readiness validation, and post-entry compliance monitoring
- 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.
