Global Logistics & Trade Compliance Manager

About the Role

Our client is seeking a highly skilled Global Logistics & Trade Compliance Manager to lead global shipping operations, routing standards, and international trade compliance across facilities in Irvine, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Amsterdam. This role ensures that all inbound, outbound, and intercompany shipments move efficiently, cost-effectively, and in full alignment with U.S. and international trade regulations.

The ideal candidate will serve as the organization’s subject matter expert in logistics execution and trade compliance, with deep knowledge of export controls, ECCN / HTS classification, documentation governance, denied-party screening, and customs requirements. This leader will own routing guides, negotiate carrier agreements, oversee customs broker relationships, drive KPI performance, and lead continuous improvement initiatives centered on shipment visibility, OTIF, compliance accuracy, and operational excellence.

• Ensure compliance with U.S. and international regulations, including export controls, denied-party screening, ECCN / HTS classification, commercial documentation integrity, and record retention
• Maintain subject-matter expertise on global trade laws, regulatory updates, tariff changes, valuation rules, and customs requirements — translating changes into policy, SOP, and operational controls
• Conduct internal compliance audits covering classification accuracy, restricted-party vetting, routing, document standards, licensing needs, and broker performance
• Lead documentation governance for commercial invoices, packing lists, COO templates, AES / EEI filings, valuation statements, and declarations supporting customs clearance and audit readiness
• Train cross-functional teams on Incoterms, compliance controls, documentation, valuation standards, and international shipping requirements
• Manage customs brokers and freight forwarders, ensuring execution accuracy, tariff alignment, cost transparency, and corrective-action follow-up
• Translate regulatory risks into mitigation strategies, flag high-risk shipments, maintain pre-clearance controls, and drive reduction of customs holds, exceptions, and audit findings
