What you need

  • Substantive, hands-on experience leading an economic sanctions compliance program (OFAC, EU, UK, and other applicable regimes) in a commercial environment, including program design, policy ownership, and risk governance
  • Experience managing voluntary self-disclosures, blocking or reject reports, and other regulator filings end to end, including coordinating counsel, internal stakeholders, and remediation
  • Experience assessing sanctions risk on an ongoing basis and owning the remediation of identified issues and delivery of program enhancements through to closure
  • Experience governing a restricted-party screening program, including list scope, match thresholds, escalation criteria, and screening vendor management
  • A track record of reporting on program health and risk to senior leadership, an audit committee, or a board, and of driving decisions on risk appetite with executives
  • Working knowledge of US export controls (EAR and BIS rules) sufficient to oversee an export controls program and partner effectively with technical subject-matter experts

Nice to have

  • 10+ years of relevant experience in economic sanctions compliance, including several years leading a program or team
  • Experience managing and developing compliance professionals
  • Experience conducting sanctions diligence for acquisitions, vendors, and third parties, including state-ownership and 50 percent rule analysis
  • Experience partnering with trust and safety, enforcement, or threat intelligence teams on account actions and sanctions escalations
  • Exposure to sanctions compliance in software, cloud, fintech, or AI contexts, including globally accessible platforms and downstream access risk

What you get

  • Competitive compensation
  • Generous vacation and parental leave
  • Flexible working hours
  • Lovely office space for collaboration
  • Optional equity donation matching

Worth weighing

  • No specific mention of remote work flexibility beyond the requirement to be in the office at least 3 days a week
  • Role involves navigating complex and evolving regulatory environments, which may require adaptability
  • The position requires independent judgment on issues without clear precedent, which may be challenging for some candidates
