About this job
The Prime Air Team is looking for an experienced trade leader who will shape global trade compliance policies, drive export control initiatives, and build scalable trade capabilities as the Prime Air drone delivery program grows.
This is a high-impact role for someone who sees compliance as a business enabler, not a gatekeeper. You'll work at the intersection of advanced drone delivery technology and complex international trade regulations, building export compliance solutions from the ground up as Prime Air expands into new markets.
Key job responsibilities
- Own and scale Prime Air's global export compliance program — shape policies, processes, and work instructions that keep pace with a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape (EAR, ITAR, EU Dual-Use, and non-US regimes)
- Provide deep subject matter expertise on US and international export controls, classification (ECCN/USML), licensing, technology transfer, and deemed exports
- Drive automation and innovative solutions to streamline export compliance at scale — you'll build, not just maintain
- Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Operations, Procurement, Supply Chain, Legal, Tax, Public Policy, and Global Trade Services to embed compliance into business processes
- Own leadership communications, metrics, and executive reporting — translate complex regulatory risk into clear business narratives
- Manage external regulatory relationships and escalations including government filings, voluntary disclosures, and broker oversight
