## About the role

Nominal's Legal & Security team keeps our platform, our people, and our customers' data on the right side of U.S. trade controls. Our software runs inside defense programs and handles export-controlled technical data across cloud, on-prem, and air-gapped environments, so trade compliance shapes how we build, sell, and deploy. As a Global Trade Compliance Specialist, you'll shape and lead our trade compliance program, deciding which risks to tackle first as we grow into new programs, partners, and markets. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years on a risk, compliance, or trade compliance team, including time building or scaling a trade compliance program
- Deep expertise in ITAR and EAR, including licenses, agreements, and classification decisions where the answer isn't obvious
- Strong understanding of how trade controls overlap with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) and information security requirements
- Eligibility to work with export-controlled materials
- A track record of leading cross-functional compliance work across legal, engineering, and commercial teams
- Sound judgment under ambiguity: you weigh competing options, make the call, and explain it clearly to leaders and non-specialists
