- Contribute to global trade compliance initiatives by sharing regional risks, trends, and best practices.
- Review contracts, order terms, and logistics arrangements (e.g. Incoterms) to ensure compliance and recommend amendments where needed.

- Lead day to day import and export compliance across Europe and the Middle East, ensuring adherence to EU/UK and applicable EMEA customs regulations.
- Partner with Supply Chain, Logistics, and external brokers/forwarders to ensure accurate customs declarations, documentation, and clearance.
- Own and maintain product trade data, including HS/HTS classification, country of origin, preference, duties, and tariffs.
- Advise on commercial terms and routing impacting cross border movements, resolving customs issues, holds, and exceptions.
- Manage export licence applications, renewals, and conditions; support export controls compliance, including sanctions, denied party screening, and end use/end user due diligence.
- Support internal and external audits, including evidence preparation, remediation, and follow up actions.
Privacy & Data Protection
- Support the regional delivery of Bray’s global data privacy program, including policies, training, and awareness.
- Maintain privacy governance documentation (e.g. RoPA, DPIAs/PIAs) and support DSAR responses.
- Assist with investigation and response to suspected data breaches and coordinate corrective actions.
- Collaborate with global and regional privacy stakeholders to ensure consistency and monitor regulatory developments.
What We’re Looking For
- BA / BSc degree or higher.
- 5+ years’ experience in trade compliance with hands on import/export operations, customs processes, and cross border logistics within a manufacturing or other regulated environment.
- Strong working knowledge of EU/UK customs and trade requirements (e.g., import/export documentation, HS classification, origin, Incoterms, tariffs/duties) and familiarity with export controls concepts (e.g., licensing and screening); working knowledge of GDPR/data privacy is beneficial.
- Strong organisational and project management skills; able to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
