Our client is seeking a Director of Global Compliance to lead its North American compliance team and support air, ocean, and domestic transportation operations. This person will oversee transportation and trade compliance programs and advise operations leaders when regulatory questions affect shipments or customer commitments.

The role combines team leadership and program oversight with day-to-day involvement in the business. The Director will help operations teams resolve time-sensitive issues, determine when freight can move or needs to be held, and build procedures and training that teams can apply consistently across locations.

Lead and develop the North American compliance team, set priorities, and provide timely guidance on shipment issues and complex regulatory questions.

Oversee compliance programs covering air cargo security, export controls, sanctions, dangerous goods, and other transportation and trade requirements, including DOT, FDA, FMC, and CTPAT.

Coordinate government inspections, investigations, corrective actions, and voluntary disclosures. Lead internal audits and report monthly compliance metrics to identify recurring issues and track improvements.

Develop and maintain policies, operating procedures, internal controls, and training that reflect how freight moves through the business.

Manage third-party risk, support supplier vetting and contracting, and maintain required company licenses and registrations.

Partner with operations, legal, and other business leaders to carry out the global compliance strategy. Support customer conversations when regulatory guidance is needed and identify opportunities to reduce manual work through technology.

Qualifications

Direct freight forwarding experience or substantial experience working alongside forwarding teams and helping resolve shipment-level compliance issues. Familiarity with air, ocean, and domestic freight operations is essential.

Direct experience with export controls and U.S. air cargo security, including the Indirect Air Carrier and Certified Cargo Screening programs.

Experience overseeing compliance programs, developing internal controls, and advising operations leaders on regulatory decisions under tight deadlines.

Bachelor’s degree required. A JD or relevant advanced credential is highly preferred.

Compensation and Benefits

The expected base salary is $180,000 to $220,000, and may vary based on geography as well as relative knowledge, skills, abilities, and particularly strong freight forwarding compliance leadership experience. Benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage, a 401(k), paid time off, paid parental leave, and tuition reimbursement.
