We are looking for highly skilled and motivated compliance lawyer with a focus on trade compliance to be based at any of our offices in Mahwah (NJ), USA, or Stockholm or Göteborg, Sweden.

What you'll do

We offer you a role in a fast-paced, dynamic, and international environment, providing the opportunity to support complex trade compliance matters. In this position, you will be responsible for maintaining, enhancing, and monitoring the implementation of the trade compliance program. This includes staying up-to-date with changes in relevant laws, analyzing their impact on the company, and adjusting the compliance program as needed.

You will provide expert legal advice and guidance on matters related to trade compliance, with a particular focus on sanctions and export controls. Additionally, you will conduct due diligence and risk assessments to ensure the company remains compliant. You will also liaise with relevant sanctions and export control authorities and governmental bodies, ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements.

Furthermore, you will lead various improvement projects, either independently or in collaboration with others, and will be responsible for developing and delivering training and communication on trade compliance matters within the organization.

In addition to your compliance expertise, you will need experience in drafting and reviewing commercial agreements and participating in negotiations. You should also be able to assess the legal landscape, particularly in light of complex geopolitical dynamics, and translate these insights into actionable steps that drive business value.

You must be capable of interpreting laws and regulations and translating them into actionable items for a large organization. Communication skills are essential, with the ability to clearly explain legal concepts to both legal and non-legal colleagues at all organizational levels, both in writing and verbally.

The role demands independence, teamwork, and a high level of integrity. Building trust and maintaining relationships with colleagues throughout Volvo Cars is key. Fluency in English is required.
