** Compliance Manager — ATF / NFA / ITAR
**** Travelers Rest, SC | Full-Time | Onsite  Base Salary: 100K–110K + 13% Variable Compensation
**** Have you actually owned firearms or regulated-manufacturing compliance — not just worked somewhere that had a compliance department?
** Do you know how to take a changing regulation, determine what it means to the business, turn it into an operating procedure, train the organization on it, and make sure people actually follow it?

If so, check this out.##
** What’s the job?
** We’re partnering with a growing U.S. manufacturer in the firearms and defense space that is looking for a
** Compliance Manager to own its regulatory compliance function**.This is not a paperwork-processing role and it is not a position for someone whose experience has primarily been following someone else’s compliance procedures.

You’ll be responsible for leading firearm regulatory compliance and risk management surrounding
** ATF, National Firearms Act (NFA), ITAR, export controls, DoD requirements, serialized products, licensing and distribution**. The company’s existing job description specifically calls for ownership of firearm regulatory policy, ATF/NFA interaction, internal audits, physical product controls and the ongoing revision of compliance procedures as regulations change.

The company already has a strong Compliance Administrator. They need the person above that function who can set the standard, interpret the rules and own the program.##
** What will you actually be doing?
** You’ll be the internal authority on regulatory compliance across manufacturing and distribution.

That means:
* Owning compliance related to
** ATF, NFA, ITAR, export licensing and applicable DoD requirements
*** Serving as a
** Responsible Person on the company’s license
*** Working directly with the
** ATF, NFA branches, law enforcement and other regulatory bodies
*** Ensuring accurate
** ATF forms, Bound Book records and transaction records for serialized inventory
*** Monitoring legislative, regulatory and judicial developments affecting production, distribution, transfer and export
* Translating regulatory changes into practical policies, procedures and work instructions
* Developing and maintaining internal compliance controls
* Training employees and operational teams
* Conducting internal audits of processes, documentation and physical product controls
* Preparing for and helping lead ATF or other regulatory audits
* Managing the company’s Compliance Administrator
* Partnering closely with manufacturing, shipping/receiving, inventory, supply chain, finance and executive leadership
* Supporting import/export requirements, rules of origin and government/DoD contracting activity

Those ATF forms, Bound Book requirements, serialized inventory controls, regulatory monitoring and supervision responsibilities are all specifically part of the existing position.##
** Here’s the important part
** This company does
** not
* * want a compliance cop whose answer to every question is “no.”They want somebody who understands that compliance exists to protect the company
** and allow the business to operate successfully inside the rules**.You should be comfortable assessing risk, explaining it to leadership and helping the organization find a compliant path forward.

The company describes this as delivering **“pragmatic, risk-based direction.”**##
** What do you need?**###
** The strongest candidates will have:
*** 5+ years of regulatory/compliance experience within
** firearms, suppressors, ammunition, defense manufacturing or another highly regulated manufacturing environment
*** Direct experience with
** ATF and/or NFA-regulated products
*** Experience
** owning
* * a compliance program or meaningful portions of one
