Export Control Classification & Licensing

• ECCN Classification:
  Classify UKG hardware products under the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) framework using the Commerce Control List (CCL).
• Maintain classification records and ensure accuracy as products evolve or new products are introduced.
• License Determination:
  Evaluate each export transaction to determine whether a license exception applies or a license application is required.
• Manage license applications to BIS and other agencies as needed.
• Encryption Review:
  Lead EAR encryption reviews for hardware products with cryptographic components; manage annual self-classification reports and submission of encryption registration.
• AES/EEI Filings:
  Ensure accurate and timely Electronic Export Information (EEI) filings through the Automated Export System (AES) for qualifying shipments.

Trade Sanctions & Denied Party Screening

• Screening Program:
  Own and operate UKG's denied party and restricted entity screening process for hardware transactions.
• Screen customers, distributors, end-users, and shipping destinations against OFAC SDN lists, BIS Entity List, and other applicable restricted party lists
• Escalation Handling:
  Serve as the decision point for screening hits and gray-area transactions. Coordinate with Legal on escalated cases and document disposition rationales
• Sanctions Monitoring:
  Monitor changes to U.S. trade sanctions programs (OFAC, BIS, State Department) and assess impact on UKG hardware shipping operations. Communicate changes proactively to Logistics, Sales, and Legal.

Policy, Process & Program Development

• Program Build:
  Design and document UKG's export compliance program from the ground up — policies, standard operating procedures, decision trees, and escalation paths. Ensure the program is proportionate to UKG's risk profile and operationally practical.
• Market Entry Integration:
  Embed export compliance review into the Global Market Entry process. Ensure new country shipping decisions include a compliance gate before logistics commitments are made.
• New Product Integration:
  Assess export compliance implications of new hardware products and acquired product lines as they are brought into the UKG supply chain. Flag classification, licensing, or encryption issues early in the NPI process.
• In-Country Delivery Review:
  Evaluate export compliance implications of UKG's various in-country delivery models — including scenarios where hardware ships to a local UKG entity for re-shipment — and ensure each model operates within applicable regulations.

Training & Internal Enablement

• Develop and deliver export compliance training for internal stakeholders including Sales, Logistics, Finance, and Operations — focused on practical awareness rather than regulatory theory.
• Create reference materials (country guides, quick-reference checklists, escalation flowcharts) that enable non-compliance teams to identify issues before they become violations.
• Serve as the go-to resource for sales and operations teams evaluating new international hardware opportunities.

Recordkeeping, Audits & Incident Response

• Maintain export compliance records in accordance with EAR recordkeeping requirements (5-year minimum). Ensure records are organized and audit-ready at all times.
• Conduct periodic internal audits of export transactions and screening processes; report findings and remediation plans to the Senior Director and Legal.
• Lead investigation and remediation of potential export violations, including voluntary self-disclosure (VSD) to…
