Director, Global Product Compliance - Physical AI Hardware

The Elevator Pitch

Evolv Technology is the world's leading physical security AI company, redefining how people and organizations are protected from concealed weapons. Our hardware products — Evolv Express® and eXpedite™ — are deployed across thousands of venues worldwide, and we are rapidly expanding into global markets. As we scale, the regulatory compliance foundation that supports that growth needs to be just as strong as the technology itself.

Do you understand what it takes to bring a complex hardware product to market across multiple regions and certification domains in parallel — and can you build the processes that make compliance a competitive advantage rather than a bottleneck? Are you energized by owning end-to-end compliance accountability for products that are helping to protect people and communities every day?

Evolv's Product Management team is seeking a Director, Global Product Compliance, to own holistic regulatory compliance for our hardware products across global markets. This is a director-level role with a broad scope and direct business impact. The compliance frameworks you build and the decisions you make will directly determine our ability to ship, scale, and grow globally — putting our technology in the hands of the customers who need it most.

As Evolv expands our hardware products beyond the United States into other countries — in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, and beyond — the complexity of compliance has grown significantly. It now spans product regulatory certifications, equipment safety, EMC compliance, human safety, material compliance, country-specific certifications, localization, and HS codes. This work has high visibility and direct impact on our ability to close deals, ship products, and protect our customers.

We need a dedicated leader who owns this end-to-end — with the expertise, rigor, and execution discipline to make it happen.

• Own end-to-end product regulatory compliance. Take full accountability for regulatory compliance across Evolv's hardware product portfolio — Express and eXpedite and future products — covering all product components, including tablets, LTE and Wi‑Fi radios; EMC, immunity, electrical and radiation safety; regulatory markings; and NRTL certification. Ensure every product ships with the required certifications for each market.
• Lead global market compliance. Build and maintain a prioritized country compliance framework covering North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and South America. Understand country-specific certification requirements and own the execution plan to achieve and maintain compliance in each target market.
• Own responsibilities as the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). Serve as the designated RSO for Evolv's cabinet X‑ray product, ensuring compliance with applicable low‑energy field and human safety regulations across all deployment environments. This includes being trained and certified in radiation survey techniques and radiation safety management, conducting and maintaining required radiation surveys across all HQ and field systems, and collaborating with internal teams and external customers to manage RSO requirements at customer deployment sites, ensuring that every installation meets regulatory obligations and safety standards.
• Drive material and environmental compliance. Own RoHS, REACH, SCIP, and conflict minerals compliance across the product portfolio. Ensure all components and assemblies meet material compliance requirements for every target market and maintain accurate documentation and reporting.
• Manage HS codes and trade compliance. Review and maintain accurate Harmonized System (HS) of tariffs code classifications for all hardware products and components.
• Build a compliance workflow and execution framework. Design and implement a structured compliance checklist and workflow that ensures every product is compliance‑ready before shipment to any market. Work with a prioritized country list to sequence compliance efforts aligned with business needs and sales pipeline. Make compliance a defined phase in the product‑readiness process—not an…
