* Bilingual: English + one LATAM language (Spanish or Portuguese).
* 5+ years of professional experience in tax, global trade, or international regulatory research.
* Working knowledge of SAP GTS or similar trade compliance systems.
* Familiarity with international trade laws and frameworks (EAR, ITAR, EU Dual Use, WCO, etc.).
* Strong research, analytical, and documentation skills with excellent attention to detail.
Benefits:
This role offers the opportunity to work remotely while contributing to high-impact global compliance research. You will collaborate with a diverse international team of trade and tax experts and play a key role in helping global clients stay compliant with rapidly evolving regulations.
Must-Have Qualifications:
* Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and handle multiple tasks under pressure.
* Strong internet-based research capabilities and proficiency in business applications (Microsoft Office, Google tools, SharePoint, etc.).
* Experience compiling complex regulatory information into clear, actionable summaries.
* Self-starter with strong initiative, resourcefulness, and team-oriented mindset.
