Global Trade Compliance Manager

Oura is building a Global Trade Program organized around three connected pillars: Risk, Controls & Governance; Trade Value Optimization; and Market Expansion & Enablement. As the Global Trade Compliance Manager, you will own the Market Expansion & Enablement pillar. You will make sure new products and new markets have trade readiness built into launch timelines, rather than discovered as a blocker after commitments have already been made. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build a program, not inherit one.

Responsibilities

Own trade readiness for new product introductions (NPI) and new market entries, running classification/origin pre-assessments and market-entry regulatory scans before launch commitments are made; Build and administer repeatable trade-readiness checklists and review cadences so trade input reaches product and go-to-market decisions early, not after shipping dates are locked in; Serve as Trade's voice in launch decision forums, giving product and regional expansion teams a clear, defensible trade-readiness signal for go/no-go decisions; Act as the connective tissue between the Risk, Controls & Governance pillar and the Trade Value Optimization pillar, so risk clearances and landed-cost/duty inputs reach launch decisions with enough lead time to act on; Establish the handoff mechanisms this program needs today: routing new SKU, market-entry, or channel-expansion signals to the risk register, and requesting risk clearance before a duty-savings position is claimed; Give the Trade Value Optimization lead advance visibility into upcoming launches so FTA eligibility, preferential program qualification, and first-sale opportunities can be evaluated before sourcing and pricing are finalized; Design and stand up the intake, documentation, and escalation processes for the pillar; Build and maintain a Trade Request Intake process so landed-cost and risk-clearance requests are logged and tracked rather than handled ad hoc; Report on pillar KPIs, including the percentage of launches with trade readiness assessed before commitment and average lead time between trade engagement and launch date

Requirements

8-12+ years of professional experience in global trade compliance, customs, or international trade operations, ideally in consumer electronics, health-tech/medical device, or CPG; Deep working knowledge of global import/export regulations, HS classification, country-of-origin determinations, and trade-risk assessment for new product launches; Proven ability to build a program, process, or function from scratch, with the judgment to define governance and cadence where none currently exists; Excellent cross-functional influence skills with the ability to get Product, Legal, Sourcing, and Go-to-Market teams to adopt a new trade-readiness gate without formal authority over them; Strong communication and presentation skills, comfortable escalating risk and readiness status to program leadership

Nice to have

Familiarity with FTA/preferential trade programs and duty-savings mechanisms is a plus; OE & IT Diploma in International Trade / World Customs Compliance, or CILT Certificate of Customs Competency, preferred not required
