Your Responsibilities

As our Trade Compliance & Compliance Program Officer, you will own the end-to-end compliance architecture at Axiomatics, bridging the gap between cutting-edge software development and international regulatory requirements.

1. Strategic Trade & Export Control

  • Own the Framework: Implement and maintain Axiomatics’ internal export classification framework, ensuring full alignment with the Swedish Military List (ML22), EU Dual-Use Regulations (5D002), and U.S. EAR.
  • Technical Governance: Partner with Engineering to perform precise technical classifications and maintain defensible records for cryptography and non-controlled justifications.
  • Global Oversight: Coordinate assessments of U.S.-origin components (e.g., Apache libraries) and manage dual-regime compliance where relevant.

2. Group Compliance & Policy Integration

  • Operationalize Leonardo Policies: Act as the local lead for implementing Leonardo SpA’s mandatory central policies, including Trade Compliance, Ethics, Anti-corruption, and Environmental standards.
  • Process Excellence: Seamlessly integrate compliance checks into daily business operations, from Sales workflows and contract approvals to partner onboarding.
  • Risk Management: Establish clear deviation reporting, escalation procedures, and maintain a rigorous audit trail.

3. Sanctions, KYC & Operations

  • Execution: Lead the implementation of screening procedures (Sanctions lists, Restricted parties, End-user verification) using group-provided tools.
  • Continuous Improvement: Ensure that our KYC/KYB processes are not just compliant, but operational enablers for our growth.

4. Leadership & Liaison

  • Official Interface: Serve as the designated focal point and official liaison toward Leonardo SpA’s central compliance organization.
  • Empower the Team: Act as the internal focal point for compliance culture, designing and delivering training programs that clarify export obligations and liability exposure for all employees.
  • Reporting: Provide high-level visibility to the Group on implementation status, organizational structure, and identified risks.


Your Profile

  • Mindset: Highly structured, detail-oriented, and capable of turning complex policies into smooth operational processes.
  • Expertise: A strong interest or experience in export controls and regulatory frameworks. Note: specific training on our niche will be provided.
  • Documentation: Proven ability to build defensible governance models and maintain high standards of accountability.
  • Collaboration: Ability to work cross-functionally with Engineering and Sales teams to enable business while ensuring safety.
  • Preferred: Experience in regulated industries (Tech, Defense, or Finance) and exposure to risk management.
