About The Position

The Global Trade Compliance (GTC) team supports Viasat’s business and growth by being compliant with import and export regulations worldwide. We understand the regulations, requirements, and options available to us so we can transfer goods and technical information internationally and compliantly. This team interacts with all divisions within Viasat, from space to government to energy to commercial services. We support programs and products from their inception to end of life which contributes to Viasat's success by being compliant with the necessary regulations at all stages. The GTC team interacts with many groups and roles that give us intracompany and external networking opportunities, along with self advocation for the important role of export compliance. We work with a diverse group of people within Viasat and externally such as customers, engineers, contract and program managers, after market services, global logistics, suppliers, legal counsel, and government entities throughout the world. World events shape the ever-changing government regulations. As such, we are required to stay current on international relations and how they may impact legislation and regulation in real time. We monitor world affairs, along with interpreting government responses through new laws, regulations, and statements. This awareness also allows the GTC team to give the best guidance to our business areas based on the current geopolitical climate. Viasat is a fast-paced environment that specializes in a wide range of products. Our global trade compliance team supports all Viasat locations around the world with their export and import requirements. Our team is not siloed into specific functions such as classification or licensing, rather we specialize and support all aspects of the trade compliance functions. We are not your typical compliance team and set the bar high. We offer flexibility and a great work/life balance with many opportunities to learn and grow. Teamwork is a key core value of our global trade compliance group. Viasat’s culture is wonderfully unique and our team might be just the environment you’re looking for. This position can be fully remote, hybrid, or in one of the many global Viasat offices – whichever you prefer.
