About The Position

Are you a trade compliance or product regulatory rockstar looking to expand your scope? Have you had a lot of experience working with product and engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle, tackling issues relating to trade compliance, IoT hardware and software compliance, and government procurement? If so, we'd love to hear from you, especially if you also have expertise in one or more of the following areas: OFAC and import/export compliance issues for high-tech products licensing and regulatory compliance for highly regulated products, like alarms or batteries; and/or domestic and international regulatory compliance for connected devices. This role, which reports directly to Verkada’s AGC for Product Legal, merges trade compliance and product regulatory functions and will be integral to ensuring that Verkada stays ahead of expanding regulatory requirements as we continue to scale rapidly. If you enjoy building from the ground up, this role is for you! We are an “in the office” company and this role is based in our headquarters in San Mateo, CA.
