Do you want to become a technology expert in export compliance?

The world around us is changing which impact the ways we do business. There is an increasing protectionism from the superpowers, almost like a trade war, creating trade barriers on technologies and business relations that can be used for espionage and terrorism.
Civil products that can be used for military purposes are called dual-use products. Our global Export Control team secures that the Volvo Group have compliant and effective tools to trade with sensitive items, both military and dual use. We work across the Volvo Group and support all Truck Divisions and Business Areas.


One of our team members is stepping into a new exiting role. It means that we are looking for a new colleague!


If you have good product knowledge, with experience from engineering, maybe have been working with patents, sales or marketing and would like to grow into a role as a specialist within compliance, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! In our team, you will be looking for export risks in the early product development phase, working cross-functionally with sales, legal, technology and operations.


This is us, your new colleagues
We are a global team with friendly, passionate and skilled colleagues with many different backgrounds. Knowledge sharing and openness are key characteristics in our team.


We are part of the Customs and Trade function and we have a close cooperation with Corporate Compliance since export control is one of the pillars of Volvo Code of Conduct.


Key Responsibilities as Export Control Specialist
The main responsibility in this role is to secure that export of products and components comply with the export control regulations, spanning from high level compliance requirements to specific technical evaluations and issues in the supply chain.

Our aim is that in time you will be able to:
Function as a center of expertise on technical evaluations for export control within the Volvo Group with focus on products and components

Take an active role in task forces with representatives from various functions within the Volvo Group such as Legal Departments, Sales divisions, Technology departments and Operations on specific export control matters

Who are you?
We think you have a solid experience from engineering. Part of the job is to understand and interpret regulations and also being able to explain them to others. For this position it is valuable to be able to see both holistically and dive into details when needed.

I am looking forward to your application!
