• Translate complex legislative updates and trade remedies into clear, strict, and actionable compliance requirements tailored to TVH's extensive product portfolio.
• Act as a trusted internal counsel to the Americas executive leadership and cross-functional teams, transforming dense legalities into agile business strategies that support continuity of operations.

Governance, Risk, & Audit Frameworks

• Design, implement, and oversee robust internal trade compliance audit frameworks and risk assessment methodologies to evaluate the health of TVH's regional trade activities.
• Lead complex regulatory investigations, oversee root-cause analysis, and establish systemic corrective action plans to mitigate compliance exposure.
• Serve as the definitive regional authority for complex customs valuation, tariff classification (HTSUS), and country-of-origin determination, ensuring a seamless escalation path to the US Compliance Manager and global Assurance leadership in Belgium.

C-TPAT Stewardship & Supply Chain Security

• Take full strategic ownership of the maintenance, validation, and continuous optimization of TVH's Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) status.
• Design and implement robust supply chain security controls, ensuring total alignment, education, and compliance across global partners, vendors, and internal logistics infrastructure.

Collaboration & Organizational Advocacy

• Participate in and coordinate high-stakes enterprise projects, embedding strict compliance parameters from project definition through to final delivery.
• Actively champion and elevate trade compliance awareness across all levels of the Americas organization, equipping management and operational teams with the insights needed to conduct business with absolute integrity.

• Exceptional interpersonal and articulation skills, with the ability to distill complex legal structures into precise, respectful briefing materials for both the Americas executive team and global leadership in Belgium.
