Export Compliance Analyst

Position Overview

The Export Compliance Screening analyst performs a key role in protecting Autodesk from export and trade compliance violations while balancing the need to expediently provide customers with access to Autodesk Products.

ECS Team analysts work with our Oracle Watchlist Screening (OWS) tool to screen customer and prospective customer transactions and prevent sales of Autodesk high-technology products to sanctioned individuals, outlaw states or nefarious actors. The ECS Team analyst uses their knowledge of our documented export compliance policies and performs research on customers using various tools. The ECS Analsyt then carefully documents their findings in our OWS tool to support their export compliance decision. The ECS Analsyt may either research, confirm and document that a customer is a positive match to a restricted party; or carefully document that a customer is not a match to a restricted party. This research and documentation is fundamental to our Export Compliance Screening program.

Responsibilities

• Work independently within the Export Compliance Screening team (“ECS team”) to address and resolve export compliance alerts via a thorough review of customer information against Autodesk’s Export Compliance screening system (Oracle OWS)
• Work with a sense of urgency to resolve Export Compliance blocks against open customer quotes, orders and access cases
• Assist the Export Compliance Screening team and Global Trade Compliance in conducting research and further investigation into current and potential Customer Accounts. This will involve investigating the company and industry scope and documenting their proposed usage of Autodesk products and services.
• Export Compliance Screening Analysts will work to either clear export compliance order blocks or to confirm that the denial of sale is appropriate based on their research and the Export Compliance status of the customer in question. The E.C.S. Analyst will document their findings in Autodesk’s systems and update the Customer’s systemic Export Control status as appropriate in Autodesk systems (Salesforce / OWS / other)
• Successful employees in this role effectively work in a time-sensitive manner with multiple software systems open at the same time. An individual may work through a backlog of Export Compliance Alerts in our Oracle Watchlist Screening system; referencing customer data in our CRM system and independently research the company or individual over the Internet or with provided research tools. Common tools used are Google, Dow Jones, US Bureau of Industry and Security or US Department of State articles or other government-issued watch lists or other supplemental Trade Compliance data search tools

• Participate in “pre-screening” activities to guide Autodesk Sales efforts on what customers may or may not be pursued for opportunities

• Analysts may also respond to work actions assigned through a Salesforce.com queue and respond to inquiries about an order’s export compliance status to internal Autodesk Client Services staff
• This individual spends the entire day online and researching customers (both companies and individuals) and is tasked with insuring that Autodesk complies with all current regulations regarding who Autodesk may sell our high-technology products. When appropriate, this individual must have the ability and confidence to say “no” to a sale which may violate US, EU, UK or similar Export law and document their reasoning
