Global Head of Export Controls & Sanctions (Senior Director)

NXP Semiconductors N.V.

Austin, TX • On-site

Full-time

This job post has expired today. Applications are no longer accepted.

Job description

Why this role matters
Export controls and sanctions are no longer a compliance function - they directly shape market access, technology flows, and geopolitical positioning.
In this role, you safeguard NXP's ability to operate globally, enabling innovation while navigating complex and fast-evolving regulatory environments.
You will operate at the intersection of regulation, business strategy, and geopolitics.
Your impact
  • Own NXP's global export control and sanctions position
  • Ensure fast, consistent, and defensible decisions across regions
  • Protect market access and technology roadmap
  • Act as senior interface to regulators and external stakeholders
  • Build and lead a high-performing global leadership team

What you will do
Lead global decision-making
  • Act as the final authority for complex and high-risk export control and sanctions decisions
  • Resolve cross-regional conflicts and ensure consistent interpretation of regulations (US, EU, China, others)
  • Define escalation criteria and ensure predictable decision-making
  • Ensure all decisions are grounded in applicable law, verified facts, and the jurisdictions in which NXP operates

Own the global framework
  • Define and maintain NXP's global export control and sanctions framework
  • Translate regulatory complexity into clear decision guidelines for the business
  • Ensure governance is scalable, auditable, and aligned globally

Shape risk and regulatory execution
  • Own the regulatory risk view for export controls and sanctions and translate broader geopolitical strategy into actionable decisions
  • Advise senior leadership on regulatory exposure and trade-offs
  • Lead engagement with regulators and external stakeholders
  • Contribute to M&A, restructuring, and major business transformation projects by assessing export control and sanctions implications and ensuring these are addressed early in decision-making

Lead and align a global team
  • Lead a team of Regional Export Control & Sanctions Leads across EMEA, Americas, and Asia
  • Drive decision quality, consistency, and accountability across regions
  • Ensure global alignment without slowing down the business

Enable the business
  • Provide clear guardrails that enable compliant growth
  • Work closely with business, legal, and strategy teams
  • Balance regulatory risk with commercial objectives

Training and awareness
  • Define and drive the global training and awareness strategy for export control and sanctions
  • Ensure consistent understanding and correct application across all regions

How you will operate
You sit at the top of a structured operating model:
  • You own regulatory governance, decision-making, and escalation frameworks
  • Regional Leads own business-facing decisions
  • Infrastructure and Operations own processes, controls, and execution environment

You ensure this system runs fast, consistent, and predictable.
What you bring
  • Significant experience in export controls and sanctions in a global, multinational environment
  • Deep expertise in US export controls (EAR) and global regulatory frameworks
  • Proven track record as a senior decision-maker in complex, high-risk situations
  • Demonstrated ability to apply regulations with rigor, discipline, and a law-based approach, ensuring decisions are supported by clear legal reasoning and factual analysis
  • Experience leading global teams across multiple regions
  • Ability to translate regulation into clear, business-relevant decisions
  • Strong presence and credibility with senior stakeholders and regulators
  • Clear, concise communication style

What makes this role unique
  • Direct impact on global market access and business continuity
  • High exposure to executive leadership and geopolitical topics
  • Clear decision authority - not reliant on informal channels
  • Opportunity to shape a next-generation trade compliance model

Additional context
Regular international travel is expected, including engagement across regions and participation in global leadership activities, requiring flexibility across time zones
