Senior Risk Manager Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Job Posting Title:

Senior Manager, Global Trade Risk, Audit & Finance

Req ID:

10158476

Job Description:

About the Role:

The Senior Manager, Global Trade Risk, Audit & Finance drives the evaluation, design, and execution of regulatory and operational control frameworks alongside trade finance workflows for the import footprint. This position is strategically balanced across three core execution lanes: control design and automation strategy (30%), risk assessment and transactional audit (40%), and trade finance transaction matching and payment approval (30%).

The primary mandate of this leader is the design and implementation of control activities, vendor payment and Customs declaration accuracy, and corporate regulatory risk mitigation. Rather than pursuing commercial value-generation programs (such as duty drawback optimization, foreign trade zones, or preferential trade agreements), this role focuses 60% of its scope on control activities (process mapping, systematic rules configuration, trade payment verification) and 40% on the control environment (risk assessment, reporting, and governance reviews). The successful candidate will manage specialized trade automation technology integrated with core ERP environments to accelerate exception resolution and eliminate financial leakage.

What Will You Do:

Global Trade Auditing & Control Verification (40% Time Spent)

• Import Integrity Assurance: Design and oversee post-entry audits, classification testing, and process-validation for physical cargo entries, verifying the defensibility of customs valuation, HTS classification, and country-of-origin declarations.
• Root-Cause and Corrective Action: Investigate compliance failures, determine the root cause, and implement corrective actions to prevent recurrence.
• Risk Assessment & Reporting: Advise on high-level risk segmentation. Oversee transaction sampling and post-entry review framework to detect data inaccuracies and prevent fines and penalties.

Trade Finance & Payment Authorization (30% Time Spent)

• Merchandise Payment Sign-Off: Act as the functional approver for vendor merchandise invoices and customs brokerage fees, ensuring invoices are reviewed and approved before payment release.
• Three-Way Match Governance: Manage automated matching rules engines that validate and reconcile purchase orders, receiving warehouse logs, and product commercial invoices back to official customs declarations. Set systemic parameters to capture, flag, and resolve billing errors, duplicate invoicing, and over-billing.

Systems Strategy & Control Automation (30% Time Spent)

• Automated Workflow Architecture: Lead the configuration of electronic exception filters and screening logic within internal/external trade management software.
• Analytical Visualization Delivery: Supervise the development of compliance and financial dashboards (leveraging Tableau, PowerBI, or equivalent systems) to track critical compliance metrics and communicate to senior leadership.

Cross-Functional Guardrails & Systems Authority:

Technology Framework and Systems Governance

• Roadmap and Architecture Ownership: Inform the creation and development of the long-term technical roadmap, platform selection, and solution deployment strategy for trade finance and customs compliance systems.
• Change Management: Function as the primary advisor for upstream and downstream enterprise technology, config updates, and technology integrations; review and evaluate updates before deployment to guarantee 99% uptime for trade finance compliance workflows.

Guardrails & Executive Communication

• Executive Visibility: Possesses the executive presence required to present compliance reviews, technical risk mappings, and audit dashboards directly at high-level staff and compliance review meetings.
• Government and Escalation Protocol: Responsible for identifying declaration errors and directing Post-Summary Corrections (PSC) and/or protests. Customs communications and self-disclosure filings are escalated through the Director level and internal Trade Counsel.

Leadership & Supervisory Scope

• Functional Management: Provide leadership, direction, and strategic oversight across two distinct operational workstreams: one dedicated to traditional customs compliance and regulatory risk assessment and auditing, and the other focused on trade finance, automated invoice matching, and vendor payment approvals.
• Talent Development: Directly supervise and develop a team of compliance analysts and transaction specialists, coaching personnel on technical internal controls, corrective action, and scalable solutions.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, International Business, Supply Chain Management, or a related analytical discipline or equivalent experience
• Minimum of 7 or more years of progressive experience in international trade compliance, corporate internal audit, or global trade finance workflows within a matrixed multi-tier retail or consumer products company or equivalent experience
• Proven experience in a technical build-style senior role-demonstrating a record of designing and deploying automated workflows.
• Functional experience leveraging automated visibility suites (such as Centric PLM and Infor Nexus or industry standard software counterparts) integrated directly into central ERP environments.

Preferred Qualifications

• Licensed Customs Broker (LCB) professional credential strongly preferred.
• Financial credentials (e.g., CPA) considered a value-add for risk and audit management.

The hiring range for this position in Florida is $145,900.00 to $195,600.00 per year. The base pay actually offered will take into account internal equity and also may vary depending on the candidate's geographic region, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience among other factors. A bonus and/or long-term incentive units may be provided as part of the compensation package, in addition to the full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits, dependent on the level and position offered.
