Job Description

GE Vernova is a purpose-built global energy company committed to electrifying and decarbonizing the world.

Key Responsibilities

Manage Trade Compliance Operations: Own import/export documentation, Harmonized System (HS) classification, and country-of-origin determinations; ensure all cross-border shipments meet applicable local and international regulatory standards
Monitor and Interpret Evolving Regulations: Stay ahead of rapidly changing trade laws — including tariffs, sanctions, and Section 232 — and sustainability mandates such as CBAM, CTPAT, REACH, EUDR, PPWR, and PFAS, translating their implications for the nuclear supply base
Drive Sustainability Integration: Monitor supply chain emissions data, support life-cycle assessments, and lead reporting for key sustainability disclosures; coordinate with internal GE Vernova sustainability experts across business units to share knowledge and establish best practices
Conduct Supply Chain Audits: Perform internal audits of trade compliance processes; evaluate suppliers against sustainability benchmarks and integrate compliance requirements into supplier onboarding workflows
Build Organizational Capability: Develop and deliver targeted training programs for sourcing and supply chain teams on trade and sustainability regulations, driving awareness and adoption at the team level
Apply Lean Methodology: Use lean tools — including Problem Solving Reports, Kaizens, Value Stream Mapping, and 5S — to identify process inefficiencies, reduce waste, and continuously improve compliance operations
Lead Cross-Functional Partnerships: Serve as a connector between Legal, Procurement, Logistics, and Operations teams; proactively identify where upstream supplier decisions have downstream compliance implications and close those gaps

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of professional experience in supply chain, operations, or compliance
Demonstrated ability to navigate complex, cross-functional organizations and influence without direct authority
Strong operational instincts — you know how to move from ambiguous regulatory guidance to a concrete action plan
U.S. work authorization without need for immigration sponsorship (current or future)
Familiarity with international trade frameworks: CBAM, CTPAT, REACH, EUDR, PPWR, PFAS, or export control regulations
Experience with SAP and/or EcoVadis
Background in or exposure to nuclear, aerospace, defense, or similarly regulated industries
Experience developing and facilitating compliance or regulatory training programs
Lean or continuous improvement certification or demonstrated application (Kaizen, VSM, 5S)
