Overview
Our client is integrating recently acquired companies into its export controls program. The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) controls specific items and technologies for export and technology transfers across borders. This project spans two to three business units. The Project Manager will lead implementation of the internal controls needed to manage export controls for the recent acquisitions, from planning through documented, operational completion.

1. Export controls: install and improve controls to detect and identify the controlled items.

2. Technology transfer controls: create and implement controls over transfers of controlled technology.

3. Deemed export controls: expand and improve controls over release of controlled technology to foreign persons.

4. Training: enhance existing training and create new training for affected audiences.

• Plan: build a comprehensive integrated project plan across all four workstreams, with milestones, dependencies, owners, and timelines.
• Track and unblock: monitor progress against the plan, identify delays and risks, and drive solutions, escalating to leadership when needed.
• Report: create and maintain a project dashboard, and deliver weekly and monthly metrics and status reports.
• Coordinate: schedule and facilitate cross-functional meetings and training sessions with business units, export control SMEs, and technical SMEs.
• Document: write and edit SOPs and job aids from SME input, and maintain project records of decisions, approvals, and control implementation.
