What We Do

Our Trade Compliance Analysts protect the DHL Express network, employees, and customers from risks associated with fraud, violations of international embargoes, and transactions with entities subject to sanctions related to global terrorism, weapons proliferation, and international drug trafficking.

The Role – Why It Matters

As a Trade Compliance Embargo Senior Analyst, you play a critical role in ensuring international shipments comply with global trade regulations and sanctions. Your work helps protect DHL, our customers, and global supply chains by ensuring shipments move safely, legally, and without disruption.

You will use your strong analytical skills and sound judgment to review compliance risks, provide clear guidance to stakeholders, and support the timely release of shipments.

Success in this role requires the ability to interpret complex regulatory or legal information and apply it to real-world cases with sound judgement, combined with a strong analytical mindset, a keen eye for anomalies, and a proactive, investigative approach to problem solving.
