Import & Export Control Manager
What we’re looking for
We're looking for an experienced Import \& Export Control Manager to build and own Twentyfour's export control function from the ground up. You'll make sure every drone, component, and piece of technical data crosses borders fully legally — keeping us fast in the field and audit\-proof toward BAFA, Zoll, and our defense customers. This is a build\-it\-yourself role: you own the playbook, the authority of contacts, and the processes that let the rest of the company move at speed.
The day\-to\-day
- Own the function: build and run import \& export control end\-to\-end — finished drones, supply\-chain components, and IP/technical data
- Manage licenses: handle all license applications and authority contact (BAFA, Zoll, and BMWK where needed)
- Classify everything: sort products and components by Ausfuhrliste, dual\-use numbers, and customs tariff codes
- Set the rules: build and enforce policies for employee travel with controlled knowledge/hardware and for RFQ/supplier onboarding
- Screen the field: run sanctions and end\-user screening across customers and suppliers
- Keep us sharp: train engineering, sales, and procurement on the basics, track regulatory changes, and keep documentation audit\-ready
You should apply if you
- have got the foundation: a degree or vocational training in a relevant field — law, international trade, business administration, logistics/supply chain, customs \& taxation, or political/security studies (we care more about what you've done than the title on the certificate)
- know the rulebook: hands\-on experience with German/EU export control, AWG/AWV, EU Dual\-Use Regulation 2021/821, and KWKG
- have done the paperwork: a proven track record with BAFA license applications (Ausfuhrgenehmigungen, Nullbescheide) and end\-use documentation (EUC)
- can classify: experience assigning AL/dual\-use numbers and HS/tariff codes to military or dual\-use products
- see the risks: working knowledge of sanctions/embargo screening (EU, UN, US) and customs procedures
- speak both: fluent German (C1\+) and English
Nice to haves
- US regimes: familiarity with ITAR/EAR re\-export rules (we run US components in our supply chain)
- Tech affinity: a feel for drones, electronics, or RF — or experience with intangible technology transfer (data, software, IP)
- Startup speed: time in a defense startup or scaling manufacturer, not only large\-corporate compliance departments
