• Examine export paperwork and commercial transactions to spot compliance risks and raise concerns when needed.
• Keep records and supporting documents accurate and organized for audits, internal checks, and regulatory questions.

Applicants should typically have 2 to 4 years of relevant experience in export controls, trade compliance, supply chain, or a related analytical or regulatory role. A basic understanding of export control principles and regulatory frameworks is needed, along with confidence using Microsoft Office and working with data and documentation systems.

Preferred strengths

Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, the ability to follow structured processes, and clear written and verbal communication are all valued. Prior exposure to export control or trade compliance work in a global or regulated environment, familiarity with UK, EU, and/or U.S. regulations, and experience collaborating with supply chain, logistics, or engineering teams would be an advantage.

Business update

Johnson & Johnson has announced plans to separate its Orthopaedics business into a standalone company operating as DePuy Synthes. The separation is expected to take 18 to 24 months and depends on legal requirements, consultation with works councils or other employee representative bodies where required, regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions. If hired, the employee is anticipated to transition to DePuy Synthes after the transaction closes, and employment terms would then follow DePuy Synthes processes, policies, programs, and benefit plans, with any planned changes communicated at the appropriate time and subject to consultation processes.
