Analog Devices (ADI) is seeking a Sanctions Screening Systems Analyst to assist in maintaining the policies, procedures, and governance frameworks that support the company’s global partner screening due diligence and risk-based approval processes. This role serves as a technical and analytics-enabled resource supporting screening operations and system performance, leveraging screening tools, Power BI reporting, and emerging AI capabilities to monitor trends, improve decision quality, and support escalation workflows involving higher-risk transactions.
This position reports to the Global Government Affairs and Trade group and partners with Purchasing, the Channel Sales Group, IT, and Data Analytics to deliver consistent, scalable screening decisions and data-driven insights aligned with end-user screening, sanctions compliance, and grey-market mitigation requirements, translating trend signals into recommendations for process, controls, and tool optimization.
Key Responsibilities
- Assist in maintaining governance and standard operating procedures for the Verified Purchaser Program (VPP), including partner qualification criteria, risk-tiering methodologies, review/approval workflows, escalation matrices, and related procedures, guidance, FAQs, and training materials, enabling consistent execution by the Channel Sales Group.
- Support the continuous improvement of risk-based screening standards and decision frameworks for evaluating customers or suppliers, end users, intermediaries, and channel transactions, providing data-driven insights and recommendations to support diligence expectations, evidence standards, and risk-tiering for escalated or higher-risk cases in alignment with Trade Compliance screening and grey market mitigation policies.
- Enforce and execute screening procedures to assess and support disposition denied party screening alerts, approvals, and denials, including SAP-integrated workflows; ad hoc screening and potential-match disposition in Descartes MK Denial (including parties not yet established in SAP, exception research, and audit-ready documentation); and enhanced entity due diligence in Kharon (including ownership/parent research, risk indicator assessment, MEU screening, and OFAC 50% ownership rule assessments), ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements.
- Apply grey market mitigation red flag logic (e.g., suspected brokers/unauthorized resellers, freight forwarder indicators, inconsistent partner information) and support the development and refinement of procedures to ensure outcomes are reflected in holds/releases and escalation communications; monitor patterns in red flags and dispositions to recommend control enhancements, training, and targeted distributor/channel interventions.
- Support complex internal and external escalations related to screening outcomes and VPP decisions, by providing structured analysis, documentation, decision rationale, and clear recommended options/next steps; capture recurring drivers (e.g., false positives, data quality gaps, recurring grey market indicators) and feed insights into process and tool improvements.
- Partner with IT and analytics teams to define data requirements and optimize screening tools and workflows, including automated denied party screening, case management, false-positive tuning, and Power BI reporting; evaluate AI/ML-enabled enhancements for alert triage and trend/anomaly detection, and help establish governance for responsible use (data quality, access controls, validation, and ongoing monitoring).
- Develop and maintain dashboards and recurring analytics (Power BI) to monitor screening volumes, alert quality, false-positive rates, cycle time, hold/release outcomes, escalation drivers, and grey market risk indicators; deliver actionable insights and recommendations to Purchasing, Channel Sales Group and Trade Compliance leadership.
- Support preparation and execution of VPP enhancements, program expansions, and distributor enablement initiatives, including drafting implementation plans, stakeholder communications, and change management materials.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in international business, legal/compliance, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience) supporting export controls and trade compliance in a technology or semiconductor environment.
- 7+ years of experience in export controls and trade compliance, including practical working knowledge of EAR, ITAR, OFAC sanctions (SDN, SSI, CMIC lists), embargoes, and restricted party screening requirements, with experience developing or maintaining compliance policies, procedures, or governance frameworks.
- Demonstrated ability to assess end-use/end-user and transaction risk at both the individual case and program level, including identifying and escalating export control and sanctions red flags (e.g., diversion risk, ownership/control concerns, unusual shipping routes, intermediary risk) and translating risk insights into policy and procedural enhancements.
- Working familiarity with U.S. and non-U.S. export controls and sanctions as applied to partner screening, channel transactions, and grey market mitigation, including FDPR; BIS Entity List and Unverified List requirements; country-specific controls (particularly China and Russia restrictions affecting semiconductor technology); end-use controls (military, WMD, nuclear, chemical/biological); anti-boycott rules; and key non-U.S. sanctions regimes (e.g., EU/UK). Ability to interpret regulatory guidance and translate it into actionable screening criteria, red flags, escalation/hold-release decisions, and audit-ready procedures.
- Experience supporting escalation processes, communicating screening outcomes and supporting data to business stakeholders, with demonstrated ability to influence outcomes without authority and drive alignment across functions.
- Strong procedure drafting and communication skills, with excellent written and verbal communication abilities, including the capacity to translate complex regulatory requirements into clear, actionable procedures and training materials for diverse stakeholders.
- Understanding how ECCN product classifications interact with screening decisions, end-use/end-user controls, and license requirements, particularly in the context of semiconductor and advanced technology products.
- Demonstrated ability to use data and analytics to improve screening operations (e.g., building Power BI reports/dashboards, defining KPIs, analyzing trends and outliers, and translating insights into process changes and stakeholder recommendations).
- Experience in monitoring regulatory guidance, agency advisories, and enforcement actions, and updating internal screening/compliance procedures accordingly.
- Experience with SAP-S/4Hana, GTS-E4H and other related compliance screening tools.
- Must be a U.S. Citizen
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing enhanced due diligence standards to support complex export controls and sanctions decisions (e.g., MEU screening frameworks, ownership research for OFAC 50% rule compliance) and establishing audit-ready documentation expectations.
- Advanced proficiency with Power BI (or similar BI tools), including data modeling, DAX measures, and building dashboards for screening metrics, escalations, cycle time, false-positive rates, and grey market trend analysis (SQL familiarity a plus).
- Experience evaluating and deploying AI-enabled compliance capabilities (e.g., Microsoft Copilot, GenAI solutions, or ML-based sanctions screening) to improve alert triage, consistency, and trend/anomaly monitoring across channel activity, including assessing accuracy, bias, and data handling risks, defining validation/monitoring approaches, and establishing governance for responsible AI use in screening operations.
- Semiconductor industry experience (or closely related high-tech manufacturing/distribution), with understanding of product lifecycles, ECCN classifications, distribution models, diversion/grey market dynamics, and the regulatory landscape specific to advanced computing and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
- Exposure to distributor‑based business models and indirect sales channels.
- Experience leading compliance program rollouts, policy implementations, or global process changes, including change management, stakeholder alignment, training development, and influencing adoption across regions and functions.
- Experience designing or managing internal controls testing programs for screening and compliance processes, including developing effectiveness metrics and remediation tracking procedures.
- Familiarity with the intersection of sanctions and export control regimes, including how OFAC sanctions programs and BIS export controls create compounding compliance obligations requiring integrated policy approaches.
