Senior Legal Counsel, Trade Compliance

The Company is seeking a Senior Legal Counsel with a focus on trade compliance to provide essential legal support in the areas of commercial contracting, supply chain, and regulatory compliance. The successful candidate will be responsible for managing U.S. forced labor compliance and supply chain traceability obligations, particularly in the context of solar module imports. This includes maintaining and organizing supply chain traceability documentation, directly interfacing with U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the event of cargo detention or enforcement actions, and advising internal teams on best practices for compliance. The role also involves supporting various legal matters, including commercial agreements, trade, tariff, and customs issues, and coordinating with outside counsel as necessary. Applicants for this role at the company should have an active U.S. bar admission and legal experience in supporting a solar manufacturing company. Advanced proficiency in U.S. forced labor related laws, particularly the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, and a strong knowledge of CBP standards and practices are essential. The ideal candidate will have a background in handling CBP detentions and examinations, with prior hands-on experience being strongly preferred. While not required, experience in intellectual property is a plus. The position demands a professional who can effectively manage a range of legal responsibilities and is capable of working both independently and in collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.
