Help shape export control compliance at the heart of the UK's nuclear regulator

How do you ensure an organisation remains compliant in one of the most complex and highly regulated international environments?

At the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), we're looking for an experienced Export Control Manager to lead and oversee our export control framework, ensuring compliance with UK and international legislation governing the transfer of nuclear-related information and technology.

The role

Reporting to the Head of International Strategy and Public Correspondence, you'll act as ONR's export control subject matter expert, managing our export licence portfolio and advising colleagues across the organisation on export control requirements, classification, licensing and compliance.

You'll build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including government departments and external partners, while driving robust governance, systems and processes that embed best practice and ensure ongoing compliance. You'll also maintain up-to-date guidance and training, helping ONR respond proactively to changes in legislation and policy.

About you

You'll bring:

• Expert knowledge of UK and international export control legislation, including Nuclear Suppliers Group Trigger Lists and export licensing requirements.
• Extensive experience of ensuring organisational compliance in the transfer of export-controlled nuclear-related information and technology.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence, advise and build trusted relationships across complex organisations.
• Proven leadership capability, excellent communication skills and a focus on continuous improvement.
• Experience of international export control regimes, including US Part 810.

Why join ONR?

The nuclear sector is undergoing significant transformation, and ONR is at the forefront of regulating this changing landscape. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in delivering our new organisational strategy while contributing to work of national and international importance.

As the UK's independent nuclear regulator, we offer a supportive, inclusive and flexible working environment where expertise is valued, development is encouraged, and colleagues are empowered to make a meaningful impact.

Apply now and help shape the future of export control compliance within Great Britain's independent nuclear regulator.
