Draft analytical inquiries and communications for coordination with U.S. embassies, consulates, and interagency stakeholders.
Analyze inquiry findings and prepare recommendations regarding licensing actions, compliance concerns, or additional review requirements.
Assist in maintaining and improving screening and risk assessment processes for parties involved in defense trade.
