As a global leader in ratings and integrated risk assessment, Moody’s is advancing AI to move from insight to action—enabling intelligence that understands complexity and responds to it. We decode risk to unlock opportunity, helping clients navigate uncertainty with clarity, speed, and confidence.

We are seeking a Senior Industry Practice Lead who will serve as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor in export controls and trade compliance.

The role involves elevating RFP and Proof of Concept processes using industry best practices, partnering with sales, marketing, and product teams to execute market outreach strategies, and leading industry engagement initiatives including speaking at events and publishing thought leadership. You will identify emerging market themes and regulatory requirements to future-proof Moody's solutions and detect whitespace opportunities to support new capabilities and continuous solution improvement.

This position offers a dynamic work environment with a strategic focus on driving technology and data transformation to enhance automation, screening accuracy, and operational efficiency. You will work closely with cross-functional teams across compliance, legal, trade operations, logistics, procurement, and finance to deliver impactful, future-ready solutions across Europe.
