DESCRIPTION
Amazon is seeking exceptional talent to help develop the next generation of advanced robotics systems that will transform automation at Amazon's scale. Our teams are developing revolutionary solutions that integrate AI, sophisticated control systems, and advanced mechanical design — creating adaptable automation capable of working safely alongside humans in dynamic environments. This is a rare opportunity to shape the future of robotics at unprecedented scale, collaborating with world-class engineers pushing the boundaries of robotic manipulation, locomotion, and human-robot interaction.
Robotics Trade & Supply Chain Compliance (RTSCC) is looking for a trade compliance professional with strong operational leadership capabilities to take full ownership of import/export compliance for industrial robotics.

When confronted with competing viewpoints, you will chart the best path forward and build consensus across stakeholders. Your decisions will balance risk mitigation with customer experience. You will pressure-test assumptions by engaging the right cross-functional partners and reviewing relevant metrics and benchmarks.

- Develop and implement comprehensive import and export compliance programs across multiple countries and regions
- Partner with Amazon's regional teams to execute, drive, and enforce import/export processes across dedicated lanes, identifying opportunities for automation and technology enablement
- Research and analyze trade requirements and regulatory obligations for new and existing markets
- Work cross-functionally to help achieve execution against regulatory requirements and internal policies
- Deep dive complex regulator topics including customs valuation, duty mitigation, various supply chain models and complex trade barriers (product compliance, licenses, encryption and certification)
- Drive compliance program integration with IRG business teams and supply chain
- Interface with cross-functional teams including Legal, Tax, Procurement, Supply Chain, Operations, and Engineering
- Build and deliver training programs to enable business teams on trade compliance requirements
- Educate leadership on the appropriate execution of compliance requirements

Mid Level Trade Development Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level trade development manager job?
Position yourself around ownership, not just participation. Highlight accounts you managed independently, revenue you influenced directly, and trade programs you built or improved. Applications that show you can run a territory, negotiate with channel partners, and report on performance without close supervision stand out. Lead with measurable outcomes and the specific categories or regions you covered.
Which companies hire mid level trade development managers?
Companies hiring mid level trade development managers right now include Deloitte, Alvarez & Marsal, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Consumer goods brands, beverage companies, and specialty distributors tend to hire most actively at this level, as they need experienced managers who can run accounts and grow shelf presence without heavy supervision.
Are there remote mid level trade development manager jobs?
Yes, though many roles still involve field work or regional travel. About 41% of mid level trade development manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how companies structure territory coverage and customer-facing responsibilities differently across industries. Fully remote roles are more common in national accounts or digital trade functions than in field-based channel roles.
How do I move up to a mid level trade development manager role?
Moving into mid level comes from building a clear record of independent contribution over your early years. Focus on taking full ownership of smaller accounts or territories, learning how to build trade plans from scratch, and demonstrating that your efforts tie directly to volume or distribution gains. Managers promoting into mid level roles typically show they can prioritize without being directed and coach newer team members.
Which industries hire the most mid level trade development managers?
Mid Level trade development manager roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Accounting & Auditing, and Distribution & Wholesale, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive consistent hiring at this level because they depend on experienced channel managers to maintain distributor partnerships, execute trade promotions, and grow points of distribution across competitive retail and foodservice environments.
