Trade Compliance Specialist (Europe)

Location: Fully remote in Europe Working Hours: Mon - Fri, 9AM - 6PM CET About Nivoda Nivoda is a rapidly scaling global B2B diamond and gemstone marketplace connecting jewellery retailers with competitive, high-quality suppliers worldwide. Processing $300M+ in annual transactions and operating across multiple regions, Nivoda is transforming a $350B industry that has historically been slow to modernise. Our Mission Nivoda started with a simple observation: buying and selling diamonds was slow, opaque, and inefficient, no matter how big or small your business was. Our platform fixes this by giving every jewellery business, wherever they are in the world, the same access to inventory, financing, and logistics as the biggest players in the industry. About the Role As we expand into jewellery and new markets, the complexity of moving products across borders has grown fast.

You'll partner with them constantly and escalate anything genuinely unclear, but this role owns execution. It's an individual contributor role with high ownership; there's no capability like this at Nivoda today, so you'll be building the operating rhythm as you go, not inheriting one. What will you be doing?
