• Liaise with test houses and toxicologists to ensure timely safety assessments and substantiation of claims
• Support and guide product launches, ensuring regulatory approvals and documentation are completed within critical path timelines
• Mentor and support junior regulatory team members
• Monitor regulatory updates and proactively communicate legislative changes to the wider business
• Manage and maintain regulatory IT system for allocated portfolio
Who you are
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Cosmetic Science, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline
• Minimum 4–6 years’ regulatory experience within the cosmetics or personal care industry
• Strong working knowledge of UK Cosmetics Regulation, EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, US cosmetic legislation, Middle East, ANZ and relevant South American frameworks
• Proven expertise in compiling and reviewing Product Information Files (PIFs)
• Experience managing retailer compliance standards and global submissions
• Confident interpreting legislation and providing pragmatic commercial guidance
• Passionate about sustainability, ethical sourcing, and responsible innovation
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders
• Proactive, solution-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment
Professional certifications such as completion of the SCS Diploma are advantageous.
Why join us
• Be part of a thriving, fast-growing family business with a strong ethical and entrepreneurial culture
• Take ownership in a senior-level regulatory position with real influence
• Work collaboratively across global markets and leading retailers
• Develop your career within an ambitious and internationally focused organisation
