• Serve as a trusted liaison with competent authorities, effectively representing the company’s interests.

Who you are:

• Hold a university degree in chemistry, with a strong background in polymer chemistry being a plus.
• Possess a deep understanding of European regulations and REACH-like frameworks globally.
• Bring at least 10 years of proven experience within a Regulatory Affairs environment.
