Key Responsibilities

• Manage product compliance from initial concept through to artwork sign-off, testing, and range management.

• Oversee testing programmes with accredited labs, toxicologists, and technical specialists.

What they're Looking For

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in the toy industry with significant international product compliance exposure.
• In-depth knowledge of global toy safety legislation, testing standards, test report reviews, and technical files.
• Ability to find compliant, creative solutions rather than simply flagging roadblocks.
