As a Regulatory Scientist - Cosmetics, you’ll act as a subject matter expert in cosmetic regulations, partnering closely with cross‑functional teams to ensure compliance while empowering creativity. You’ll play a pivotal role in bringing safe, compliant, and inspiring products to market — all while helping shape the future of regulatory practice within the cosmetics industry.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Supporting the implementation of robust regulatory strategies to ensure compliance and commercial success.
• Providing regulatory expertise to innovation projects, enabling smooth and timely product launches.
• Creating, maintaining, and approving regulatory documentation, including submissions to databases.

• Experience preparing, reviewing, and submitting regulatory dossiers, notifications, and documentation.
• Working knowledge of QMS processes (SOPs, audits, CAPAs).
• Strong ability to interpret regulations, advise teams, and support compliance strategies.
• Proven track record of supporting new product launches through effective regulatory input.
• Excellent regulatory writing, documentation management, and database submission skills.

Why join us

This is more than a regulatory role — it’s an opportunity to be part of an organisation where science meets creativity. You’ll work alongside talented teams who are passionate about delivering products that consumers trust, value, and love.

If you’re driven by innovation, enjoy influencing change, and thrive in a collaborative environment, we’d love to hear from you.
