Senior Regulatory Specialist / Regulatory Manager (Chemicals & Stewardship)

Are you a hands-on regulatory professional ready to advance your career? Join a growing company that values work-life balance and personal well-being. They offer a 35-hour workweek, with reduced hours in summer to 30 hours to accommodate school holidays or leisure.

We are partnering with a rapidly expanding chemical business, which has nearly doubled in size over the past year—from 50 to 85 employees—and plans to hire 15 more this year. This role is pivotal within this growth phase.

The company seeks a Senior Regulatory Specialist or a Regulatory Manager depending on your experience. You will be involved in setting up software systems, with a team to support hands-on tasks. The role includes strategic input, line management, and representing the company in regulatory matters across a global customer base in specialty chemicals.

The Role:

This is more than compliance. You will leverage your expertise in SDS authoring, classification, and regulations (CLP, REACH, DGSA, IATA). You will lead a team, provide technical guidance, and liaise with suppliers and stakeholders.

Within 12 months, there is potential to evolve into a Regulatory Manager role, offering significant career progression.

Responsibilities:

• Lead stewardship procedures for global chemical and environmental compliance.
• Manage SDS and labelling compliance processes.
• Ensure REACH and CLP compliance throughout product lifecycle.
• Advise on dangerous goods transportation and liaise with suppliers and clients.
• Support sustainability and environmental reporting initiatives.
• Collaborate with Technical, Commercial, and Logistics teams.
• Set up systems and address technical questions, maintaining a hands-on approach.

Qualifications:

• BSc or higher in chemistry or related scientific discipline.
• Experience with SDS authoring, chemical classification, REACH, and CLP.
• Leadership or mentoring experience preferred.
• Global regulatory exposure is a plus.
• Self-driven, adaptable, eager to grow into leadership.

Why Join?

• A company that promotes a healthy lifestyle, not just a job.
• Flexible working arrangements and a focus on employee well-being.
• Friendly, collaborative culture.
• Opportunities for career growth amid company expansion.
