• Cross-Functional Impact Assessment Coordination: Take the lead role in coordinating impact assessments of new or changed requirements, working with cross-functional partners (EHS, VMRD, Quality, Global Manufacturing, Public Affairs, Legal). Ensure assessments are completed, compliance plans are documented, and actions are tracked to closure.
• Regulatory Intelligence Communications: Lead the development and distribution of regulatory intelligence newsletters, regulatory watch notifications, and ad hoc query responses. Review and quality-check RI communication outputs produced by team members.
• External Consultation Responses: Coordinate timely company responses to draft guidance, standards, and consultations. Manage the process of engaging SMEs, consolidating inputs, and ensuring submissions reflect a clear, defensible company position.
• Industry Association Representation: Represent the company in relevant industry associations (e.g., AHI) and regulatory forums. Contribute to working groups and help shape industry-level regulatory positions.
• EPR Reporting & Producer Responsibility Administration: May serve as the internal administrator for Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) obligations.
