Job Description

We’re hiring a Product Compliance Specialist to drive day-to-day product compliance for our consumer hard goods (drinkware, food-contact materials) and to advise on regulatory protocols as we scale. You’ll be the primary point of contact for internal regulatory requests, review and track testing, keep documentation tight, and continuously improve the processes that keep us compliant. You will stay ahead of regulatory shifts and research new-category requirements, and translate them into clear, actionable updates to our protocols. Your specific responsibilities will include:

Execution & Ownership

• Primary point of contact for internal regulatory information requests (e.g. originating from retailers, distributors, and licensing partners).
• Regulatory report management: track and review incoming reports, follow up with manufacturers, own the document library, maintain a regulatory scorecard.
• Retailer & partner submissions: complete portal questionnaires, upload evidence, and close out follow-ups with clear, timely communication.

Labeling, Packaging & Claims

• Review domestic and international product labeling and packaging for compliance (warnings, materials disclosures, country/market statements).
• Support claims verification to ensure substantiation and correct use in marketing and on-pack.

Monitoring, Research & Guidance

• Advise on protocol and strategy: recommend changes to our regulatory protocol and author updates when requirements or business scope change.
• Research regulatory needs for new product categories and recommend the regulatory protocol (testing, documentation, labeling) tailored to product risk and market.
• Monitor regulatory developments and industry trends (e.g. emerging high-visibility chemicals like PFAS) and recommend action.

Process Development & Continuous Improvement

• Build and refine templates, checklists, and workflows that improve response time and reduce rework.
• Implement simple KPIs (e.g., on-time submissions, right-first-time documentation, turnaround time) and drive root-cause fixes.

Communication & Collaboration

• Communicate effectively with international teams and cross-functional teams (PD/Engineering, Sales, Legal, Marketing); keep stakeholders informed of status, risks, and actions.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years in product compliance/regulatory affairs for physical consumer products (hard goods, food contact preferred).
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in related field (quality/regulatory, materials/polymer science, or similar) or equivalent relevant experience (5+ years of product compliance experience in consumer hard goods).
• US/EU regulatory fluency: practical experience with FDA 21 CFR, Reg. EU No. 10/2011, California Prop 65, etc., and familiarity with CPSIA and labeling norms.
• Documentation literacy: ability to read lab reports, assess supplier declarations, and review retailer/licensor test protocols.
• **Organization & detail: **ownership of regulatory database accuracy, document lifecycle, and evidence traceability across product families and SKUs.
• Communication: crisp writing and stakeholder updates; confident coordination with overseas suppliers and labs.
• Nice to have: prior creation of scorecards or dashboards for compliance tracking, artwork/packaging review experience, DoC/technical file authorship for EU.
