**We are open to considering candidates located in the Columbus, OH Metroplex AND the New York City Metroplex**
The Manager, Global Regulatory Affairs is responsible for leading regulatory strategy and execution across the product lifecycle to ensure compliant, efficient, and successful commercialization of beauty products in global markets. This role serves as both a technical regulatory expert and a cross-functional integrator, translating complex regulatory requirements-including formulation, claims, and packaging-related regulations-into clear, actionable business guidance.
The Manager partners closely with Product Development, R&D, Packaging, Safety, Quality, Legal, and Commercialization teams to embed regulatory and packaging requirements early in development, improve decision-making, and reduce downstream risk. In addition to supporting global market expansion and compliance execution, this role plays a key part in enhancing regulatory processes, strengthening cross-functional alignment, and enabling a more proactive, risk-based operating model.

Global Regulatory Strategy & Product Compliance
• Lead regulatory support for global product launches, reformulations, and portfolio maintenance across key markets.
• Conduct market-specific regulatory assessments (ingredients, claims, labeling, and packaging compliance) to identify requirements, risks, and necessary adaptations.
• Coordinate and execute regulatory submissions and notifications (e.g., CPNP, SCPN, and other global frameworks), ensuring accuracy and timeliness.

• Support portfolio and launch decisions by clarifying regulatory risks, tradeoffs, and timing considerations.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to embed regulatory requirements early in product development (concept, claims, formulation, packaging design, and pre-quant stages).
• Improve requirement clarity and timing to reduce late-stage rework and market-entry risk.
• Identify gaps in process, ownership, and handoffs, and drive improvements that strengthen execution discipline across product and packaging workflows.
Global Market Enablement & Emerging Issues
• Monitor global regulatory developments and enforcement trends impacting cosmetics and packaging (e.g., sustainability regulations, plastic reduction laws, labeling updates).
• Lead impact assessments and communicate implications to stakeholders, including Packaging, Product Development, and Commercial teams.
• Collaborate with external partners, consultants, and suppliers to ensure alignment with regulatory expectations for both product and packaging components.
Operational Excellence & Process Transformation

• Strengthen documentation workflows and data integrity, including specifications related to packaging materials, labeling, and environmental compliance.
• Contribute to building a more integrated, proactive product and packaging compliance model across the organization.
Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence
• Provide guidance, coaching, and mentorship to junior regulatory team members, supporting both technical regulatory and packaging compliance capabilities.
• Influence cross-functional stakeholders, including Packaging, Product Development, and Commercial teams, without direct authority to drive alignment and shared accountability.
