As a growing organisation, there is ample opportunity for career progression for high-performing staff.

Location

We have offices in Edinburgh, Swansea (United Kingdom), and Lyon (France). We'd be happy to accommodate you at any of our offices, or the position can be fully remote in the United Kingdom or France.

Regulatory Strategy Development: Provide strategic regulatory advice on EU and UK regulatory requirements, using creative and innovative approaches to improve the cost-benefit to our clients.

Dossier Preparation & Submission: Coordinate the compilation of active substance and biocidal product dossiers for EU and GB submission.

Advocacy & Stakeholder Engagement: Liaise with regulatory authorities (EFSA, CRD, ECHA) and participate in expert groups, workshops, and regulatory consultations.

Project & Client Management: Lead client projects, ensuring high-quality, timely deliverables and maintaining strong client relationships.

Requirements

Essential Qualifications & Experience:

• Degree education in a related technical field.
• Ideally 5+ years of biocide regulatory experience in industry, consultancy, or regulatory agencies, although allowances may be made for less experienced staff with the right potential.
• Strong working knowledge of Regulation (EU) 528/2012.
• Experience in dossier preparation for EU and UK active substance and/or product submissions.

• Experience working with a broad range of biocidal product types from an industry or regulator perspective.
• Demonstrable track record of successful management of the validation and evaluation processes for biocide dossiers.
• Experience engaging with regulatory authorities and representing clients in meetings.
• Any additional technical specialism associated with chemistry, efficacy, human safety, or environmental safety, would be desirable but not essential.
