A day in the life of a Regulatory Affairs Specialist

You’ll play a pivotal role in bringing our products to the market and supporting the marketing and development teams on exciting product launches. You will help ensure all our products are compliant against UK & Irish Food, Food Supplement and FSMP regulations.

You’ll also:

1. Check the accuracy and legal compliance of our labels and specifications.
2. Support with compilation of Medical Nutrition applications for submission to the UK and Irish prescribing authorities.
