Full Job Description
About the Role

Osmo is seeking an experienced regulatory professional to own the interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements for fragrance ingredients and fragrance oils across global markets. This role operates with significant independence, resolving complex and novel compliance questions and advising cross-functional teams on regulatory risk before it becomes a blocker.

What You'll Do:
  • Interpret and implement regulatory requirements for fragrance ingredients and finished products across global markets (EU, US, UK, and key APAC/LATAM jurisdictions), spanning IFRA, REACH, EU Cosmetic Regulation, and FDA/MoCRA, and other applicable frameworks - exercising independent judgment on ambiguous or novel questions
  • Drive compliance with IFRA standards, determining when and how formulations must change ahead of restrictions and amendments - not just in response to them
  • Lead regulatory database and documentation strategy, setting the standards for accuracy and structure that others follow
  • Support Perfumery, Procurement, Quality, Manufacturing, and Commercial as the regulatory authority in product development decisions
  • Conduct regulatory risk assessments on raw materials, formulations, and finished products, surfacing compliance issues proactively
  • Support the Product Stewardship & Regulatory lead for customer-facing compliance inquiries, including judgment calls on what documentation satisfies customer-specific requirements
  • Track emerging global regulatory trends and translate them into concrete business recommendations ahead of formal rule changes


Who You Are:
  • Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biology, Regulatory Affairs, Toxicology, or a related field with 8+ years in regulatory affairs, within the fragrance industry (fragrance experience required)
  • Demonstrated global/multi-market regulatory experience - you have owned compliance across more than one major jurisdiction (e.g., EU and US), not a single home market (global experience required)
  • Deep working knowledge of IFRA standards, REACH, EU Cosmetic Regulation (1223/2009), and other relevant global regulations - with the judgment to apply them where clear precedent doesn't exist
  • Strong communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to advise cross-functional stakeholders and influence decisions on regulatory risk
  • Familiarity with fragrance formulation and raw materials


Ways to Stand Out:
  • Experience building or restructuring a regulatory function, not just operating within one
  • Experience acting as regulatory advisor during due diligence or audits


What We Offer:
  • Real Growth Path - Room to shape a fast-growing regulatory function and take on more scope and responsibility; formal leveling and career path still being mapped by Devin and Kristen
  • Catered Lunch - Mon/Wed/Fri; Newark, NJ and Brooklyn shuttles
  • 401(k) savings plan and employer match
  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company
  • Flexible PTO and paid family leave
  • Commuter benefits (pre-tax transit and parking)
