Job Description

At Rituals, we’re growing fast—expanding into new markets, opening 200+ stores a year, and strengthening our global online presence. With this rapid growth, ensuring the quality and compliance of our products is more important than ever.

As a Product Compliance Specialist, you’ll play a key role in ensuring that our products meet all regulatory requirements before they reach our customers. Working closely with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and regulatory authorities, you’ll help shape compliance processes and maintain the highest product standards.

In this role, you will:

  • Report to the Compliance Manager as part of the Sourcing, Quality & Regulatory Department.
  • Manage compliance documentation (artworks, product information files, packaging files, safety data sheets) to ensure our assortment meets international regulations.
  • Act as a key contact for local and international suppliers, collaborating with them on technical compliance documentation.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate compliance into sourcing, supply planning, and innovation processes.
  • Follow-up on regulatory changes, working closely with the Regulatory Affairs team to ensure continuous product compliance.
  • Support the Manager's Product Compliance in communication with market surveillance authorities.
  • Participate in rework operations projects, providing compliance expertise to ensure all assortment updates align with evolving legislation.

Qualifications

We’re looking for a detail-oriented compliance professional with a proactive mindset and strong organizational skills. You have:

  • A degree in Chemistry, Law, or equivalent experience.
  • 4+ years of experience in a Compliance or Regulatory Affairs role, preferably in cosmetics or FMCG.
  • Knowledge of EU and international regulations (EU Cosmetics Regulation, CLP, REACH, etc.).
  • Experience in packaging compliance (PPWD/PPWR) is a big plus.
  • Strong project management and planning skills.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to simplify complex compliance requirements.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, working effectively across teams and with external partners.
  • Fluency in English (both written and verbal).
