• Collaborate across regions to harmonize regulatory processes, support digitalization initiatives, and represent the company in relevant industry associations.

Do You Dream of Working in a Culture of Inclusion, Transparency, and Support? Here’s what it takes to become our next team member.

• A university degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Data-related scientific fields, or similar with experience working with digital regulatory systems, databases, spreadsheets, and reporting tools.
• Experience from a Regulatory Affairs role within the chemicals, coatings, or manufacturing industry.
• Solid knowledge of European chemical legislation, particularly EU REACH and practical product stewardship.
• Advanced skills in Excel (e.g. structured data handling, pivot tables, formulas); experience with Power BI or similar reporting tools is a strong advantage.
• Fluency in English; additional European languages are an advantage.

You bring a structured, analytical, and pragmatic mindset, enabling you to translate complex regulatory data into clear and actionable insights.
