Osmo is a digital olfaction company developing AI/ML-powered technology to give computers a sense of smell for applications across fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and other industries. The company is headquartered in Elizabeth, NJ with an additional office in Somerville, MA.
You will own the interpretation and implementation of regulatory requirements for fragrance ingredients and finished products 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.
Key responsibilities include:
- 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, 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
- Lead regulatory database and documentation strategy, setting standards for accuracy and structure
- Support Perfumery, Procurement, Quality, Manufacturing, and Commercial teams 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
- Track emerging global regulatory trends and translate them into concrete business recommendations
The role offers real growth potential to shape a fast-growing regulatory function, catered lunch (Mon/Wed/Fri), 401(k) with employer match, competitive salary with meaningful equity, flexible PTO, paid family leave, and commuter benefits. Complimentary shuttle service is provided from Brooklyn and Newark, NJ.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biology, Regulatory Affairs, Toxicology, or related field
- 8+ years in regulatory affairs, within the fragrance industry (fragrance experience required)
- Demonstrated global/multi-market regulatory experience—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 judgment to apply them where clear precedent doesn't exist
- Strong communication skills with 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; experience acting as regulatory advisor during due diligence or audits.
