## Description (the employer's text)

### Who we are at Osmo

Osmo is the Olfactory Intelligence company, on a mission to give AI a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell has the ability to delight us, protect us, and heal us.

Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone.

We're headquartered in Elizabeth, NJ, with an additional office in Somerville, MA. We provide complimentary shuttle service from Brooklyn and Newark, NJ.

### 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)

If this role inspires you we’d encourage you to apply. We are committed to recruiting, developing, and retaining an incredible team optimized for a diversity of thought, background, and approaches.

Every posting lists the pay range and benefits for that role. Where you land in the range depends on skills, experience, scope, and internal equity. Full time employees receive a total rewards package that includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, a healthcare FSA, a 401(k) with company match, flexible paid time off, paid family leave, company holidays, and commuter benefits. Eligible roles also receive equity, which is subject to the terms of the equity plan and board approval and is not guaranteed. Applicants and employees may ask about and discuss their pay without retaliation.
