• Leverage internal processes and software systems, including UL WERCS Studio and Oracle, to support product stewardship and customer regulatory requirements.
• Support global notification activities and REACH obligations across international operations.
• Respond to customer requests for regulatory compliance statements and forms (e.g., global food contact, NSF, cosmetics, toys, and related applications).
• Process and manage raw material regulatory information within UL WERCS and Oracle systems.
• Manage WERCS revisions to support accurate generation of SDSs and product labels.
• Partner cross-functionally with Procurement, R&D, Sales & Marketing, Customer Service, EH&S, and Information Systems to maintain robust product stewardship programs.
• Contribute to continuous improvement efforts within regulatory systems and processes.
• Perform additional responsibilities as assigned.

What You Bring

You’ll be a great fit if you have:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry or a related science field.

• Familiarity with regulatory frameworks such as GHS SDSs, global food contact requirements, REACH, TSCA, EU Poison Centre Notifications, and global chemical inventories.
• Working knowledge of Product Stewardship principles.
• Strong planning, organizational, and database management skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, complex environment.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a collaborative mindset.
• Self-motivation, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.

Work Environment

This role is primarily office-based and requires:

• Daily use of computer systems and regulatory databases.
• Cross-functional collaboration with internal teams and global facilities.
