We are seeking a seasoned Compliance Manager to lead regulatory compliance across multiple product categories. This individual will oversee NSF certifications, EPA-regulated products, EPR reporting, and the organization’s intellectual property portfolio. This opening is due to an upcoming retirement, and the selected hire will benefit from a structured transition and knowledge‑transfer period.

• Act as the internal authority for NSF, EPA, and EPR compliance (must-have experience).
• Oversee roughly half of the NSF certifications within the company’s branded product lines.
• Maintain the EPR packaging compliance database and manage annual state reporting for CA, OR, and CO.
• Direct all patent and IP activities, including filings and ongoing maintenance, in partnership with external law firms.
• Support compliance for EU‑bound products, including plastics regulations and Prop 65 alignment.
• Monitor evolving regulations and translate requirements into actionable guidance for internal stakeholders.
• Work cross‑functionally with Quality, Engineering, Supply Chain, Marketing, and Product Development teams.
• Partner with external regulatory experts while serving as the in‑house subject matter expert.
• Minimal travel required (approximately 10–15%).

• 8–10+ years of experience in compliance, regulatory affairs, or quality within commercial‑grade or regulated product environments.
• Deep knowledge of NSF certifications, EPA regulations, and EPR reporting.
• Strong ability to interpret legislation and convert it into practical business requirements.
• Demonstrated independent operator with hands‑on, proven experience.
• Highly detail‑oriented with strong judgment and cross‑functional influence skills.
• Background in quality or engineering preferred; experience with plastics is a plus.
