This is a hands‑on individual contributor role requiring strong judgment, structured thinking, and the ability to collaborate effectively across functions.

As Meaningful Beauty continues to evolve and expand its portfolio, the strength of its quality systems and compliance infrastructure must match the size and complexity of the brand. This role strengthens the brand’s ability to:

• Lead investigations related to deviations, quality issues, and corrective actions.
• Maintain product retains and quality standards.
• Monitor complaint trends and ensure appropriate documentation and follow up.
• Ensure documentation is structured, complete, and audit ready.

• Manage product registrations and required filings across applicable regulatory bodies.
• Ensure compliance with FDA cosmetic regulations and applicable OTC monograph requirements, including sunscreen labeling and Drug Facts panel standards.
• Review formula and labeling documentation to ensure compliance prior to launch.
• Maintain current raw material and supplier regulatory documentation.
• Oversee adverse event documentation and required reporting.
• Partner with Legal and cross‑functional teams on claims and labeling considerations.

• Collaborate closely with Sourcing & Operations, Packaging Engineering, and R&D to ensure alignment between innovation, manufacturability, and compliance.
• Provide practical, proportionate risk assessment during development and production.
• Elevate significant compliance or quality concerns to leadership when appropriate.
• Support the business in minimizing late‑stage production surprises and post‑launch compliance issues.

The ideal candidate will be a detail‑oriented expert in quality assurance and regulatory compliance within the beauty or personal care industry who is able to work collaboratively with cross‑functional teams to ensure product integrity and compliance across Meaningful Beauty’s portfolio of products.

• 8+ years of experience in quality assurance and/or regulatory within beauty or personal care.
• Strong working knowledge of FDA cosmetic regulations.
• Exposure to OTC products (sunscreen experience preferred but not required to be the primary focus).
• Experience working with contract manufacturers.
• Highly detail‑oriented with strong documentation discipline.
• Experience reviewing COAs, batch documentation, and managing deviations.
• Familiarity with adverse event documentation processes.
• Sound business judgment with the ability to balance compliance rigor and operational practicality.
