re Purpose Global helps consumer brands meet their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations for packaging across a fast-growing set of U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. Canada's EPR landscape spans multiple provincial programs — each with its own Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), material lists, reporting rules, and deadlines — alongside a national harmonization effort and federal reporting requirements still taking shape, and the pace of change is only accelerating.

Producers count on us to help them navigate this complexity with confidence, which relies on experts who grasp dense regulatory text and turn it into simple, actionable direction.

As a Compliance & Sustainability Intelligence Manager, you'll own the outward-facing side of that work: tracking regulatory change as it happens, educating customers and prospects, and translating dense statutory and program requirements into guidance producers can act on with confidence. This position carries a Canada-first workload — provincial regulation, the harmonization wave, PRO relationships, and federal reporting — paired with a deliberate flex lane into emerging and adjacent material categories.

It's a highly visible role — you'll be one of the main faces of re Purpose Global's regulatory and compliance expertise to the market.

A defining part of the job is our webinar program, which you'll own end to end: shaping the topic and narrative, building the content, presenting live to audiences of producers, and fielding the technical and regulatory questions that follow. Between webinars, you'll answer the steady stream of customer and prospect questions that come with a shifting regulatory environment, produce written regulatory intelligence and market education, and equip our sales and customer teams with the talking points and materials they need.

It's a builder's role, too — much of Canada's program landscape, and the material categories beyond packaging, are still taking shape, so you'll create structure where little exists yet, maintain relationships with PROs and other external stakeholders, and feed what you learn back into the product and roadmap alongside our technical, product, and customer success teams.

• Track Canadian regulatory change and turn it into intelligence. Monitor provincial programs, PRO program plans and material lists, the harmonization effort, and federal reporting as it takes shape — and distill what's changing into guidance the team and customers can use.
• Be a trusted first point of contact for regulatory questions. Field customer and prospect questions on EPR obligations, fees, reporting categories, exemptions, and deadlines with empathy and clarity, converting dense rules into plain-language, service-oriented guidance that builds producer confidence and establishes audit-ready documentation.
• Own the webinar & thought leadership program. Plan the calendar and topics, build the content and narrative, host live sessions for producer audiences, and lead the follow-up Q&A — treating webinars as a core, recurring pillar of our market education and audience growth.
• Create education and enablement content. Write regulatory briefs, policy gap assessments, regulatory updates, blog posts, FAQs, explainers, and one-pagers, and build the talking points and materials that equip the sales, marketing, and customer success teams to speak accurately and authoritatively about EPR.
• Drive material-lane expansion. Inform strategy on emerging and adjacent…
