Product Safety & Compliance Manager

Job Title:

Product Safety & Compliance Manager Role Overview:

Getting the certifications right is table stakes. What’s harder — and more important — is building a compliance function that stays ahead of the regulatory landscape as the product line expands, new markets open up, and standards evolve. We’re looking for someone who can do both.

The Product Safety & Compliance Manager at Turtlebox owns all regulatory certifications and product safety requirements across our speaker and accessories portfolio. You’ll work closely with Engineering and the QEM on design requirements, manage our relationships with certification labs, and keep the product development team informed on what’s required and when.

This role is well-suited to someone who has done compliance work at a consumer electronics company and understands that the goal isn’t paperwork — it’s making sure nothing leaves the factory that shouldn’t be in the market.

We’re in a team-building phase, which means this role will evolve. You’ll need to be comfortable stepping into gaps, building processes, and adapting as we scale. The compliance function here is yours to shape.

• Manage the product compliance database and ensure it’s accessible to the team
• Prepare and maintain regulatory declarations required for product sale and import

Own Manual Literature and Packaging Compliance

• Own the regulatory requirements for all product manual literature — safety warnings, multilingual statements, required disclosures, and market-specific legal copy
• Define and maintain packaging compliance requirements — regulatory markings, labeling standards (FCC , CE mark, WEEE, battery disposal symbols), and country-specific packaging mandates
• Review all manual and packaging content for compliance accuracy before production release — you are the final sign-off
• Work with Marketing, , and Operations to ensure compliance requirements are built into packaging and literature workflows, not retrofitted at the end

Battery, Material, and Environmental Safety

• Own battery and power system compliance — UN 38.3, IEC 62133, and transport safety requirements
• Ensure material compliance across the product portfolio — RoHS, REACH, Prop 65, and supplier material declarations
• Define and manage environmental and durability testing requirements in partnership with Engineering and the Validation Engineer
• Work with suppliers on material compliance and support incoming material documentation

Product Safety

• Review new product designs against applicable safety standards and flag risk areas early
