Support annual product reviews, deviation logs, and supplier quality programs
Maintain audit readiness and document control for all quality and regulatory files
Product Development
Support the regulatory and quality steps for each product launch from formula review through production
Track product timelines, testing schedules, and sample status across multiple projects
Maintain formulation, artwork, and testing documentation in shared systems
Partner cross‑functionally with Marketing, Operations, and Creative to ensure smooth, compliant launches
Partner Coordination
Serve as the main contact for regulatory consultants and external testing partners
Track deliverables and provide regular updates on project milestones to leadership
Support internal knowledge and process documentation as Carpe builds internal capability at increasing scale
Approximately 10-15% travel for on‑site visits to contract manufacturers or testing partners
Who You Are
Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (Cosmetic Science, Chemistry, Biology, or Toxicology preferred).
2–3 years of experience in Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance, or Research & Development in cosmetics, OTC, or personal care (or if you lack this experience, explain why you believe you have equivalent experience)
Working knowledge of FDA regulations [e.g., The Food Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MOCRA)], global regulatory frameworks (including European Union, Canada and Asia markets), and OTC drug regulations/monographs
Strong organizational and project management skills
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy
Clear communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
Bonus If You Have
Hands‑on experience managing regulatory or quality documentation
Exposure to global regulatory documentation, such as EU or Health Canada registrations
Experience with quality audits
What You’ll Get
Competitive salary based on experience
Health, vision, and dental benefits, with Carpe covering a portion
Flexible PTO
A front‑row seat to the growth of one of the most disruptive brands in body care
