• Leading projects involving new raw materials and recipes with focus on regulatory and voluntary labelling compliance
• Communicating relevant legislative changes in due time for the business to take proper action
• Overseeing correspondence and letters to authorities and associations in relation to product certifications
• Engaging in relevant industry associations like CEPE and local paint organizations
• Act as a resource in the daily operation of regulatory affairs assignments

In addition to the above, one of your most important tasks will be to develop the team into a strong group function that can handle further centralization while also ensuring that we at the forefront of market legislative requirements.
