Regulatory Affairs Manager / Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist Vaping & Nicotine Products
Location: Manchester, UK
Working arrangement: On-site
Position Level
The successful candidate may be appointed at either Regulatory Affairs Manager or Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist level, depending on their directly relevant industry experience, regulatory expertise, and ability to independently manage international compliance projects.
Job Overview
The Regulatory Affairs Manager / Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist will support the international market access and regulatory compliance of the company’s vaping, e-cigarette, and nicotine-related products.
The role will focus on researching and interpreting regulatory requirements across global markets, identifying applicable product testing and registration requirements, coordinating with overseas laboratories and regulatory organizations, and providing practical compliance guidance to Product Development, R&D, and Marketing teams.
This is a regulatory interpretation and compliance project role rather than a laboratory testing or instrument-operation position.
Key Responsibilities
- Research, monitor, and interpret vaping, e-cigarette, and nicotine-product regulations, policies, and technical standards across the UK, Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and other target markets.
- Maintain clear and organized regulatory information and advise internal stakeholders on market-entry, product-testing, registration, and documentation requirements.
- Liaise with overseas laboratories, testing providers, regulatory consultants, and relevant external organizations to confirm applicable standards, testing scopes, required documents, and project timelines.
- Coordinate and monitor product testing, notification, and registration projects, identify documentation or compliance gaps, and follow up on outstanding actions.
- Review testing plans, reports, and supporting documents to confirm that they are appropriate and sufficiently complete for the intended regulatory or market-access purpose.
- Provide practical regulatory guidance to Product Development, R&D, Quality, and Supply Chain teams to help ensure that products meet target-market requirements.
- Review product packaging, labelling, warnings, descriptions, and marketing claims from a regulatory-compliance perspective.
- Prepare regulatory summaries, internal guidance, compliance updates, and training materials, and deliver regular compliance training to relevant teams.
