Senior Manager, Regulatory

About the role

Grüns is redefining how people experience health and performance through daily nutrition. We develop scientifically backed, high-quality dietary supplements designed to support multiple aspects of health and wellness, without compromise. Our mission is to set a new standard for transparency, efficacy, and compliance in the wellness industry. We move fast, think cross-functionally, and uphold the highest scientific and regulatory standards.

The Senior Manager, Regulatory will serve as a critical member of the Science & Regulatory team, ensuring that every Grüns product, claim, and communication meets applicable regulatory standards. Reporting directly to the Director of Science and Regulatory, this role will lead day-to-day regulatory operations, including label reviews, claims substantiation oversight, and compliance risk management. The ideal candidate brings deep knowledge of FDA and FTC regulations for dietary supplements, experience managing regulatory documentation and product labeling, and a proactive mindset that balances innovation with compliance.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a bi-annual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

In this role, you will:

• Regulatory Leadership & Compliance Oversight: Maintain regulatory documentation, including ingredient dossiers, substantiation files, certificates of analysis, and specification sheets. You’ll be the lynchpin in the compliance structure.
• Labeling & Product Lifecycle Management: Lead the regulatory review and approval process for all product labels, packaging, and marketing claims to ensure compliance with applicable guidelines. You’ll help ensure that all customer-facing content is both compliant and compelling.
• Regulatory Intelligence & Risk Management: Track emerging global regulatory frameworks impacting dietary supplements and functional foods, monitor and interpret FDA warning letters and FTC enforcement actions, manage adverse event reporting, and recommend strategies to mitigate risk. You’ll proactively protect the business with a compliance-first outlook.
• Internal Education: Develop clear and scalable SOPs and training materials to upskill internal teams. By year one, these should be embedded in onboarding and internal communications to ensure cross-functional fluency.

We're looking for someone who:

• Experience: 6-8 years of experience in science, regulatory affairs, or product development, including at least 4+ years within the dietary supplement or food industry in a related capacity. Proven track record of regulatory management from concept through post-launch. Prior people management experience is highly desired. Regulatory Affairs Certification or equivalent, a plus.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree or higher in a health-related scientific field (ex. nutrition, molecular biology, biochemistry, toxicology, public health, etc.). Master’s or JD preferred.
• Regulatory Fluency: Deep working knowledge of FDA and FTC regulations governing dietary supplements, especially regarding labeling, structure/function claims, and substantiation. Strong analytical ability to interpret scientific literature and apply it to regulatory decision-making. Experience with GRAS assessments, new dietary ingredient (NDI) submissions, and conventional foods and beverages, a plus.
• Organizational Skills: Excellent project management and documentation skills. High proficiency with regulatory databases, tracking tools, and workflow platforms.
• Solution-Oriented Mindset: Brings a collaborative, can-do approach to problem solving, focused on finding paths forward rather than roadblocks. Knows how to assess risk thoughtfully and take smart, calculated bets when needed.
• Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to tailor communication to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Working Style: Curious, solutions-oriented, collaborative, and organized with a bias toward action and creating scalable processes.

Approach to the Role:

• Self-motivated — takes ownership, anticipates needs, and drives work forward without waiting for direction.
• Detail-oriented — spots inconsistencies, ensures accuracy, and maintains a high bar for regulatory precision.
• Highly organized — brings structure to complex workflows, manages multiple reviews at once, and keeps documentation airtight.
• Time-efficient — prioritizes well, moves quickly, and knows how to deliver high-quality work under fast timelines.
• Collaborative — works seamlessly across Science, Product, Brand, Quality, and Ops, building trust through clear communication and a solution-first mindset.
