Job Overview
We are a premium e-commerce brand that designs and sells fiber arts tools (crochet hooks and accessories) and are seeking a Product Compliance Specialist to help us identify and document the regulatory requirements for selling our products in the United States.
This role will focus on researching applicable product safety and material compliance requirements and helping us build a clear internal compliance framework. Our products are general consumer products and are not intended for children, and this classification is already stated on our website.
While the initial scope is U.S. compliance requirements, familiarity with REACH and other international chemical regulations is important because our suppliers and materials are global.
This project is focused on research and documentation, not legal representation.
