Pure Form is a leading provider of high-quality food supplements dedicated to promoting health and wellness through clean formulations, honest science, and thoughtful design.
Our mission extends beyond physical health — we aim to build a company where people thrive as much as the brand does. We believe that when our team grows in purpose, creativity, and balance, the brand naturally flourishes.
ROLE OVERVIEW
This is an opportunity to build the regulatory foundation of a fast-growing consumer health company expanding across Southeast Asia. You'll influence product innovation before launch, shape market-entry strategy, and partner directly with leadership to accelerate growth while protecting the integrity of our brands.
We are looking for a dynamic Regional Regulatory Affairs & Product Compliance Manager (Southeast Asia) to lead our regional regulatory strategy, oversee product compliance, and drive certification initiatives across ASEAN. This is a commercial regulatory role—not a back-office compliance function. You'll help the business find the compliant path to market while protecting our right to sell and enabling sustainable growth.
Success looks like products launching on schedule, registrations remaining current, suppliers meeting regulatory standards, and new product development progressing without unexpected regulatory roadblocks.
You'll partner closely with Growth, Operations, NPD, Marketing, and external manufacturers, suppliers, testing laboratories, and regulatory consultants. You'll also lead our Quality Assurance Specialist, allowing you to focus on regional strategy, market expansion, supplier qualification, and high-impact regulatory decisions.
