  • Ensure compliance with global regulatory standards (FDA, CPSC, REACH, Prop 65, etc.)
  • Oversee root cause analysis and the creation and implementation of corrective action plans
  • Lead product risk assessment reviews
  • Monitor vendor assessments
  • Assess projects for potential problems proactively avoiding them and / or quickly resolving them
  • 📊 Operational Excellence

  • Partner with the Vice President of Operations to build and refine SOPs, KPIs, and reporting systems to drive continuous improvement
  • Translate strategic initiatives into actionable operational plans with milestone tracking and accountability.
  • Provide regular performance reports highlighting risks and opportunities

  • Record of preventing and solving problems
  • Deep knowledge of product testing, regulatory compliance, and quality systems
  • Proven track record in global sourcing and logistics
  • Demonstrated ability to understand client perspectives, set clear expectations, and tactfully resolve issues in a manner that preserves strong, collaborative relationships.
  • Strong leadership, communication, and project management skills
  • Champion of AI / technology integration
  • Bonus : Experience with sustainability initiatives
  • Why Join Us?

  • Work with a passionate, collaborative team shaping the future of consumer products
  • Opportunity to help lead and scale operations in a high-growth environment
  • Competitive compensation, benefits, and room for advancement
  • Hybrid work environment of work from home three days a week and in our dedicated office at The Preserve (Hollywood, CA) two days a week
