A regulatory affairs specialist is responsible for helping companies release safe products that meet legal compliance. They conduct tests and evaluate the manufacturing process to ensure everything is done under the legal scope.
Regulatory affairs specialists must also make sure that product labels match accurately nutritional and safety information. The product must do exactly what it advertises on its label. They will also perform post-marketing follow-ups.
Regulatory affairs specialists must keep track of any changes and trends in regulatory compliance. They’ll frequently meet with authorities and stakeholders and often be part of the negotiation processes. If the manufacturer is facing legal issues, the regulatory affairs specialist will participate in conflict resolution.
