We are looking for a scientifically strong and detail oriented Regulatory Specialist to join our regulatory team in Kuopio. In this position, you will play a key role in supporting market authorisation processes for regulated feed and food products within the European Union. Your work will contribute directly to successful submissions under EU frameworks, helping our clients navigate complex scientific and regulatory requirements with clarity and confidence.

About the role

Your primary focus will be on preparing and managing EU regulatory submissions for feed and food products, including dossiers for additives, enzymes, novel foods, or other biotechnological products relevant to our clients. You will work with scientific data, regulatory guidance and structured documentation to ensure that each submission meets the requirements of European authorities.

This role suits someone who enjoys working at the intersection of science, regulation and structured problem solving, and who can maintain accuracy while handling large and diverse information sets.

Key responsibilities

You will:

Prepare and compile regulatory submissions for EU authorities, ensuring that the scientific evidence, study summaries and technical documentation meet EU requirements.

Analyse data packages, study reports and literature to determine compliance with EFSA guidance and other EU regulatory expectations.

Identify gaps or additional information needs and support clients in addressing scientific or regulatory questions during the submission process.

Monitor regulatory developments within the EU, understanding changes to relevant legislation, guidance and processes, and communicate their implications to internal teams and clients.

Collaborate closely with scientific, laboratory and consulting colleagues to gather information and coordinate the timely completion of submission materials.

Maintain clear, well organised documentation and contribute to continuous improvement of internal regulatory workflows.

What we expect from you

You hold a Master’s degree or PhD in a relevant life science field, such as biotechnology, microbiology, molecular biology, food science or related areas.

You have demonstrated experience in EU regulatory submissions for food, feed or other regulated biological products. Experience with EU authorisation frameworks such as feed additives, novel foods or food enzymes is a strong advantage.

You work systematically and handle complex scientific information with precision, while keeping overarching regulatory goals in view.

You communicate clearly and confidently in English in both written and spoken form. Knowledge of additional languages is considered beneficial.

You collaborate well with colleagues and clients, take ownership of your work, and are comfortable operating both independently and as part of a team.

What we offer

You will join a knowledgeable and supportive regulatory affairs team, contributing directly to the safe and compliant introduction of innovative feed and food products to the European market. We offer a role where your scientific expertise has tangible impact and where you can further deepen your understanding of EU regulatory frameworks.

The primary location for the position is Kuopio, Finland. Flexible working arrangements may be considered.
