Regulatory Affairs Team Lead – Biocides

Location: Home Working* – EU Wide

Ref: BT.770000.1 / #LI-BT1

Introduction

Our client is a global scientific consultancy providing regulatory and research services to the chemical, biocidal, and agrochemical industries. The company has grown steadily through both organic expansion and strategic partnerships, continually strengthening its presence across Europe and beyond. With a strong reputation for technical excellence, scientific integrity, and collaborative teamwork, the organisation supports clients in navigating complex regulatory frameworks and bringing safe, compliant products to market. As part of their continued growth, they are seeking an experienced Regulatory Affairs Team Lead – Biocides to oversee a team of regulatory experts and play a pivotal role in delivering high-quality biocidal submissions and strategies.

Why This Role Stands Out

The company is entering an exciting phase of expansion, marked by sustained growth and investment in its people, systems, and regulatory capabilities. Joining at this stage offers the opportunity to influence how the regulatory function evolves and contributes to the company’s wider success. You’ll lead a team of motivated specialists, managing complex biocidal dossiers while shaping long-term regulatory strategies that directly impact client outcomes. With access to extensive internal expertise and modern systems, you’ll have the tools and autonomy to deliver meaningful results and make a visible impact from day one.

At the heart of the company’s culture is a genuine commitment to collaboration, innovation, and professional development. Employees are encouraged to challenge conventions, share ideas, and contribute to continuous improvement across the business. As a team leader, you will play a central role in fostering this environment,supporting professional growth within your team, encouraging open communication, and helping to build a culture of excellence and mutual respect. This is a place where strong scientific thinking is paired with supportive leadership and where contributions are recognised and rewarded.

In addition, the company’s consultative model allows for meaningful client engagement and intellectual variety. Rather than focusing narrowly on compliance, you’ll be part of shaping broader strategies that anticipate regulatory changes, streamline processes, and drive efficiency for clients across multiple markets. This combination of technical challenge, leadership responsibility, and strategic influence makes this an outstanding opportunity for someone ready to take the next step in their regulatory career.

Key Responsibilities

* Lead and manage a team of biocidal regulatory specialists, providing guidance, mentorship, and performance feedback.
* Oversee preparation and submission of regulatory dossiers for biocidal products across multiple markets.
* Ensure compliance with national and EU biocidal regulations, keeping up to date with regulatory developments.
* Collaborate with clients to develop regulatory strategies and provide technical support.
* Manage project timelines, resources, and budgets to ensure on-time delivery of regulatory projects.
* Promote knowledge sharing, training, and professional development within the regulatory team.
* Build and maintain relationships with regulatory authorities and industry stakeholders.

Key Requirements

* Advanced degree in Chemistry, Biology, Toxicology, or a related scientific discipline.
* Extensive experience in biocidal regulatory affairs, including dossier preparation and submission.
* Proven experience managing or mentoring a team of regulatory professionals.
* Strong knowledge of EU and national biocidal regulations (BPR) and related guidance documents.
* Excellent project management skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
* Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to interact effectively with clients, authorities, and colleagues.
* Proficiency in English; additional European languages are an advantage.

Additional Information

This is a leadership position within a growing international organisation offering genuine scope for influence, collaboration, and career development. You will be joining a company with a strong scientific foundation and a forward-thinking approach to regulation. Competitive compensation, professional growth opportunities, and a supportive working culture are all part of the package.
