bout the role

What makes a beauty product ready to launch? At W Cosmetics, you’ll help answer that question by reviewing what goes into a product, what goes on the packaging and what we can say about it to customers.

Reporting to the Quality & Compliance Manager, you’ll support the regulatory compliance of our cosmetics portfolio across Australia and Current Zealand. You’ll work with teams across the business to identify compliance issues early, resolve them before launch and keep product records ready for audits and inspections.

What you’ll do

- Assess new and existing cosmetic formulations, check ingredient restrictions and help determine whether products are classified as cosmetics, therapeutic goods or other consumer products.
- Review ingredient lists, product labels, packaging artwork and marketing claims. Give teams clear, practical feedback on what needs to change.
- Work with suppliers to obtain and review ingredient declarations, specifications, safety data sheets and certificates.
- Maintain product compliance records, support risk assessments and help teams understand how regulatory changes affect the products they work on.
- Help improve the tools and processes the team uses to review products and manage compliance.





What you’ll bring

- Around 1–2 years’ experience in regulatory affairs, quality assurance, product compliance or technical services within cosmetics, personal care, therapeutic goods or consumer products.
- A degree in science, chemistry, toxicology, pharmaceutical sciences, regulatory affairs or a related discipline.
- An understanding of Australian cosmetics requirements, including AICIS, and New Zealand’s HSNO group standards.
- Experience reviewing product labels, packaging artwork and marketing claims.
- A sharp eye for detail and the ability to explain technical requirements clearly, manage several product reviews at once and work confidently with Microsoft Office.

Experience with supplier compliance, safety data sheets, ingredient databases or compliance software is welcome. Python or MySQL skills are a bonus.
