Associate Principal Regulatory Specialist

Dyson is a global technology enterprise. We’re growing fast and our ambition is huge – more categories, more locations and more people. Dyson launched in the US in 2002, and since then operations have grown exponentially. Our US headquarters is based in Chicago's Fulton Market neighborhood. We also have employees working in field sales, our service centers, and in our growing number of Dyson Demo Store’s across the country. 
 

We're committed to our campus culture and want to have people collaborating, developing, and learning from each other. By having everyone on campus together, we have been able to nurture a fantastic social and dynamic environment.   

At Dyson we are encouraged to think differently, challenge convention and be unafraid to make mistakes. We’re creative, collaborative, practical and enthusiastic. But most of all we’re hugely passionate about what we do. 

We push the barriers of engineering every day and challenge convention to develop world class products. To be successful in this, we must design products for compliance. This means collaborating at an early stage with design teams where we remove barriers to the global market.

The Global Product Regulations and Compliance team provide expertise and advice to support product development to obtain global market access. We are seeking an experienced US-based regulatory professional with strong OTC drug expertise and solid cosmetic regulatory knowledge to serve as the US regulatory subject matter expert within our Global Regulatory team

The successful candidate will act as Dyson’s official US regulatory contact and US Agent, providing authoritative guidance across the US portfolio while independently managing assigned projects from development through launch and post-market support.
