#TEAMBULK ARE HIRING A REGULATORY AFFAIRS ASSOCIATE

Bulk™ is on an incredible journey, with a mission to move the business from a manufacturing-led retailer to a destination brand for active nutrition. We are shaking up the sports nutrition industry through disruptive marketing campaigns that help people think differently about our brand – and we want you to be a part of it!

We want passionate risk-takers. We want people that like to challenge our thinking. We want people that live and breathe digital and have an affinity to the world of nutrition, health, fitness, and sports.

IN A NUTSHELL

Reporting to the Regulatory Affairs Manager, this Regulatory Affairs Associate is a key member of the Regs team within the wider Technical function.

This role plays a critical part in ensuring business-wide compliance, safeguarding Bulk™ against regulatory risk, and enabling confident product launches across the UK and key EU markets. You will take ownership of core regulatory activities, from pack copy approval to ingredient risk assessment, while also contributing to the expansion into new international markets.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING? 

• Own regulatory sign-off for formulations, pack copy, artwork, and web content, ensuring compliance across all markets

• Maintain and develop regulatory databases, supporting accurate and consistent product information

• Monitor regulatory changes (horizon scanning) and translate these into clear business actions

• Partner with internal teams and third parties to deliver compliant product launches, including pre-market notifications

• Assess new ingredients and claims, supporting innovation with clear risk-based guidance

• Lead responses to non-compliance, driving corrective actions and continuous improvement

• Initiate and manage regulatory updates to packaging and digital content

• Act as the regulatory point of contact for designated markets, providing expert guidance across the business

• Support key compliance activities, including nutrition surveillance, product specifications, international registrations, and audits
  

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? 

We’re looking for someone who combines strong regulatory expertise with a proactive, solutions-focused mindset - someone who’s confident navigating complexity while keeping the end consumer in mind.

• Ideally, you'll have a degree in Food Science, Nutrition, Food Law, or a related field

• Around 2+ years’ experience in a regulatory role within food manufacturing, retail, or consultancy

• Solid, hands-on knowledge of UK and EU food and food supplements regulations, with experience across formulation checks, pack copy, and label sign-off

• Highly organised with a sharp eye for detail (you spot what others might miss!)

• A clear and confident communicator, able to simplify complex regulatory requirements for a range of stakeholders

• Proactive and pragmatic, with a natural instinct for problem-solving and continuous improvement

• Comfortable working at pace, managing multiple priorities, and adapting as the business evolves

• Strong systems and data mindset, with experience working across databases and digital tools

• Fluent in English

Nice-to-have:

• An additional EU language (e.g. German, Italian, French, Spanish, or Polish)

• Experience supporting expansion into international (non-EU) markets

• Exposure to audits and third-party regulatory inspections
