Remote, Full-time

About Us

At Novi Connect, we’re powering the shift to conscious commerce. We envision a world of trustworthy CPG products for healthier people and planet. We build technology that helps retailers and brands meet surging consumer demand and grow loyalty through sustainability programs, certifications, badges, and other values-based designations.

We’re a female-founded company helmed by a diverse team of data scientists, chemists, technologists, and CPG experts. We’re also parents, veterans, marathoners, DIY-ers, Swifties, plane-flying welders, Rubik’s Cube champions, sustainability obsessives, and hobby farmers. We draw on experience from companies like BCG, Target, Beautycounter, UL, NielsenIQ, Amazon, Yelp, Eventbrite, WeWork, Upwork, and NASA.

Novi Connect is headquartered in the SF Bay Area, with offices in LA and presence in NYC, Nashville, and Toronto. We’re backed by leading venture capital firms Greylock Partners, Khosla Ventures, Maveron Ventures, Cowboy Ventures, and Tiger Global; clean living pioneer Jessica Alba; The Lean Startup author Eric Ries; and the board members and founders of Clorox, P&G, The Honest Company, Wealthfront, OpenTable, Gilt Groupe, and Eventbrite.

The opportunity for more transparent and sustainable consumer packaged goods is vast – a $2.5 trillion market in 2024. While we started in the Personal Care & Beauty industry, we’re now serving an expanding list of categories, including Household Essentials, Packaged Food & Beverage, Baby, Pet Care, and Vitamins & Supplements.

What We're Looking For

Today, Novi works with hundreds of the fastest-growing beauty and personal care brands, major retailers, and top global CPGs. The industry we're tackling is fragmented and complex, and the value we can bring is enormous.

A key factor for Novi to realize that potential will be how effectively we position our brand and offering in the market, communicate the value we can deliver for each member of our network (brands, formulators, suppliers, and manufacturers), and engage and guide our users to get more value out of Novi.

That’s why we’re looking for a creative, strategic, and deeply empathetic Regulatory Affairs Specialist who can help us achieve those goals. In this role, you will be reporting to the Head of Chemistry & Sustainability and will be responsible for

• Expanding Novi’s global regulatory policies through continuous research on international markets, including regulatory standards, product classification, labeling, and registration requirements.
• Monitoring and staying up-to-date with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards.
• Leveraging chemical hazard assessments (CHA) to identify safe, functional alternatives to potentially toxic or undesirable ingredients, using comprehensive health and environmental data and green chemistry principles
• Maintaining Novi's hazard lists and policies, ensuring data accuracy and integrity.
• Collaborating with Marketing and Community teams to develop educational content and maintain data integrity within Novi's vetting engine.
• Interpreting and communicating regulatory requirements to internal teams, providing guidance and support as needed.

About You

• Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g. Regulatory Affairs, Biology, Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline). Advanced degree preferred.
• 2+ years of experience in regulatory affairs or a related field, preferably in the beauty and personal care or food industry
• Strong knowledge of relevant regulations, standards, and guidelines (e.g., FDA, EPA, ISO, etc.).
