About the role

At Amazon, we work to be the most customer-centric company on earth. To get there, we need exceptionally talented, bright, and driven people. If you want to help us build the place to find and buy anything online, this is your chance to make history.

Our vision for Private Brand Safety, Sustainability and Compliance (SSC) is to support Amazon's mission of offering the widest selection of safe and compliant products to our customers. We are looking for a smart, hard-working, and creative Product Safety Compliance Manager to join our Global Requirements Team, managing safety and compliance for our Consumables Private Brands (non-food) portfolio: cosmetics and personal care, detergents and cleaning products, formulated household goods, and OTC/drug products.

Key job responsibilities

• Manage regulatory applicability for CPB consumables: review new and emerging regulations across cosmetics, detergents, formulated goods, and drugs/medical devices, assess impact on Amazon's Private Brands portfolio, and translate requirements into operational processes that close compliance gaps.
• Lead product safety investigations and manage customer complaints and incidents, working with the audit team on post-market surveillance, corrective actions, and market action recommendations.
• Respond to labelling queries and own labelling compliance across the portfolio, advising on claims, warnings, ingredient declarations, and market-specific labelling requirements.
• Partner with business teams on product development questions, providing early compliance input on formulations, claims, and ingredients to keep launches on track.
• Review product formulations, ingredient lists, Safety Data Sheets, and lab reports, and advise business teams on ingredient restrictions, permissible use levels, and compliance pathways.
• Manage product notification and registration obligations (e.g. US FDA cosmetics listing under MoCRA, EU CPNP for cosmetics, OTC drug facility and product listings, detergent ingredient disclosure).
• Provide subject-matter expertise and technical guidance to Legal on regulatory interpretation, upcoming rulemaking, and advocacy.
• Build scalable, multi-jurisdictional approaches and apply requirements flexibly to support the development of country-specific, regional, and global products.
• Develop guidance documents for internal teams on formulation, labelling, and packaging compliance.
• Support vendor onboarding through SDS and formulation review and ingredient inventory management.

A day in the life

You start your day reviewing regulatory intelligence alerts for new or changing consumables regulations across the US and EU, and assessing whether they apply to Amazon's cosmetics, detergent, formulated-goods, and OTC/drug portfolio.

On a given day you might investigate a customer safety complaint on a personal care product, answer a labelling query on ingredient declarations for a detergent, advise a business team on the compliance of a new formulation in development, review an SDS for a new vendor, or assess an EU Cosmetics Regulation restricted-substance update.
