INTRODUCTION

Lead a team at the heart of bringing life-changing animal health innovations to the world. As the Manager of Regulatory Operational Compliance, you'll oversee the team responsible for preparing global product documentation for a diverse portfolio of veterinary and water diagnostic products — partnering closely with R&D and Lines of Business to keep innovation moving from lab to market, worldwide.

This is a role for someone who thrives on solving complex problems, loves building better systems, and gets energy from leading people. You'll have the opportunity to drive continuous improvement toward a clear goal: consistent, accurate, and timely documentation for every regulatory submission — the kind of reliability that lets R&D and business teams move forward with confidence.

Why this role matters:

Every new diagnostic tool, every product update, every improvement to how we test and protect animal and environmental health depends on getting the documentation right the first time. Delays or inconsistencies in regulatory submissions can slow down products that veterinarians, labs, and pet owners around the world are counting on.

• Lead and develop a team responsible for the end-to-end creation of product documentation supporting global regulatory submissions
• Partner with stakeholders across the organization to assess the global impact of critical product changes
• Lead supply chain outreach efforts, partnering closely with procurement teams to ensure regulatory requirements are addressed across the supply base
• Develop standard process and align with ERP system function for control of product movement based on regulatory requirements
• Represent International Regulatory and Compliance on new product development and product change process, ensuring documents align with requirements
• Contribute to high-visibility, cross-functional projects — including initiatives tied to Quality and IDEXX's Quality Management Systems

What you need to succeed:

• Bachelor's degree with 3-5 years of experience in regulatory (or an equivalent combination of education and experience)
• 3+ years of people management experience, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams
• Strong organizational skills, with the ability to prioritize and direct regulatory work across competing priorities
