Due to an internal promotion, we have an exciting new opportunity for a Regulatory Affairs professional to join the busy and dynamic Seafish Regulation team.

If you have experience in regulatory affairs and want to help business navigate the regulatory changes affecting the seafood industry, we would love to hear from you.

This new role is ideally suited to a person currently working in a regulatory affairs role with experience in helping industry understand and adapt to the rapidly changing rules after leaving the EU. Experience in food regulation would be preferred but not essential.

You will be working as part of a team of regulatory professionals tasked with monitoring changes to regulation and official guidance along the entire seafood chain. In this role you will be required to analyse and understand legislative text and develop guidance material to help industry comply with trade related legislation. You will understand the unique characteristics of the seafood industry such as small consignments and high perishability as well as seafood specific regulation.

Key responsibilities:

• Establish effective and constructive relationships with the seafood sector, enforcement agencies and regulators to facilitate a smooth trading environment and swift resolution of any compliance issues as they arise.
• Assist industry understanding and compliance with seafood related legislation.
• Ensure enforcement agencies understand the unique characteristics of the seafood industry, such as direct selling, small consignments and high perishability when implementing regulations.
• Provide insight and guidance to the Seafish regional teams to ensure UK wide coverage of regulatory support.
• Producing guidance material for the seafood sector on changes to regulation that may affect their business.

This is a full-time role and can be based remotely, or in either of our Edinburgh or Grimsby offices. With an attractive benefits package and flexible working environment, this is a fantastic opportunity to join Seafish.
