Review experimental formulas, use instructions, and consumer placements to prevent environmental harm and improve design.
Author technical assessments, study summaries, and submission‑ready rationales and dossiers that withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Advise cross‑functional teams on risk mitigations, labeling, and trade‑off decisions that protect water, wildlife, and people.
Represent the company with trade associations, consortia, and the broader scientific community; help shape test guidelines, data acceptance, and risk policy via working groups, public comments, and conference presentations.
Monitor emerging science and regulations; translate impacts into updated testing plans, models, and risk recommendations.
