Cefic is looking for a dynamic professional to drive and coordinate its work on chemical hazard classification and labelling, with a strong interface to ECHA scientific committees and competent authorities.

As Product Stewardship Manager, you will lead Cefic’s work on chemical hazard classification at the interface of science, regulation and industry.

Ability to translate complex science into clear, practical messages for industry audiences and decision makers. Strong project management

skills:
