ppFrontera Ag is an agricultural biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercialising novel biological solutions for growers worldwide. Our portfolio — spanning biostimulants, inoculants, hybrid formulations, and biopesticides — is built on a single differentiating principle: Biologicals Built to Integrate. Products designed to work with existing seed treatment systems, not replace them, and to deliver performance that is visible in the field. /p pFounded in 2024 and growing fast across EMEA and the Americas, we are early‑stage by design. We move quickly, build for the long term, and invest in the people who join us. Our lead product, RESILIENCE n9, has achieved a 95% win rate across 1,500+ harvested plots in five European countries — and this is only the beginning. /p h3The Opportunity /h3 pThis is a role for a regulatory professional who wants to build something that matters. As Regulatory Affairs Manager at Frontera, you will establish a global registration portfolio spanning established crop protection actives and next‑generation biostimulant and inoculant formulations — and translate that expertise into real commercial advantage. /p pReporting to C‑level leadership, you connect Frontera's product ambitions to regulatory reality across EMEA, North America, and South America. The portfolio is being built, the processes are being designed, and the function is yours to shape. /p ul liThe right person has deep, hands‑on knowledge of registration pathways across multiple markets — and the commercial instinct to know which ones to prioritise. /li /ul h3What You Will Do /h3 h3Crop Protection Registrations /h3 ul liOwn the registration strategy for Frontera's crop protection portfolio — established active substances spanning fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides across EMEA and the Americas. /li liManage the full registration lifecycle — dossier strategy and preparation through submission, authority interactions, post‑approval maintenance, and renewal. /li liNavigate country‑level and regional frameworks with confidence — EU 1107/2009, zonal procedures, Mutual Recognition, national routes, and equivalents in the Americas (EPA, USDA, COFEPRIS, ANVISA, SENASA). /li liIdentify the most efficient pathway for each product and market, balancing timeline, cost, and commercial priority — and act when the landscape shifts. /li /ul h3Biostimulants Biological Inputs /h3 ul liLead dossier preparation and submission for biostimulant formulations and microbial inoculants, establishing compliant pathways in markets where frameworks are still evolving. /li liMonitor regulatory developments for biologicals across key markets and position Frontera ahead of change. /li /ul h3Regulatory Operations /h3 ul liBuild and manage a registration pipeline prioritised against commercial opportunity — the right products, the right markets, the right time. /li liDesign and implement the tools, workflows, and documentation standards for a scalable regulatory function. /li liIdentify, brief, and manage external regulatory consultants where additional capacity or local expertise is needed — maintaining quality, pace, and cost discipline. /li liRepresent Frontera in interactions with regulatory authorities, building credibility and constructive relationships over time. /li /ul h3Client Partner Engagement /h3 ul liAct as Frontera's regulatory face with commercial partners, distributors, and key customers — making registration status, timelines, and requirements clear and actionable. /li liParticipate in commercial conversations with partners and customers, providing the regulatory context that builds confidence in Frontera's pipeline. /li liAlign registration timelines with go‑to‑market plans — surfacing constraints early and finding routes around them. /li liEvaluate new market entries and acquisition opportunities through a regulatory lens, with substantive input to Frontera's growth strategy. /li liAssess the regulatory feasibility, timeline, and cost of new actives or formulations across target markets. /li /ul h3What You Bring /h3 pA regulatory professional with a track record of getting products over the line — across borders, regulatory bodies, and a portfolio spanning the technically complex to the commercially sensitive. You have done this in real organisations, with real deadlines, and you know that the best regulatory professionals are also trusted commercial partners. /p h3Experience Expertise /h3 ul liHands‑on success registering crop protection products based on established active substances across multiple EMEA jurisdictions and/or the Americas — dossiers, authorities, and timelines from direct experience. /li liSolid working knowledge of EU 1107/2009, zonal and Mutual Recognition procedures, and national authorisation routes — plus grounding in equivalent bodies in the Americas. /li liExperience navigating regulatory pathways for biostimulants and/or microbial inoculants, with a practical grasp of how frameworks are evolving. /li liExperience in an early‑stage or scale‑up environment, where establishing sound process is as important as executing against it. /li liRelevant scientific education in chemistry, biology, agronomy, toxicology, or a related discipline. /li /ul h3Ways of Working /h3 ul liCommercial acumen beyond compliance: timing, margin, and market opportunity matter as much as dossier completeness. /li liUsing models for active ingredient and inert vetting and defining regulatory pathways. /li liStrong client instincts: you build trust by making complexity legible and commitments reliable. /li liA builder's disposition: energised by creating structure in ambiguity, systematically rather than reactively. /li liConfident stakeholder presence, equally comfortable in a commercial conversation with a distribution partner and a technical negotiation with a regulatory authority. /li liStrong communication skills in English; proficiency in Spanish, Portuguese, or other languages relevant to Frontera's markets is a significant asset. /li liHigh personal accountability: you own outcomes, not activities. /li /ul h3What We Offer /h3 ul liDirect partnership with C‑level leadership — your work shapes Frontera's strategy and product portfolio, not just the compliance calendar. /li liThe chance to build a regulatory function from the ground up — real ownership, full mandate, C‑level backing. /li liGlobally flexible, remote‑first working — we hire for capability, not proximity. /li liA portfolio that spans both the established (crop protection actives) and the frontier (biostimulants, inoculants) — broad scope, genuine variety. /li liCompetitive compensation reflecting the seniority, scope, and responsibility of the role. /li /ul h3How to Apply /h3 pWe would like to hear from you. Please send a CV and a short note to on why this role is the right next step for you. We review applications on a rolling basis and will be in touch promptly. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
