Testing Manager – Quality & Regulatory Compliance (all genders)

Your role

You will act as the guardian of Sunday Natural’s product purity, ensuring that all food supplements meet not only EU regulatory requirements but also our internal True Clean Label (TCL) standards, which go far beyond legal thresholds. You act as the final quality gatekeeper and work closely with accredited laboratories to ensure ultra-low contaminant levels across raw materials and finished products.

• You will manage and enforce internal TCL contaminant thresholds for heavy metals, pesticides, and residues – ensuring that all analytical results are rigorously audited against our specifications
• You will collaborate closely with accredited laboratories to verify that analytical methods and equipment meet the required limits of quantitation (LOQs) necessary to detect trace-level impurities at TCL standards
• As the final gatekeeper for raw material and product approval, you will make critical decisions e.g. rejecting batches that are legally compliant under EU law but fail to meet our internal purity expectations
• You will coordinate all analytical testing in line with the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and other agreed methodologies, while maintaining a comprehensive EU testing calendar covering areas such as Ethylene Oxide
• You will oversee laboratory performance and partnerships, selecting and auditing ISO/IEC 17025–accredited labs capable of high-sensitivity clean-label analysis, and coordinating secure sampling and logistics

Your profile

• Degree in Analytical Chemistry, Food Science, Toxicology, or similar and minimum 3 years experience working with analytical laboratories
• Strong knowledge of HPLC, GC-MS, ICP-MS / ICP-OES data interpretation
• Solid understanding of EU Food Law, including Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 and the Food Supplements Directive 2002/46/EC – confidence navigating regulatory and internal quality requirements simultaneously
• You are detail-oriented, analytical, and uncompromising when it comes to quality, with a true zero-tolerance mindset in accordance with our true clean label
• You communicate confidently in English (minimum B2 level) and are comfortable working cross-functionally
