Walker Tape®

Technical Product Manager

• Drive product development: translate briefs into technical plans; evaluate formulation options, performance trade-offs, sensory, stability, and cost.
• Source and manage external labs and contract manufacturers: qualify partners, write tight briefs, direct iterations, and protect the formula through scale-up.
• Source raw materials and suppliers: evaluate ingredients, qualify suppliers, review specs and CoAs, maintain vendor relationships.
• Run light hands-on bench work as needed: sample prep, basic compatibility checks, and simple in-house testing.
• Manage testing: source and brief labs for stability, microbial, preservative efficacy (PET), HRIPT, safety, and analytical work; set protocols, review results, chase deviations.
• Own regulatory and compliance: MoCRA registration and product listings, FDA cosmetic and applicable OTC requirements, INCI labeling, Drug Facts panels, claim substantiation, and EU 1223/2009 where applicable.
• Maintain the technical record: product specs, raw material specs, stability data, batch records, CoAs, and technical transfer packages, kept current and audit-ready.
• Keep the regulatory calendar: registrations, renewals, testing intervals, and reporting deadlines so nothing lapses and nothing is late.
• Partner with the Product Manager: own chemistry, lab work, and regulatory detail so PM can focus on strategy, branding, and launch execution.
• Translate for non-technical partners: give Marketing, Operations, and Sales clear, actionable answers on chemistry, ingredients, claims, and regulatory questions.
• Drive details to completion: the missing tolerance, the unsigned CoA, the unclear warning statement; you find it and close it.
