Associate Director, Product Safety & Compliance

The Opportunity Caraway Home is looking for an experienced Associate Director, Product Safety & Compliance to build our product compliance function from the ground up and own what we call the Caraway Promise, a testing-obsessed, transparency-first approach to product safety that sets the bar for the industry.

The Caraway Promise exists because we believe in transparency, not because the industry requires transparency.

This is a foundational role, the first dedicated compliance hire at Caraway, responsible for building the frameworks, lab relationships, testing strategy, supply chain diligence, claims substantiation, and regulatory sequencing across a diverse and growing product portfolio.

You will own the full compliance lifecycle across Caraway's product categories (cookware, bakeware, electrical items, food contact materials, textiles, and packaging), always meeting or exceeding the most stringent applicable global standard to establish industry-leading Caraway protocols and procedures.

You will be US-based, work closely with Asia-based suppliers and third-party labs (particularly in China), and build the internal systems and processes that let Caraway scale compliantly, credibly, and with confidence.

Additionally, an important responsibility of this role is disseminating key information, labels, and results to support marketing initiatives.

You need to be a strong communicator, working collaboratively with cross functional teams, to broadcast and showcase the diligence Caraway is taking across its entire product portfolio in regards to compliance, being able to assist with crafting accurate, transparent, educational and understandable language and messaging that resonates with our consumer.

This position reports to our Director, Product Development.
