Job Description:

Job Description Job Description BUILT ON FLAVOR. FUELED BY PEOPLE. What's it like to work at Kinder's? Well, there's a lot of snacking and geeking out over what we all cooked over the weekend. Beyond that, there's also plenty of hard work. Because we don't just like flavor, we're obsessed with it. With over 100 products sold nationwide, we're now a top-five brand in multiple flavor categories at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods, and more. We're not your typical CPG company. Privately held and founder-led, we like to think of ourselves as a pirate ship in a sea of cruise ships. Our crew is adventurous and fearless. We chart our own course and chase big ideas to make food unforgettable. As we expand globally and approach $1 billion in revenue, we need more smart-and-scrappy, flavor-obsessed people to come aboard. If you're looking for a place where you can see the real impact of your work this is it! Every day, you'll be part of a journey to add flavor to millions of meals and lives. About the Role We're looking for a detail-oriented and highly organized Documentation Specialist to help ensure our products meet regulatory requirements in global markets. You'll play a key role in supporting our partnerships with major retailers like Walmart and Costco Wholesale in Canada, the UK, the EU, Japan, Korea, and Mexico. What You'll Do Make sure our products comply with food safety, labeling, and packaging regulations in various international markets. Keep up with changing regulations and share key updates with internal teams. Prepare and submit necessary paperwork for product registrations, certifications, and import/export approvals. Work closely with teams across Product Development, Marketing, and Supply Chain to ensure compliance from start to finish. Partner with external regulatory agencies, consultants, and testing labs to get approvals. Maintain an organized database of regulatory requirements and documents for each market. Ensure product labels and packaging meet local requirements. Stay informed about international shipping rules, customs procedures, and retailer-specific compliance requirements. Build and maintain strong relationships with regulatory contacts at Costco and other major retailers. What We're Looking For Experience: At least 5 years in compliance, document control, or quality assurance documentation within the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry. Experience in documentation for international markets is a huge plus. Experience in international regulatory affairs is a huge plus. Experience working with Costco Wholesale's international regulatory processes is a big plus. Skills: Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage multiple projects. Strong communication and teamwork skills. Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Education: A Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Chemistry, Regulatory Affairs, Supply Chain, or a related field (preferred). Very Nice to Have: Understanding of food regulations, labeling laws, and compliance requirements in the UK, EU, Japan, Korea, and Mexico. Familiarity with shipping procedures, customs regulations, and import/export compliance. Fluency in Spanish, Japanese, or Korean, is a plus! The expected starting salary range for this role is $100,000- $115,000 per year. We may ultimately pay more or less than the posted range based on the location of the role. The amount a particular employee will earn within the salary range will be based on factors such as relevant education, qualifications, performance and business needs. SEASONED FOR SUCCESS: No two days here are the same. We try to be good team members and good communicators, but we don't live by hierarchy and structure – everyone is a difference maker here. We make a lot of decisions in the face of incomplete information – our team embraces ambiguity and tries to make good decisions fast rather than great decisions slow. We believe our job is to take smart risk, not to eliminate risk. We believe in growing our skills and becoming a better company with more managerial expertise, but we are an entrepreneurial company at heart. We aren't trying to be average – we want to do exceptional things, and we are willing to work hard to achieve them. BENEFITS THAT BRING MORE TO THE TABLE: We offer a range of total rewards that may include paid time off, 401k, bonus / incentive eligibility, equity grants, competitive health benefits, and other family-friendly benefits, including parental leave. Kinder's benefits vary based on eligibility and can be reviewed in more detail during the interview process. OUR RECIPE FOR BALANCE: We believe great culture starts with people. We're a people-first company built on connection, collaboration, and balance. Most of our work happens in the office to spark creativity and community, but we also offer flexibility so team members have the autonomy to work outside the office when needed to support their work-life balance and personal commitments.
