- Prior experience supporting FDA, CFSAN, or another federal regulatory body in a scientific advisory capacity.
- Experience with cosmetic facility inspections, GMP audits, or quality systems implementation in a cosmetics manufacturing setting.
- Familiarity with adverse event databases (e.g., CAERS) and product listing systems.
