Your key responsibilities will be:

• Lead and deliver complex toxicology, product safety and regulatory projects for UK and international clients, managing multidisciplinary teams to ensure technical quality, financial performance and client satisfaction.
• Provide strategic scientific and regulatory advice across chemicals, consumer products, food/feed ingredients and packaging, cosmetics and biocides.
• Design, manage and evaluate toxicological programmes and assessments (study review, WoE, read across, NAMs, QSAR, risk assessments) and prepare/peer review technical reports, regulatory submissions.
• Support clients with practical regulatory compliance and product safety strategies and identify opportunities to grow Ramboll’s services in existing and new markets.
• Lead business development and client engagement activities (proposals, scoping, conferences), represent Ramboll externally, and keep up to date with scientific and regulatory developments.
• Develop consultants within the Health Sciences team.

Be proactive, entrepreneurial and client focused, with exceptional attention to detail and strong project management and organisational skills. Work independently while developing others, identify and capture new opportunities, win work and consistently deliver high quality outcomes.
