Function · Regulatory affairs

Regulatory affairs recruitment for agriculture.

Global heads, regulatory leads, scientists and registration specialists for crop protection, biologicals, seed and crop nutrition companies.

The short answer

Chaseman Global appoints regulatory leaders for agriculture worldwide, from global heads of regulatory science and asset management to regulatory leads, scientists and registration specialists. Live mandates include a Global Head of Regulatory Science and Asset Management and a Regulatory Lead for North America.

Registrations decide revenue. A delayed dossier or a lost re-registration takes products off the market and the people who prevent that are among the scarcest hires in agriculture. Many of the experienced professionals who built today's portfolios are approaching retirement and the next generation has been drawn toward the largest originators.

Advertising a regulatory role produces volume, not fit. The credible candidates are known, employed and rarely looking. We map every originator, post-patent manufacturer, biologicals company and regulatory consultancy relevant to your portfolio, then approach named individuals confidentially.

Roles we place

  • Global Head of Regulatory Affairs
  • Regulatory Leads and Directors
  • Asset and Portfolio Management
  • Product Stewardship
  • Regulatory Scientists and Study Directors
  • Registration Specialists and Managers
The hiring challenge

What makes this market hard to hire in and how we solve it.

A shrinking pool

Experienced regulatory professionals are retiring faster than they are being replaced and competition for them is rising.

How we solve it. We know who holds the expertise today, including the people who are not looking.

Agency-specific experience

Experience with the EPA, EU authorities and other agencies is not interchangeable.

How we solve it. We map candidates by the regulatory systems your portfolio depends on.

New product pathways

Biologicals and new technologies bring new data requirements that few people have navigated.

How we solve it. We track the people who have and approach them by name.

Every search follows our ten-step retained process: a target universe you approve, confidential named approaches, assessed candidates and a target of a shortlist within 21 working days, backed by our 12-month written guarantee.
