### About the Role
rePurpose Global helps consumer brands meet their Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations for packaging across a fast-growing set of U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions. Canada's EPR landscape spans multiple provincial programs — each with its own Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs), material lists, reporting rules, and deadlines — alongside a national harmonization effort and federal reporting requirements still taking shape, and the pace of change is accelerating. Producers count on us to help them navigate this complexity with confidence, which relies on experts who grasp dense regulatory text and turn it into simple, actionable direction.
As a Compliance & Sustainability Intelligence Manager, you'll own the outward-facing side of that work: tracking regulatory change as it happens, educating customers and prospects, and translating dense statutory and program requirements into guidance producers can act on with confidence. This position carries a Canada-first workload — provincial regulation, the harmonization wave, PRO relationships, and federal reporting. It's a highly visible role — you'll be of the main faces of rePurpose Global's regulatory and compliance expertise to the market.
A defining part of the job is our webinar program, which you'll own end to end: shaping the topic and narrative, building the content, presenting live to audiences of producers, and fielding the technical and regulatory questions that follow. Between webinars, you'll answer the steady stream of customer and prospect questions that come with a shifting regulatory environment, produce written regulatory intelligence and market education, and equip our sales and customer teams with the talking points and materials they need. It's a builder's role, too — much of this regulatory landscape is still taking shape, so you'll create structure where little exists yet, maintain relationships with PROs and other external stakeholders, and feed what you learn back into the product and roadmap alongside our technical, product, and customer success teams.
Monitor provincial programs, PRO program plans and material lists, the harmonization effort, and federal reporting as it takes shape — and distill what's changing into guidance the team and customers can use.
Field customer and prospect questions on EPR obligations, fees, reporting categories, exemptions, and deadlines with empathy and clarity, converting dense rules into plain-language, service-oriented guidance that builds producer confidence and establishes audit-ready documentation.
Plan the calendar and topics, build the content and narrative, host live sessions for producer audiences, and lead the follow-up Q&A — treating webinars as a core, recurring pillar of our market education and audience growth.
Write regulatory briefs, policy gap assessments, regulatory updates, blog posts, FAQs, explainers, and-pagers, and build the talking points and materials that equip the sales, marketing, and customer success teams to speak accurately and authoritatively about EPR.
Read where regulation and the market are heading, and translate it into foresight the team can plan around.
Represent rePurpose Global in public-facing settings — producer education, industry engagement, and the consultations, working sessions, and coalition meetings that make up regulatory listening — and stay close to how regulators, PROs, and producers are interpreting the rules.
Flag regulatory changes that affect packaging classification, fees, or reporting so they can be reflected in our compliance software and product roadmap, and bring recurring customer questions back as input that shapes the platform experience.
A background in EPR, packaging or environmental policy, sustainability, regulatory affairs, or a related field — built in industry, at a PRO or consultancy, or through study in environmental science, public policy, law, or packaging.
Experience in plastics and packaging policy, circular economy, waste management, or Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), with a working command of how these programs actually operate — governance, financing, PRO structures, and enforcement.
Ability to independently read, interpret, and track statutory and program text across multiple jurisdictions, and to hold the differences between them accurately rather than generalizing, with the range to run scenario modeling that shows producers how differing rules affect their portfolios.
Genuine comfort speaking publicly and hosting webinars and live Q&A, plus strong writing for a non-expert audience — you can make a complex rule feel simple without losing what matters.
Comfort creating programs, content, and structure in areas that are new or still taking shape, without waiting for a template to exist.
Confidence engaging producers, prospects, PROs, regulators, and industry groups, and the judgment both to know how much detail each audience needs and to manage those relationships over time.
The ability to stay organized and credible in a fast-moving regulatory environment where guidance is often incomplete, and deadlines compress.
A track record of owning a domain end-to-end with minimal oversight in a remote, cross-functional team.
These are a plus, not a requirement — we welcome strong candidates who bring the core profile above.
Familiarity with provincial EPR programs, the harmonization effort, PROs, and the federal reporting landscape (including the Federal Plastics Registry).
Experience with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) or adjacent environmental and packaging regulation.
Direct exposure to eco-modulation fee models, design-for-recyclability (D4R) guidelines, or rulemaking comment periods.
A history of creating content or educational programming for a technical or regulatory audience.
An international background, or a second language in French or another European language.
Time in-house at a brand or producer, or participation in advisory committees, working groups, or industry coalitions.
