Are you a detail-oriented and driven toxicologist with experience in risk assessments for consumer products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, or chemicals?  Do you want to work at a market-leading company where your knowledge and expertise allow you to contribute to a Smoke-Free Future ? Then the role of Regulatory Toxicologist might be suitable for you! 

Swedish Match is dedicated to the improvement of public health by offering attractive alternatives to cigarettes. Some of our well-known brands are ZYN (nicotine pouches) and General (Snus).
The company became part of Philip Morris International in 2023, and its products are now the cornerstone of the global and newly formed Category for Oral Smoke-free Products.

The team of Product Safety and Toxicology, a part of the PMI Life Sciences Stockholm-HUB, is now looking for a new colleague to support our global portfolio.  

About the role 

As a Regulatory Toxicologist, you will contribute with toxicological knowledge from a regulatory perspective. The role includes, but is not restricted to:

• Supporting product development and deployment by conducting toxicological risk assessment of ingredients, flavors and Swedish Match products in accordance with legislations and internal policies.
• Assisting in the preparation and compilation of toxicology summaries for regulatory submissions.
• Contributing enhancing risk assessment methodologies by proactively monitoring legislation globally within toxicology, particularly in the areas of tobacco, chemicals, food, and flavors while staying updated on relevant developments and research.

You will work both independently and in collaboration with others. The role involves numerous points of contact in a cross-functional setting, both internal and some external. 

Your Profile 

We are looking for a highly motivated and solution-oriented specialist, able to manage projects independently but also able to work in a team to share knowledge and learnings. You should have a Master’s degree in Toxicology, Life Science or related scientific area and a minimum of 3 years relevant toxicological experience from industry, authority or academia. You have experience of quantitative risk assessments/toxicological risk assessments and a good attention to detail with a keen problem-solving attitude to enable the delivery of thorough and robust work.

Strong communication skills both written and orally (English and preferably Swedish) are essential for effectively conveying toxicological data, issues and conclusions to scientific and non-scientific colleagues and stakeholders.

We believe that you are proactive, social, and have a pragmatic work approach. You enjoy working as a specialist with multiple stakeholders and points of contact. To be successful in this role you have good attention to details with a keen problem-solving mindset. 

As part of our recruitment work, our final candidates will undergo a background check, this to increase awareness of our employees.
