The Regulatory Operations Specialist (ROS) is a crucial member of several regulatory teams, each of which are comprised of a Regulatory Leader and/or other ROS(s)with primary responsibilities  to assemble and deliver high quality regulatory documents (labels, confidential statements of formula) and submission packages (letters, forms, data, other documentation) on a diverse array of submission types for federal and state regulatory submissions for Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and non-FIFRA products. Strong Communication skills are required as the position requires a high level of interaction with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State regulatory personnel as well as cross-functional interactions within the company including commercial, supply chain, and other R&D functions. The role requires a key focus on organization, attention to detail, accuracy in data entry, and proofreading to ensure high-quality and timely regulatory actions aligned to registration strategies.  Each regulatory team maintains responsibilities for multiple products, so the ability to multi-task, manage, and adapt to shifting priorities and timelines are additional core job expectations. The ROS must work effectively on a high-level both internally and externally, with large, diverse networks, such as the EPA, State agencies and Corteva partners (e.g., Regulatory Sciences, various R&D functions, Commercial, Supply Chain, and Global Regulatory Leaders). ROS also serves as the subject matter expert or “Focal Point” for a variety of internal and external technical capabilities to support Federal and State needs. Creation of high-quality regulatory documents is a critical element of this role, and the ROS may be involved in various stages of this process including: The development, amendment and maintenance process for product labels and labeling in the U.S. that meet requirements of federal and state regulatory agencies while balancing the strategies and priorities of Corteva’s businesses. This includes coordinating and leading labeling projects with key stakeholders including US regulatory leaders, marketing leaders, and biologists to draft, edit, and finalize regulatory text for labels used for registration and packaging under FIFRA Section 3, as well as labeling under Section 18, Section 24(c), and Section 2(ee). Confidential statements of formula (CSFs) are required by the US EPA for all approved technical sources and registered formulated products.  The ROS will oversee the draft CSF and MOC process and coordinate with key stakeholders including supply chain and manufacturing partners, US regulatory leaders, product chemistry manager, and formulation chemists to create and maintain CSFs according to current federal guidance to meet compliance requirements and is responsible for the regulatory submission process including preparing documents for the submission and tracking progress. Additional responsibilities include: Work, both independently and as a contributing member of multiple project teams, across internal businesses and functions (e.g., R&D, marketing, supply chain) to coordinate and prioritize numerous activities occurring simultaneously and adapt to shifting priorities and deadlines.  Provide oversight of the entire submission process from regulatory document creation, submission preparation, and execution. Develop and direct the submission processes, with small teams across portfolio, to drive label
