Regulatory Affairs (Maternity Cover)

Hello. We’re Blood.   Our purpose is to revolutionize periods.   Who are we? Blood is a challenger brand in the period care space. We exist to challenge taboos, push boundaries, and help people with periods to bleed unapologetically. Our focus on deeply understanding our users drives our innovation in creating products that are both high performing, and better for their bodies and skin. Blood is the creator of the world’s first Sanitary Pad made from Corn, and is the parent brand of MenstruHeat (menstrual cramp relief). We’re scaling fast across Southeast Asia with our core markets in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and our newest market, Thailand. Selling online and across more than 9,000 retail stores - making more than 12 million periods better so far. Today was good. Tomorrow will bleed better. Who we’re looking for:

This is a hands-on, 4-6 months part time maternity cover role. You’ll step into live registrations, in-flight applications, ongoing import and distribution compliance, and keep everything moving without disruption. You must be able to walk in with minimal ramp-up, the handover window is roughly 1–2 weeks. You must be based in Jabodetabek, necessary for authority visits, submissions and shipment coordination.

We're looking for someone with a strong desire to make a real impact. You will have a key role and exposure in delivering a compliant Blood business to help extend our reach to our next million users as a period care challenger brand.

Working closely with internal teams and external bodies, you will plan, drive and implement regulatory affairs strategies to comply with local government requirements and company standards in the Indonesian market.

What you will do:

Act as Blood’s Technical Responsible Person (TRP) in Indonesia and the day-to-day regulatory point of contact for our medical-device portfolio during the cover period

Manage new product registration (AKL) submissions with Kemenkes (MOH) — including any applications in progress at handover

Prepare and file change notifications for existing product registrations with Kemenkes

Handle end-to-end import regulatory documentation to keep commercial shipments clearing smoothly, including Import Report, LHVIU, PERTEK, and PI (Persetujuan Impor)

Maintain CDAKB compliance across the distribution operation, and own QMS setup/compliance and internal/external audits (e.g. ISO 13485, CE, GDPMD, CDAKB)

Lead the IDAK / CDAKB / regulatory workstream for the 3PL: ensure our 3PL warehouse is fully IDAK/CDAKB compliant — coordinating the required CDAKB inspection/certification, and updating IDAK and registration records so distribution authorization stays unbroken.

Liaise with supply chain to ensure product-label compliance on commercial shipments

Work with Kemenkes and other authorities, certification bodies and auditors, and coordinate internally with Operations, Supply Chain, Production, R&D and QA to resolve regulatory queries

Stay informed on changes in regulatory laws and work with internal stakeholders to mitigate business impact

Monitor registration status, renewals, and any regulatory deadlines falling within the cover period, and flag risks early

Maintain regulatory records and documentation so the returning specialist can pick up seamlessly

Handle any other regulatory-related matters as required by the company and management

Prepared and submitted change notifications to Kemenkes

Handled import regulatory documentation: Import Report, LHVIU, PERTEK, PI

Worked within CDAKB and IDAK frameworks — specifically handling IDAK/facility changes (e.g. adding or changing a warehouse, onboarding a 3PL, or a CDAKB premises inspection), not just steady-state compliance

Able to operate fully independently with minimal supervision and a short handover
