The posting

Vital Lyfe is looking for a Certification & Trade Compliance Supervisor to own the path that gets our products legally and efficiently into markets around the world.

About Vital Lyfe

Vital Lyfe is a tech company redefining water autonomy through innovation, creating a new category of personal water making technology built to scale where infrastructure can’t.

What You'll Do

This person will sit at the intersection of engineering, growth, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance. You’ll own the certification and trade requirements for each country we enter, build and manage the schedules required to get there, and help the company decide where we should launch next based on the regulatory and operational lift.

This is a hands-on role. We’re looking for someone who can take a country like Japan, Australia, or the UAE and answer: What certifications and approvals do we need? What import/export requirements apply? How long will it take? What will it cost? And what needs to happen to get product on the ground?

What you’ll own

  • Build and maintain a country-by-country certification and regulatory requirements matrix for Vital Lyfe products.
  • Own certification schedules and provide clear timelines for when products can legally enter and be sold in each market.
  • Manage product certification programs with external bodies and labs, including NSF, Nemko, and relevant government and military organizations.
  • Coordinate with Engineering to identify certification requirements, required testing, documentation, product changes, and dependencies.
  • Own trade compliance planning, including import/export requirements, product classifications, documentation, country-of-origin requirements, customs considerations, and other market-entry requirements.
  • Partner with Growth to evaluate new markets and recommend country rollout priorities based on certification complexity, timeline, cost, and commercial opportunity.
  • Identify regulatory and certification risks early and drive them to resolution before they impact launches.
  • Build and maintain the company's certification records, reports, approvals, and supporting documentation.
  • Help establish and maintain Vital Lyfe's quality management system and prepare for ISO 9001 certification.
  • Coordinate internal ISO audits, external certification audits, corrective actions, and ongoing surveillance audits.
  • Create dashboards and schedules that give leadership a clear view of certification status and market-entry readiness across countries.
  • Become the internal source of truth for the question: “What does it take to sell this product in this country?”

Why Join Vital Lyfe?

  • Work on high impact problems with global relevance
  • Help scale breakthrough technology in water security and climate resilience
  • Early ownership in a high growth, engineering led startup
  • Join a tight knit, mission driven team in a fast paced environment
  • Build long term career equity as we grow

Location Requirement: Ability to work 100% onsite in Torrance, CA (remote or hybrid work will not be considered)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
