The purpose of the Regulatory-Driven Standards Programme is to ensure that regulatory requirements are effectively assessed, prioritised, coordinated and translated into GS1 standards and related deliverables that meet regulatory intent while serving the needs of GS1 Member Organisations and industry. As regulatory requirements continue to increase in both volume and complexity, this role provides the programme coordination and governance needed to ensure a consistent, transparent and cross-functional approach to standards development across GS1.
The Programme Lead, Regulatory-Driven Standards is responsible for leading the end-to-end coordination of the programme, acting as the central point of integration across Public Policy, Standards Delivery, Community Engagement, Architecture and Project Delivery. Working in a highly matrixed environment, the role ensures that regulatory initiatives are appropriately assessed, prioritised, planned, governed and delivered through a consistent programme management approach.
Rather than managing functional teams directly, the Programme Lead works collaboratively with subject matter experts and senior leaders across the organisation to coordinate programme activities, facilitate cross-functional planning, manage interdependencies, monitor programme health, risks, dependencies and resource constraints, and provide clear programme visibility to support informed decision-making.
The role also owns the end-to-end intake and prioritisation pipeline, ensuring regulatory requirements are evaluated transparently and progressed efficiently from initial assessment through to standards development and implementation. Success in this role requires exceptional programme management, stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, enabling diverse teams to work together effectively while maintaining alignment with GS1's strategic priorities and evolving regulatory landscape.
