Thuma is seeking an experienced Associate Director of Product Compliance to join our San Francisco Bay Area-based team, responsible for ensuring that Thuma products meet performance, quality, safety, and regulatory compliance standards across global markets. This role will validate material and product performance, define quality and durability expectations, manage third-party testing strategies, and support risk-based decision-making as Thuma expands into new product categories, materials, and constructions. The ideal candidate brings a strong technical foundation, sound judgment, and deep familiarity with home furnishings regulations across key markets, including the U.S. and Canada, and will act as a trusted partner to Product, Design, Sourcing, Legal, and Operations - able to clearly communicate complex topics, outline risks and tradeoffs, and guide teams toward informed, practical decisions while supporting training and alignment across internal and external partners. The Associate Director of Product Compliance will report to the Head of Global Sourcing and Product Development, and work in close partnership with internal Legal, Sourcing and Product teams, external Legal counsel, 3rd party labs, vendors and suppliers, government agencies and relevant industry groups. 
 
Thuma’s Headquarters is based in the historic Presidio neighborhood of San Francisco. The role involves three days in the office each week and occasional additional days as needed.
