About Carrot:
Carrot Fertility is the leading global fertility benefits provider for employers built to make fertility care and family-forming affordable and accessible for everyone who wants or needs it. Companies use Carrot to customize a fertility benefit that provides employees financial, medical, and emotional support as they pursue parenthood, reducing healthcare costs and resulting in better clinical outcomes.
The Role:
Carrot is seeking a Global Regulatory Operations Specialist to join the Global Regulatory Operations team, a part of Carrot’s Global Solutions department.

The Global Regulatory Operations team researches and implements regulatory-related operating and project needs. This enables our customers, global multinational companies, and their employees to effectively navigate the local rules and regulations related to fertility and family forming. This includes but is not limited to compliance and taxability, navigating cross-border reproductive care, and the legal parentage implications of individual members’ fertility and family-forming journeys. Whether a member pursues IVF in Sweden, a gestational carrier journey in Canada, or egg freezing through cross-border reproductive care from China to the U.S., Global Regulatory Operations powers Carrot’s operational infrastructure to create a positive employer and employee experience.
As part of the Global Solutions department at Carrot, you will work closely with Global Solutions’ regional teams, as well as with other departments at Carrot. You will contribute to:

- International contracting - Support Global Solutions’ regional teams as they partner with international providers to enable our members to access best-in-class fertility, adoption, and gestational carrier services around the world.
- Maintaining regulatory understanding - Work with regional teams to organize complex and constantly changing information related to the legal and regulatory aspects of family forming around the world.
If you are excited about researching and evaluating complex legal issues related to fertility care, family-building services, and parentage, are sensitive to and aware of international complexities, are a strong communicator with internal teams and external stakeholders, and have a desire to assist individuals and couples as they bring children into their family, this may be the position for you.
