Skills and Qualifications:

• Education: Degree (BSc or higher preferred) in Food Science, Nutrition, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Experience: Proven track record in supplement formulation and successfully bringing products to the market, specifically within the natural or organic sector.
• Mindset: Highly creative and detail-oriented, comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, and a passion for redefining the “clean” supplement market.

Desirable:

• Experience managing relationships with UK and US regulatory consultants and testing labs.
• Passion for wellness, sustainability, and creating meaningful, science-led products.
