  • Translate emerging research and supplement trends into actionable product strategies.

Supply Chain & Quality Management

  • Advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D. preferred) in Nutrition Science, Food Science, or related field.
  • Deep understanding of regulatory frameworks governing supplements and health products.
  • Proven ability to integrate scientific rigor with commercial strategy.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills; thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
