We're a growing wellness and consumer-products company building our own line of dietary supplements. We're looking for a hands-on Formulation Scientist who can take a product from concept to a stable, manufacturable, compliant formula across three formats: compressed and chewable tablets, powdered drink mixes and stick packs, and multi-ingredient blends. You'll own the science behind what we ship — designing formulas, sourcing and qualifying raw materials, running bench and pilot trials, dialing in flowability, compression, taste, and shelf stability, and preparing each formula for handoff to manufacturing. This is a builder's role for someone who likes the bench and wants real ownership over the products that go to market. What You'll Do Develop and optimize formulations for compressed tablets, chewables, powdered blends, drink mixes, and capsule fills Translate product concepts into precise, scalable formulas with defined actives, excipients, overages, and dosing Run bench- and pilot-scale trials; troubleshoot compression, hardness, friability, disintegration, capping, and sticking Solve powder-handling problems: flowability, bulk and tapped density, particle size, segregation, blend uniformity, moisture and hygroscopicity, caking Formulate excipient systems — binders, disintegrants, lubricants, glidants, fillers, anti-caking agents, coatings Develop flavor systems, sweetener blends, and taste-masking approaches for powders and chewables Source and evaluate raw materials; qualify suppliers and work with contract manufacturers (CMOs) on scale-up Run and interpret stability testing — potency retention, moisture, dissolution, appearance — and set shelf life Write and maintain formula documentation, specifications, master batch records, and technical transfer packages Ensure formulations and labels meet FDA dietary supplement regulations, 21 CFR Part 111 cGMP, and supplement facts panel requirements Support scale-up from bench to full production and troubleshoot issues on the manufacturing floor Track ingredient, delivery-format, and market trends to keep the pipeline competitive What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Food Science, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Science, Nutrition, or a related field — or equivalent hands-on formulation experience 2+ years formulating dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, or comparable powdered/solid-dose consumer products Working knowledge of tablet compression and powder blending; comfortable diagnosing why a batch won't compress or won't flow Strong grasp of ingredient functionality, actives, excipients, and overage calculations Familiarity with 21 CFR Part 111 c

GMP, FDA

dietary supplement rules, and supplement labeling requirements Rigorous documentation habits and the ability to run several products in parallel Detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable in a small, fast-moving team Nice to Have Experience with high-potency or difficult actives, botanical extracts, or functional ingredients Stick-pack, sachet, or single-serve drink-mix development experience Sensory and taste-masking experience with bitter or off-flavor actives Direct experience coordinating with contract manufacturers on tech transfer and scale-up Familiarity with analytical testing methods (HPLC, dissolution, moisture analysis) and reading third-party COAs Why Join Us Real ownership — your formulas become products people actually buy Room to build across a full product line, not one narrow SKU Small, fast-moving team where your work ships quickly
