Nutrition Labeling information

What is a nutrition labeling job?

A Nutrition Labeling job involves reviewing and ensuring that food packaging complies with regulatory requirements for nutrition facts, ingredient lists, and allergen declarations. Professionals in this field analyze food product compositions, verify accuracy in nutrient labeling, and ensure adherence to government guidelines such as FDA or USDA regulations. They may work in food manufacturing, quality assurance, or regulatory affairs to help maintain transparency and consumer trust.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in nutrition labeling?

To excel in Nutrition Labeling, you need expertise in nutrition science, regulatory compliance (such as FDA or USDA guidelines), and attention to detail, often supported by a degree in nutrition or food science. Familiarity with nutrient analysis software, database management, and labeling regulations is essential, and certifications like Registered Dietitian (RD) or Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) can be advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, collaboration, and clear communication help you work effectively with product development, regulatory, and marketing teams. These skills ensure the creation of accurate, compliant, and consumer-friendly nutrition labels that uphold company reputation and regulatory standards.

They routinely work with cross-functional teams, translating technical nutrition data into clear, accurate, and consumer-friendly labels while coordinating feedback from regulatory, quality assurance, and marketing departments. The role requires careful attention to prevent costly errors, strong organizational skills to manage multiple projects, and adaptability to shifting product portfolios.

Key responsibilities

  • Lead formulation, testing, and iteration of assigned product lines from concept through pilot, scale-up, and post-launch.

  • Manage and develop a small team of Food Scientists, setting priorities, reviewing experimental design, and coaching on technical rigor.

  • Own the technical relationship with co-manufacturers during scale-up and ongoing production, including trial planning and troubleshooting.

Job description

The Company:

Medici Brands is the parent company of David, Epogee, HallPass and several emerging brands launching in the near future. Medici Brands is led by CEO Peter Rahal, Co-founder and former CEO of RXBAR, and is focused on building brands that break the tradeoffs between taste and nutrition that have classically existed.

Role Overview:

Reporting to the Director of R&D, we are looking for a Senior Manager, R&D to lead and be responsible for a portfolio of SKUs end-to-end - from concept through pilot, scale-up, and post-launch iteration - while managing a small bench team of Food Scientists.

This is a working-manager role. You'll still be hands-on at the bench for the hardest formulation problems, and you'll be responsible for prioritization, mentorship, and cross-functional delivery across your product line.

Formulation & Technical Ownership

  • Lead formulation, testing, and iteration across an assigned product line, applying deep working knowledge of proteins, high-intensity and rare sweeteners, fibers, binding systems, and shelf-life kinetics.
  • Diagnose and resolve finished-product failures - texture drift, binding failure, flavor instability, processing defects - with speed and technical precision.
  • Own the technical relationship with co-manufacturers during scale-up and ongoing production, including trial planning and troubleshooting on the plant floor.

Team Leadership

  • Manage and develop 2-3 Food Scientists / Senior Food Scientists - setting priorities, reviewing experimental design, and coaching on technical rigor.
  • Build project ownership models so each scientist can run a workstream independently while staying aligned to portfolio priorities.
  • Instill a culture of creativity and experimentation on the team - carving out space for scientists to explore unconventional ingredient pairings and formats, and championing bold ideas even when they carry technical risk.

Innovation Pipeline

  • Stay current on ingredient technologies and processing methods relevant to high-protein systems - precision fermentation proteins, novel sweeteners, encapsulation - and bring forward recommendations for the innovation roadmap.
  • Lead strategic research initiatives that look 12-24 months ahead of the current portfolio, scoping exploratory workstreams around emerging ingredient technologies and translating early-stage findings into actionable innovation bets.
  • Define and prioritize the R&D research agenda in partnership with the R&D leadership team, balancing near-term product fixes against longer-horizon platform-building work.
  • Build and maintain relationships with ingredient suppliers, co-manufacturers, and academic/industry contacts to keep the team plugged into where science is heading, not just where it's been.

Cross-Functional & Regulatory

  • Partner with Regulatory/QA to ensure ingredient selection, labeling, and claims are compliant with FDA nutrition labeling requirements and emerging sweetener/fat-replacer guidance.
  • Work with Supply Chain and Procurement on ingredient sourcing, cost targets, and supplier qualification.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of experience in food science, R&D, or product development within food or CPG, including 4+ years directly managing scientists.
  • Deep hands-on formulation experience in high-protein systems (bars, dairy/frozen, or confection).
  • Track record taking products from bench through commercial scale with a co-manufacturer.
  • Comfort operating with startup pace and ambiguity - this is not a role for someone who needs a mature, fully built-out process.

Benefits

  • Full-time, in-person role
  • Travel expectations up to 25% (manufacturing, suppliers, etc.) 
  • Salary: $170,000 - $200,000 per year, inclusive of cash bonus based on attainment of company targets
  • Company equity opportunity
  • 100% covered Health, Vision, Dental Insurance
  • 401(k) with 4% match
  • Additional perks, such as covered gym expenses
  • Substantial and required PTO
