  • Partner with Production, Quality, Regulatory, Packaging, Procurement, and Sales throughout product development
  • Troubleshoot formulation and manufacturing challenges
  • Support commercialization of new products while ensuring GMP and regulatory compliance
  • Maintain formulation documentation, specifications, technical records, and manufacturing instructions
  • Manage multiple development projects while meeting timelines


What We're Looking For:
