  • Formulation Scientist - Dietary Supplement

    Pave Talent 4.5company rating

    Principal research scientist job in Winchester, KY

    Our client is expanding beyond the CBD space into broader nutraceutical and dietary supplement categories. We are seeking an entrepreneurial Dietary Supplement Formulator to join our team. This role is critical in supporting the sales team as they build out new business lines; you will be "building the plane while flying it." The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment with some "gray area," where they must act quickly to support urgent sales requests. You will not be siloed; unlike roles in large corporations, you will handle end-to-end responsibilities including sourcing and costing, as there is no separate procurement team for these tasks. Key Responsibilities Rapid Prototyping & Sales Support: Develop rapid-turnaround formulations to support the sales team with realistic, deliverable products. Cost Analysis & Procurement: Source raw materials and calculate formulation costs independently, as you will not have a dedicated procurement or costing team to rely on. Cross-Category Formulation: Develop and refine formulations across various delivery systems, including liquids and topicals. Scale-Up Management: Oversee the scaling of formulas from benchtop to production, ensuring commercial viability and troubleshooting issues as they arise. Regulatory & Quality: Ensure all formulations meet regulatory standards within an FDA-registered cGMP facility. Qualifications Education: Bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biology, Food Science, or a related field. Experience: 3-5 years in dietary supplement or nutraceutical formulation. Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of active ingredients, delivery systems, and excipients. Generalist Mindset: Experience wearing "multiple hats" in smaller/mid-sized companies, avoiding siloed function. Entrepreneurial Spirit: Comfortable with ambiguity and urgent timelines to support sales initiatives.
