About the Role
Are you a Chemist ready to trade the lab coat for a lead role in commercial strategy? Or a Chemical Buyer who thrives on the technical data behind the SKU?

Reporting to the Sr. Operations Manager and working directly with the CEO and lead Chemist, you will continuously build out our product roadmap and ensure our technical integrity remains "zero-error" as we scale. At the core, you will work cross functionally to successfully launch new products.
