Reporting to our CEO and overseeing the R&D, Science & Regulatory, and Product Development functions, you'll be the driving force behind what Grüns brings to market next.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL.

In this role, you will:

• Lead a best-in-class product team, ensuring each function delivers the highest-quality work and outcomes.

• Champion bold, evidence-backed innovation while building the right process to bring ideas to market efficiently through our in-house R&D capabilities.
• Create industry-leading, science-backed formulations by ensuring everything we create is efficacious, compliant, and defensible.
• Set the bar for how we use clinical evidence, ingredient science, and regulatory strategy as a competitive advantage.
• Partner cross-functionally to deliver winning go-to-market strategies that translate product innovation into business results.
• Bring a commercial lens to every launch decision.
• Build for quality and scale by ensuring that quality, consistency, supply chain resilience, and process efficiency are core to how we develop and launch products.

Qualifications

• Proven track record of launching and scaling successful consumer products from concept through commercialization.
• Deep fluency in formulation science, ingredient sourcing, and regulatory affairs in the supplement or food space.
• Experience building and leading cross-functional product teams across R&D, development, science, and quality.
• Strong commercial instincts; knows how to connect product decisions to brand, growth, and margin outcomes.

Requirements

• You thrive in a fast-moving, resource-efficient environment where speed and creativity matter as much as rigor.
• You build systems, not just solutions. When something breaks, you fix it and solve at the root.
• You measure excellence in the impact your team delivers to the business vs. in busyness or tasks completed.
• You strive to be the best at what you do and encourage your team to do the same.
• You’re leveraging AI in unique ways to augment or accelerate quality of formulations and speed to market.

Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package, including a base salary of $350,000 plus incentive compensation.
