Job descriptionIdentify and recommend best-in-class raw materials, actives, and functional ingredients from reputable global suppliers. Build a preferred supplier matrix with contacts, lead times, and MOQs to support seamless scale-up.

Collaborate with Clinical Testing partners to define testing protocols, expected outcomes, and performance benchmarks. Maintain comprehensive formulation records, batch sheets, and test reports.

Provide formulation IP documentation highlighting novelty and distinctiveness for trademark / patent purposes.

Technical Leadership : Provide scientific input and decision-making support on formulation strategy and raw material selection.
