Grüns Nutrition Inc.
We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!
About the Role As Grüns scales rapidly, we're looking for a strategic and hands‑on Manager of Science & Research to play a critical role in shaping the scientific foundation behind new product innovation and marketing strategies. This role will sit at the intersection of science, marketing, and product, ensuring we build trust with our customers and continue to launch first‑of‑their‑kind formulas backed by evidence and data. The ideal candidate will have excellent communication skills, a passion for advancing health and wellness, and a strong scientific background, with demonstrated expertise in claims substantiation and clinical research design and analysis. This is a foundational hire for the business and an opportunity to shape how we think about research, compliance, and education as we expand our portfolio, and will report into our Director of Science and Regulatory. We have a fully remote, high‑trust work environment – and also come together on a bi‑annual basis for amazing off‑sites where we can connect IRL.

Clinical Studies:
Support clinical study initiatives for new products, working closely with Director of Science and Regulatory and third‑party partners to design and execute trials. You will help establish credibility in effective offerings across multiple consumer needs categories.

Experience:
3‑5 years of experience in science, regulatory affairs, or product development, including at least 1+ year within the dietary supplement or food industry in a related capacity.
