Your Role

This is not a traditional in-plant QA role. All of our products are manufactured by third-party partners, so the ideal candidate will bring strong experience in quality oversight for co-manufactured products, ideally in the vitamins and supplements space.

- Review and approve product specification sheets and ensure alignment across R&D, suppliers, and co-mans
- Review and approve Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), investigating and resolving any out-of-spec results in collaboration with co-mans
- Manage third-party labs and testing facilities for microbiological, stability, and compatibility testing
- Investigate and resolve quality issues, including product non-conformance, consumer complaints, and manufacturing deviations
- Develop, maintain, and enforce quality agreements and SOPs with all co-mans
- Serve as primary QA contact for internal cross-functional teams and external co-mans on all product quality or compliance issues
- Stay current on evolving supplement regulations and proactively adjust internal processes to remain in compliance
- Support documentation and regulatory submissions for new market launches
- Evaluate and qualify new manufacturers partners in collaboration with Operations and R&D, including supplier qualification evaluations, risk assessments, and review of quality measures
- Review, maintain, and archive raw material, packaging, and relevant quality documentation for all SKUs, including specs, certificate of analysis, and regulatory certificates, ensuring proper filing and audit readiness

- Strong understanding of formulation, product stability, ingredient sourcing, and supplement production processes and regulatory requirements
- Interpersonal:
- Meticulous attention to detail, with strong organizational and documentation skills
- Strong cross-functional communication skills and ability to operate independently
