and be motivated by the opportunity to meaningfully shape the creative direction of a
growing portfolio of brands.

Who You Are
- You think like both a designer and a marketer
- You care about how things perform, not just how they look
- You have strong opinions, loosely held
- You’re intellectually curious and want to understand the “why” behind everything
- You’re excited by the idea of building and shaping brands from the ground up
Why work with us?
- We’re building a new kind of consumer biotech company, combining cutting-edge science with best-in-class branding and storytelling.
- Our goal is not just to create effective products, but to build brands people genuinely trust and love.
- You’ll be working alongside a small, high-performing team with experience building and scaling successful companies. This is a place where strong thinkers and builders can have an outsized impact, grow quickly, and take on meaningful ownership.
Why NOT work with us?
- This is a fast-paced, high-expectation environment. We move quickly and hold a high bar. It’s not for everyone.
