• Validate and stress-test recommendation outputs for scientific accuracy, safety, and clinical relevance;
• Translate complex scientific findings into structured documentation and usable data formats that support product development;
• Collaborate closely with founders, production teams, and operations teams to ensure scientific integrity is embedded throughout the consumer recommendation pipeline;
• Identify contraindications, safety concerns, and population-specific sensitivities within the recommendation logic
• Support ongoing refinement of ingredient protocols (ie dose, timing etc) and personalization frameworks as the platform evolves

Ideal Experience

• 2+ years applied experience post-graduate
• Advanced degree (MSc or PhD preferred) in:
• Epidemiology and Biostatistics in large data set analyses
• Wellness and Individualized Health care - Nutrition Science
• AI and large-date driven health decision analyses
• or a closely related scientific field
• reviewing and applying clinical research with the ability to assess real-world relevance and quality of evidence
• Deep understanding of:
• supplement ingredients
• micronutrients
• mechanisms of action
• dosing frameworks
• Familiarity with biomarker interpretation
• blood panels
• hormone markers
• nutrient deficiency indicators
• wearable health data & biometrics
• Experience structuring scientific information into protocols, frameworks, decision trees, or clinical-style recommendation systems
• Ability to communicate complex scientific concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Familiarity with FDA, FTC, and DSHEA, and the boundaries between structure/function claims and disease claims
• Comfortable operating independently in high-growth startup environments

Preferred Skills

• Experience working with personalized health, longevity, or wellness products
• Familiarity with decision-tree logic or recommendation systems
• Understanding of functional medicine, preventative health, or systems biology
• Experience organizing scientific research into scalable operational frameworks

Engagement Details

• Contract role - with possibility of full time position
