JOB OVERVIEW

We're a US supplement brand selling on Amazon and TikTok Shop. We win by finding niches our competitors miss and executing sharper on research, formulation, and packaging. We're hiring ONE sharp, exclusive, full-time R&D Lead to own our product pipeline end to end - you d ---------- what we launch next and back it with data.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Niche Analysis & GO/NO-GO reports: for each new product idea, research demand (search volume, category revenue, TikTok signal), barrier to entry (new-entrant revenue, click-share, price bands), the keyword/ranking landscape, a full competitor teardown, a proposed formula, mined customer-review insight, and a clear GO/NO-GO call. This decision-ready analysis is your core output.
- Formulation direction: shape the formula - ingredients, forms, clinical doses, %DV, branded ingredients (KSM-66, chelated minerals, etc.) - benchmarked to top competitors. You hand our formulator a tight brief.
- Packaging strategy & copy: d ---------- the front-panel hierarchy (headline, subheading, claims, keyword placement, badges) for bottle and box - keyword-optimized AND FDA-compliant (structure/function claims, %DV, Supplement Facts).
- Competitor & market intelligence: track competitor launches and Amazon + TikTok trends; deliver a weekly intel report.

YOU MUST HAVE
- 2+ years hands-on Amazon private-label product research (supplements/health/CPG strongly preferred)
- Helium 10 (or DataDive/SmartScout) + TikTok data (KaloData)
- US supplement label compliance (%DV, structure/function claims, Supplement Facts)
- Enough ingredient/dosing knowledge to build a competitive formula and QC a competitor's label
- Sharp English writing; AI-native (you drive Claude/ChatGPT daily)

HOW WE WORK
Full-time, exclusive, long-term - focused on our brand, not juggling other clients. We use time-tracking and work transparently in shared docs. Integrity and straight communication over raw speed.

PAY & GROWTH
$20/hour full-time to start, with a short paid trial up front and a clear path to $25/hour as you prove out (consistent GO/NO-GO quality + a launched winner). Long-term home for the right person.

HOURS
Full-time (40 hrs/week), daily overlap ~1-5 PM US Eastern.

TO APPLY
Start your message with the word CORTISOL so we know you read this. Include: (1) 1-2 real samples of Amazon/supplement research you've done, (2) your tool stack and what you pull from each, (3) one supplement niche you think is about to pop and why (2-3 sentences). Finalists do a strong interview, then a short skills test + a PAID mock niche analysis.
