Job description

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

Grüns is looking for a Chief Product Officer to lead the incredible team that brings new products, flavors, and formulations to market and to define the next chapter of what we build. Reporting to our CEO and overseeing the R&D, Science & Regulatory, and Product Development functions, you'll be the driving force behind what Grüns brings to market next.

We’re looking for a true builder – someone who knows this world deeply enough to get into the weeds with the team as needed, but is focused on building for the future, creating and scaling systems, and multiplying impact by consistently leading our high-performing team to be the best in their respective functions.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing offsites where we can connect IRL.

In this role, you will:

Lead a best-in-class product team, ensuring each function delivers the highest-quality work and outcomes. Set a clear vision for what great looks like and ensure the team works seamlessly together to deliver.
Drive innovation strategy through the right product innovation roadmap, identifying emerging categories, ingredients, and consumer opportunities. Champion bold, evidence-backed innovation while building the right process to bring ideas to market efficiently through our in-house R&D capabilities
Create industry-leading, science-backed formulations by ensuring everything we create is efficacious, compliant, and defensible. Set the bar for how we use clinical evidence, ingredient science, and regulatory strategy as a competitive advantage.
Partner cross-functionally to deliver winning go-to-market strategies that translate product innovation into business results. Bring a commercial lens to every launch decision.
Build for quality and scale by ensuring that quality, consistency, supply chain resilience, and process efficiency are core to how we develop and launch products.

We're looking for someone who:

15+ years of progressive experience in product, with at least 5+ years leading a product or R&D organization in supplements, functional food, or adjacent CPG categories
Proven track record of launching and scaling successful consumer products from concept through commercialization
Deep fluency in formulation science, ingredient sourcing, and regulatory affairs in the supplement or food space
Experience building and leading cross-functional product teams across R&D, development, science, and quality
Strong commercial instincts; knows how to connect product decisions to brand, growth, and margin outcomes

Approach to the role:

You thrive in a fast-moving, resource-efficient environment where speed and creativity matter as much as rigor
You build systems, not just solutions. When something breaks, you fix it and solve at the root by working on the thing that keeps it from breaking again
You measure excellence in the impact your team delivers to the business vs. in busyness or tasks completed
You strive to be the best at what you do and encourage your team to do the same – you’re not satisfied with good or solid, and consistently strive for excellence
You’re leveraging AI in unique ways to augment or accelerate quality of formulations and speed to market

Compensation & Benefits:

At Grüns, we're committed to providing a competitive total compensation package — grounded in market data that considers our size, stage, industry, and location. For this role, the base salary is $350,000 + incentive compensation, paired with a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being and growth of our team.

A bit about us...

At Grüns, we believe that foundational nutrition should be simple and convenient for everyone. We're dedicated to bringing comprehensive and real nutrition to you through our gummies, formulated from 60 nutrient-dense and whole-food ingredients. Simply enjoy a grab-and-go snack pack of gummies daily whenever fits best in your schedule and wherever life takes you.

Like you, we were disappointed. There’s an infinite number of “nutrition” companies, all focused on what’s best for them — not what’s best for you. Hundreds of products to sell you on, low-quality ingredients, and small nutrient doses. We’ve seen it all.

So we decided it was time to fix it. No more choking on and popping pills like a pharmacy. No more clean-up and disgust from gross powders. And no more cobbling together handfuls to dozens of supplements. Grüns is comprehensive nutrition, made convenient and delicious.

What we care about...

Be the Best: We hold ourselves, our teams, and our partners to an incredibly high standard - and we raise the bar constantly. "We've never done this before" isn't an excuse here. It's an invitation.

Own It: We act like our name is on the door. That means taking complete ownership of outcomes, collaborating deeply, working through roadblocks - not around them - and never waiting for someone else to solve the problem. Great owners are great partners.

Drive Impact, Urgently: We measure impact, not effort. We work smart and hard, move fast, and use every tool at our disposal - including AI - to focus our energy where it matters most.

Compensation & Perks:

For every role, we aim to have highly competitive compensation and opportunity for impact and career growth.

Everyone at Grüns works hard, but we believe in wellness and balance too. We have super strong benefits coverage -- for you and your family, generous PTO, free Grüns, and a few more perks centered around health and well-being that we can't wait to tell you about!
