Why this business

This is a science-led organisation operating at the forefront of microbiome innovation, with a unique focus on the fungal microbiome - an underexplored and high-potential segment. Backed by over a decade of research and founded by a recognised expert in the field, the business combines scientific credibility with commercial ambition.

Having evolved from a consumer brand into a B2B ingredient and testing solutions provider, the company is now scaling rapidly by partnering with leading supplement and wellness brands across the U.S. You’ll join at an early commercial inflection point, supported by an experienced and collaborative leadership team, with the opportunity to directly influence growth across a high-potential market.

• Experience selling clinically backed, value-driven ingredients over commodity products
• Ability to communicate technical concepts in a clear, commercial way

Who this suits

You’re a commercially driven hunter who thrives on building from scratch. You enjoy autonomy, take ownership of your region, and know how to open doors within complex customer environments. You’re motivated by the chance to shape something early, backed by credible science and a supportive team - not a fully built structure.
