Location: Hyderabad (in-office)
Function: R&D; & Product Development
Reports to: Founders

Earthful is a plant-based nutrition brand for women's health, backed by Fireside Ventures and V3 Ventures. Our product pipeline is the engine behind the brand — this role owns it end to end, from the phytochemistry that makes a formulation work to the team that ships it, launch after launch.

Role Overview
This role owns Earthful's product innovation pipeline — leading the R&D; team through ingredient and phytochemical research, formulation, stability testing, and production-ready handoff for 3+ current nutraceutical/wellness products a month. You'll lead and grow a team of formulation scientists, build the project management discipline that keeps multiple launches moving in parallel, and give leadership regular, honest visibility into the pipeline. This is a hands-on technical leadership role — you'll be expected to go deep on the science as well as run the team and the process.

What You'll Own
Current Product Development & Launch Velocity




• Stay current on phytochemical research and category trends to keep the innovation pipeline forward-looking, not only reactive to a fixed roadmap
• Own end-to-end delivery of 3+ product launches per month — spanning net-recent formulations, variants, raw material changes, and form-factor changes
• Lead ingredient and phytochemical research for new and reformulated products
• Develop and refine trial formulations through to production-ready specs
• Run stability testing and ensure every formulation is genuinely production-ready before handoff
• Ensure every launch meets quality, cost, and regulatory requirements

Team Leadership
• Lead, mentor, and allocate work across the R&D; team
• Keep multiple concurrent formulation projects moving in parallel without bottlenecking on any one person
• Build the team's technical depth in phytochemistry and formulation science through hands-on mentorship
• Hire and develop R&D; talent as the team and pipeline scale
