Company Overview Pearl West is redefining what it means to build consumer brands. Think of us as a lean, high-performance version of Unilever—without the bureaucracy. We own and operate several brands in health supplements, beauty, sports nutrition, skincare, and pet categories, with a combined run rate of $40M+ USD and scaling aggressively. Our mission is simple: build brands that leave lasting impressions and exit them at their peak. What makes us different? We’re not “scale and pray” private equity. We’re operator-led, performance-driven, and outcome-obsessed. Our centralized shared-services model—covering growth, creative, product, and operations—fuels multiple brands with speed, clarity, and execution. If you want to lead with autonomy, move fast, and own results , Pearl West is your arena.

This is a full-time leadership role focused exclusively on the health supplements category , requiring a balance of strategic vision, scientific rigor, and operational execution. You’ll drive new product launches that align with consumer trends, regulatory standards, and Pearl West’s commitment to high-performance products that scale. Key Responsibilities Lead end-to-end product development — from ideation, R&D, supplier sourcing, and formulation to testing, compliance, and launch. Own the innovation pipeline — identify white-space opportunities and build a roadmap aligned with market trends in supplements and wellness. Collaborate cross-functionally — work with marketing, operations, and creative to ensure seamless go-to-market execution. Optimize economics & scalability — negotiate supplier contracts, improve COGS, and enhance profitability without compromising quality. Ensure compliance & quality — manage regulatory and labeling standards across multiple markets. Accelerate time-to-market — establish efficient systems and workflows to move from concept to launch rapidly.

Achieve ≥70% gross margin on all new supplement launches. Deliver at least 20–25% of annual brand revenue from products launched within the past 12 months. Reduce time-to-market by 25–30% compared to prior cycles (targeting
