North York, Canada Riverside Natural Foods Ltd. Full time

Join Riverside Natural Foods Ltd., a $300 million+ Canadian-based, family-owned, and globally operating business, committed to leaving the world better than we found it. As a B-Corp certified, Triple-Bottom Line company, we proudly manufacture nutritious, 'better-for-you' snacks such as MadeGood and GOOD TO GO. We value teamwork, humility, respect, ownership, adaptability, grit, and fun.

We're on an ambitious mission to double our business by 2027, and we need talented individuals like you to help us reach new heights. At Riverside, you'll have the opportunity to chart your own path to success while contributing to ours. We believe anything worth doing is worth doing right, and our values will guide us through the rugged terrain - and yes, it will get rough. But that's what makes the journey worthwhile.

So, lace up your boots and let's tackle the climb together.

This position supports the Research & Development/ Technical Innovation department in brand maintenance, quality improvement, innovation, and productivity initiatives to help the company consistently deliver high quality food products.

**Primary Responsibilities**:

- Exhibit and protect Riverside's Core Values
- Collect & analyze data to baseline of current operations of existing food products. Institute new analytical tests if necessary
- Run trials in collaboration with Senior Food Scientist on different formulations or processing conditions. Determine whether the trials have been successful based on the analytics. Recommend next steps.
- Lead shelf life studies & improve existing shelf life program
- Maintain organization of the R&D lab. Keep lab stocked, tidy, and write SOPs as necessary to support good operation of the lab.
- Produce product prototypes in lab for sensory evaluation
- Work in conjunction with other R&D Scientists and Production to commercialize new equipment and products.
- Assist in R&D projects to improve productivity, quality, & consistency; engage all stakeholders throughout project
- Other duties as required

**Reporting Relationships**

The position reports directly to the R&D Senior Scientist/ Technical Innovation Manager.

**Qualifications**
- Food Science, Engineering, or related degree in progress
- Ability to work independently and prioritize workload
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, attention to detail
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, able to effectively interact with operations, other departments, and management
- Desire for career growth and personal skill development

**What we expect**:

- **Values-led**: You'll be a member of a thoughtful and compassionate team that prioritizes respect, teamwork and resourcefulness along with a good dash of fun. Sometimes, even making granola bars is hard, and life's too short to take ourselves so seriously that we don't enjoy the journey.
- **Unparalleled experiences and opportunities**: We're still determining who we are and what we can be. Help us shape what this organization will look like and what we'll offer the world, into the future. This means rolling up your sleeves and sometimes building the process - fast - while employing it. At Riverside, progress occasionally means proceeding imperfectly, and we're okay with that, as long as we're staying true to our values and learning and improving along the way.
- **Access to everyone**: We're a flat organization with few silos which means you'll have full access to everyone from our founders to our production staff. Even when employees dress up, they wear steel-toed shoes. So don't be shy. Speak up, share your ideas and go places you normally wouldn't - like the plant, or the boardroom.
- **Personal development**: We'll support and empower you to chart your own path and reach any heights you set for yourself. Career paths at Riverside are carved by the people walking on them, not dictated by leaders. Count on us to give you the training and tools to grow and progress.
- **Gratitude**: As a growing business, we can't always offer formal recognition like awards programs, but we do show our true gratitude and appreciation. At Riverside, we're all in this together and we value you.

**What We Offer**:

- **Values-led**: We don't cut corners or step on anyone or anything on our way to our summit. There is no winning at all costs here. Every step you take must align with our values, no compromises.
- **Courageous determination**: As a family-run, rapidly growing business, we are often challenged to find ways to deliver that aren't obvious or easy. You must be willing to try, ask and answer challenging questions, test and learn, turn over every stone, keep moving forward and help us find a way through. Resourcefulness and grit will be your constant companions at Riverside and will serve you well.
- **Humility**:We're a small (but growing) fish in a sea of whales and sharks. We know the products we offer are some of the healthiest and most sustainable, but we don't brag about it, and know we have a
