Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Pearl West Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

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. Role Overview As the Innovation & R&D Manager, you'll lead the full lifecycle of product development—from concept and formulation to launch and post-market optimization. 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 ResponsibilitiesLead 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. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)Launch 4–6 new SKUs per quarter (or ~15–20 annually) — from concept to market-ready within agreed timelines. 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
