The Opportunity

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves health and wellness products and enjoys turning ideas into results. You will work directly with our Founder and CEO, executive team, manufacturers, regulatory professionals, and an experienced product consultant. You will be involved throughout the product journey: Idea → Research → Formula → Samples → Costing → Regulatory/NPN → Packaging → Manufacturing → Training → Launch → Performance Analysis

This is not a traditional management position with a large team to delegate to. You must be comfortable moving between strategy and execution—whether that means researching a new ingredient, comparing formulas, updating a project tracker, testing samples, negotiating costs, or following up with a manufacturer. One week, you may be researching the next electrolyte formula. The next, you could be reviewing protein samples, coordinating an NPN project, or creating a product-training module for store employees.

What You’ll Do

Product innovation and development

Research emerging ingredients, categories, flavours, formats, and consumer trends. Maintain an active pipeline of new product ideas and portfolio improvements. Benchmark BEC products against leading Canadian, U.S. and international brands. Compare formulas, ingredients, dosages, claims, sizes, flavours, pricing and overall value. Identify opportunities for new products, reformulations, extensions or improved positioning. Create product briefs and work with manufacturers on formulas and specifications. Coordinate samples, taste tests, quotes, minimum orders, and lead times. Support packaging, artwork, and product launches. Keep projects moving by identifying delays, following up, and finding solutions. Regulatory and quality

Work with regulatory consultants and manufacturers on NPN applications and amendments. Gather documentation and monitor outstanding regulatory requirements. Review formulas, ingredients, labels, and proposed claims. Help coordinate compliant packaging and labelling. Maintain organized regulatory and product records. Investigate quality concerns and work with partners through resolution. You do not need to know every regulatory answer yourself. You do need practical familiarity with Canadian Natural Health Product requirements and the resourcefulness to find answers, involve the right experts, and follow through. Commercial and portfolio performance

Monitor sales, units, growth, margins, product costs, inventory, pricing, and store performance. Gather customer and employee feedback. Identify strong performers, emerging opportunities, and underperforming products. Recommend changes to formulas, packaging, pricing, positioning, education, or promotion. Help determine when a product should be improved, repositioned, or discontinued. Ensure that product decisions balance quality, customer demand, margin, and commercial potential. Suppliers, costs, and production

Build productive relationships with manufacturers and suppliers. Request and compare pricing, minimum orders, and lead times. Negotiate costs where appropriate. Monitor raw-material and manufacturing costs. Identify margin and supply-chain improvements without compromising quality. Coordinate production schedules and delivery timelines. Manage inventory forecasting by setting appropriate production quantities and reorder points based on demand, lead times, and MOQs. Product education

Create clear, engaging product knowledge sheets, FAQs, and comparison guides. Support training videos, modules, and educational presentations. Develop key selling points and new-product launch information. Work with Operations and Marketing to make technical product information practical and useful for store teams. Project ownership

Maintain organized quality documentation, including Certificates of Analysis, product specifications, stability/shelf-life testing, a
