Product Scientist & Scientific Communications

(Product Development | Scientific Affairs | Consumer Education)

About Us

Kytans Nutrition develops clinically aligned nutrition products built on real research, proper specifications, and regulatory compliance — not marketing shortcuts.

This role bridges science, formulation, and regulatory awareness (RA), and finally, deliver the message to the consumers.

Your Role

You will be involved in product formulation, research validation, and regulatory alignment, ensuring all formulations:

• Are supported by credible research
• Meet local regulatory requirements
• Are feasible for real-world manufacturing (our experienced team will guide)

This is not a “copy-paste ingredient” role.
It requires critical thinking and responsibility.

Key Responsibilities:

Research & Development

• Research and evaluate bioactive ingredients based on published studies
• Translate research data into compliant, realistic formulations
• Ensure formulations align with regulatory frameworks (RA-aware)
• Review ingredient specifications, COA, and supplier documentation
• Support product claims with evidence-based justification
• Work closely with manufacturers on formulation feasibility
• Identify potential regulatory or safety risks early
• Assist in product documentation, technical write-ups, and internal SOPs
• Stay updated on nutrition science, formulation trends, and regulations

Regulatory & Compliance Scope

• Understand basic Regulatory Affairs (RA) principles for supplements
• Ensure ingredient selection and dosage comply with applicable regulations
• Flag non-compliant ingredients, dosages, or claims
• Support internal review for label accuracy and claim responsibility
• Coordinate with RA / QA when needed (local or regional)

(Deep RA specialization not required, but strong awareness is essential.)

Product Manager:

• Present the concept explanation & scientific content as the inventor or as part of the scientist team of the invention to the public.

What We’re Looking For

• Background in:
• Nutrition Science

• Familiar with supplement formulation principles
• Basic understanding of regulatory requirements is required
• Detail-oriented, responsible, and documentation-driven
• Interest in evidence-based nutrition & functional ingredients
• Proficiency in multiple languages is a bonus

Fresh graduates with strong academic fundamentals and research skills are welcome, our experienced team will guide the Know-How process.

What We Offer

• Work on serious formulations — not marketing-driven products
• Exposure to real formulation & regulatory decision-making
• Collaboration with manufacturers and technical partners
• Strong learning curve in applied nutrition science
• Opportunity to grow into:
• Senior R&D
• Technical Manager
• Regulatory-focused roles
• Flexible or hybrid work structure (role-dependent)
