Hi, we're Nuts.com!
Nuts.com is a self-funded, profitable, rapidly growing multi-channel DTC specialty food and wellness company with over 550 people on our team. We're changing the landscape of snacking on nuts, dried fruit, chocolate and more! We planted our roots in Newark, New Jersey during the Great Depression, selling premium nuts on Mulberry Street's open-air market. We've come quite a long way since then, taking our multi-generational family business online in 1999. Even after 97 years, we continue to pride ourselves in expertly sourcing the highest quality foods and treating our customers like family.
What's our team like? We're driven, collaborative and entrepreneurial. Energy and passion power our business and we look for candidates who share in that excitement to help us continue to build something special.
As the Director of R&D, Product Innovation, you will build and lead Nuts.com's in-house recipe development capability — a brand-new function at the heart of our innovation and quality agenda. You'll develop original recipes for net new product lines, create insourced formulations for products we currently outsource, and be a champion for our quality mission. You'll also extend our recipe development capabilities to our B2B business, creating custom and private label formulations for wholesale customers.
Reporting to the VP Merchandising & Product Innovation you'll sit within the Merchandising team and partner closely with Operations, Supply Chain, FSQA, and Commercialization to take formulations from concept to scaled production. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for a food scientist or product developer who thrives on variety: you'll juggle multiple innovation and value creation projects at once, moving nimbly between chocolate, confections, and shelf-stable snacks. As our innovation pipeline scales, this role offers the opportunity to build out a dedicated Innovation team and shape the future of what Nuts.com makes.
