Senior Product Development Specialist

Product Development Specialist, North America

Salt Lake City, Utah Full-Time, Remote Operations Department

About the Role

At EHPlabs, we’re obsessed with creating products that help people become the best version of themselves. From industry-leading supplements to innovative functional beverages, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in health, fitness, and performance nutrition.

Reporting to the Director of Supply Chain, you’ll act as the key connection between our Australia-based Product Development team and our manufacturing partners across the United States, Canada and United Kingdom. No two days look the same. One day you might be evaluating flavor samples with a manufacturing partner, the next you’re approving a first production run, troubleshooting a product issue, or helping launch a new innovation into the market.

You’ll play a critical role in accelerating product development timelines, strengthening supplier relationships, and ensuring seamless execution across our growing portfolio of supplements, beverages, and functional nutrition products. Beyond hands-on product development and commercialization, we’re looking for someone who brings curiosity, commercial awareness, and a proactive approach to innovation. You’ll be expected to identify emerging consumer trends, challenge existing approaches, and independently drive product development initiatives forward while collaborating with our global teams.

This role is ideally based in the Salt Lake City area, where many of our key manufacturing and ingredient partners are located. We are prioritizing candidates who are local or willing to relocate, though we welcome applications from across the US for those willing to travel to the area regularly based on business needs.
