SCIENCE & RESEARCH
Senior Research Scientist — Life Sciences
The role
Lead evidence evaluation, research planning and scientific translation for health and wellness programs. You will help turn a product question into a rigorous, appropriately scoped plan, then make the resulting evidence useful to client decisions. Working with qualified research partners who execute studies, you will guide the scientific questions, evaluate findings and translate evidence into clear recommendations.
What you’ll do
- Conduct focused literature reviews and synthesize relevant findings, weighing the strength, relevance and limitations of available evidence.
- Shape client objectives into testable research questions and plans, including appropriate endpoints, in coordination with qualified research partners.
- Interpret study data and explain what the results do—and do not—support, with sound analytical judgment and clear documentation.
- Assess ingredients, formulations and delivery systems against scientific rationale, intended use and available evidence.
- Prepare concise, client-ready scientific briefs that translate complex material into practical product-development decisions.
- Coordinate R&D, quality and manufacturing handoffs so scientific context and open questions carry through the work.
What you’ll bring
- Applied research experience in life sciences and a strong grounding in experimental design and analytical judgment.
- Evidence literacy: the ability to assess study quality, distinguish findings from claims and communicate limitations clearly.
- Rigorous recordkeeping, careful attention to detail and the ability to organize several workstreams without losing scientific nuance.
- Confident written and verbal communication, including the ability to work directly with clients and specialist partners.
- Familiarity with nutrition, consumer health or clinical research is valuable.
