Are you passionate about bringing bold, innovative product ideas to life? Do you live and breathe health, wellness, or functional nutrition—and want to make a real impact doing what you love?

We’re on the lookout for an energetic, solutions-focused and creatively charged New Product Development (NPD) Specialist to join our small but high-performing team. You'll help drive the creation and commercialisation of next-generation wellness products for some of Australia’s biggest fitness, health and lifestyle brands.

This is a rare opportunity to work across concept, formulation, testing, client collaboration and production implementation—all from within a fast-paced, collaborative environment where your ideas won’t just be heard… they’ll be actioned.

About Us

We’re a Brisbane-based contract manufacturer working with some of the most recognised names in the Australian health and wellness space. We develop and produce a wide range of powdered supplements, functional foods and wellness formulations across three sites, and we’re known for delivering innovative solutions with agility, speed and excellence.

People come to us to bring their brand and their vision to life—your role will be to help make that happen.

About the Role

In this full-time, hands-on role, you’ll work closely with clients, suppliers and our internal teams to bring new products from concept to shelf. You’ll be managing multiple development projects at once, applying your technical know-how, trend awareness and commercial thinking to create standout products that perform.

Key Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end development of new supplement and functional food products

Collaborate with clients to understand brand goals and develop concepts that align

Research and identify ingredients, flavours and functional actives that meet regulatory and performance standards

Formulate and trial new products, including benchtop samples, pilot runs and scale-up

Manage documentation, technical specs, costings, and regulatory compliance throughout the development cycle

Liaise with procurement and manufacturing teams to align on feasibility, timelines and raw material availability

Stay ahead of trends in health, wellness, fitness, ingredients and consumer demand

Solve problems on the fly, from flavour challenges to ingredient substitutions

Support continuous improvement of existing formulations and internal NPD processes

Work closely with a tight-knit team of passionate professionals who love what they do

About You

You’re more than just technically capable—you’re passionate, energetic and love creating real solutions that hit the mark for brands and consumers alike. You’re proactive, curious, and thrive on the buzz of developing something new.

You’ll bring:

A degree in Food Science, Nutrition, Naturopathy, Product Development or similar

2–5+ years’ experience in NPD within supplements, sports nutrition, wellness or functional foods

Strong understanding of ingredients, nutrition panels, and labelling requirements

A creative but commercially aware mindset—you understand what works in the market

Excellent project coordination and communication skills

A hands-on, can-do approach—you’re comfortable in the lab, on the floor, or in front of a client

The ability to juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball

A team spirit—collaboration is part of your DNA

Bonus points if you’ve worked in a contract manufacturing environment and love the pace and variety it brings.

Why Join Us?

Be part of something that’s growing fast and going places

Work with the most exciting brands in the Australian wellness space

Collaborate with a smart, passionate and supportive team

See your work come to life on shelves and in the hands of real consumers

A workplace where your energy, ideas and input really matter
