About Us

The human brain is the most complex object in the universe, yet society had accepted one-size-fits all approaches to cognition. The “solutions” (think coffee, energy drinks, and even a friend’s rx) were mediocre at best and frankly, made no sense to us. So, we created Thesis, the world’s first customized nootropics company. If you’ve never heard that word before, it’s just a fancy way of saying brain supplements. In five years, most will be taking nootropics on the daily and chances are, they’ll be ours.

With an exceptional efficacy rate, the world has taken notice — we’ve raised over $14M in venture capital, garnered interest from leading neuroscientists and athletes, and established ourselves as the industry’s leading brand. Now, we’re looking for incredible people to help us share the gift of enhanced cognitive function with the world. If you’re looking to be a part of a movement — one that involves both immense self-growth and an ambitious mission to pioneer an industry — we’d love to have you on the team.

• Partner closely with R&D to facilitate commercialization of new and emerging product initiatives.

• Continue to add talent and build your team as the needs of the business evolve.

We’re Excited About Your:

• 5-7+ years of experience in supply chain, logistics, operations, or a related field within a DTC CPG or supplements business.

MAKE YOUR DEBUT

About Debut

Debut is a vertically integrated biotechnology company pioneering the next generation of high-performance cosmetic active ingredients. We combine AI-driven discovery with proprietary bioprocessing to develop the highest performing and clinically proven active ingredients that outperform conventionally sourced alternatives. From molecule to market, Debut controls the full value chain: ingredient discovery, formulation science, clinical validation, and scaled manufacturing delivering novel active ingredients to the global beauty industry faster and with better efficacy data than traditional suppliers.

Summary

Debut is seeking a commercially driven, highly connected Director of Formulation Sales to own and grow our East Coast formulation business. This is a hunter and closer role focused exclusively on selling custom-developed finished formulations to beauty brands, not an ingredient sales role. The right candidate has spent their career inside the beauty contract manufacturing ecosystem, knows how prestige and emerging brands buy, and understands how to move a formulation brief from first conversation to signed commercial agreement. The ideal candidate is deeply embedded in the East Coast beauty community, with active beauty relationships. They will carry an established book of brand relationships, arrive ready to engage immediately, and be comfortable presenting to a VP of Product Development. Reporting directly to the Chief Commercial Officer, this person will serve as Debut’s primary commercial driver for East Coast formulation revenue.

Essential Functions

• Own and drive Debut’s East Coast formulation sales strategy, with full accountability for revenue achievement and expansion of the active customer base across prestige, masstige, and indie beauty segments in the East Coast market.
• Leverage an existing, active network of decision-maker relationships at major beauty brands with a concentration in East Coast-headquartered prestige, masstige and indie brands including VP-level and above contacts in product development, R&D, and procurement, to open doors, secure formulation briefs, and accelerate commercial cycles. Proactively identify, prioritize, and pursue new brand partnerships across skincare and color cosmetics to continuously expand Debut’s East Coast brand portfolio.
• Lead the full formulation sales cycle from initial brand engagement through briefing, proposal, sampling, pricing, and first production purchase order, coordinating closely with Debut’s R&D, Operations and formulation teams throughout. Awarded formulations are manufactured and filled by Debut’s CM partners, and this role is responsible for managing a smooth commercial handoff to ensure seamless execution.
• Develop deep understanding of each brand customer’s NPD roadmap, franchise architecture, launch/portfolio priorities and translate that intelligence into tailored product/formulation proposals that integrate Debut’s active ingredient platform.
• Represent Debut at US and international industry trade shows, brand summits, and brand innovation strategy sessions. Plan and execute brand-facing activations in coordination with the marketing and R&D teams ensuring Debut’s custom formulation capabilities are compellingly presented.
• Build and maintain a rigorous, accurate sales pipeline detailed in Debut’s CRM, providing the CCO with clear visibility into project status, revenue forecasts, and market intelligence on a regular cadence.
• Serve as a trusted commercial partner to brand customers throughout the product development lifecycle, managing the relationship from initial briefing through launch and beyond with the goal of securing repeat ongoing business. Translate market feedback including brand needs, competitive dynamics, and formulation trends into actionable insights that inform Debut’s formulation roadmap, and collaborate cross-functionally with R&D, operations, and the broader commercial team to ensure brand commitments are met.
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy and entrepreneurial urgency in a fast-moving, early-stage commercial environment, building a strong project pipeline while simultaneously closing business.

Education and Experience

The successful candidate will have a genuine passion for beauty and deep roots in the Prestige, Masstige and Indie beauty world. They are a product user, a relationship builder, and a closer.  Someone who understands how brands think and can credibly represent Debut’s formulation capabilities at every stage of the NPD process. They are organized, resilient, and motivated by winning. A bachelor’s degree is required; a background in cosmetic science, chemistry, or product development is a strong plus.

• 8+ years of experience in sales or in beauty product development within the contract manufacturing field or ingredient sales, with a meaningful portion of that time spent selling formulation or custom development services directly to beauty brands.
• Established, active network of decision-maker relationships at major beauty brands, with meaningful concentration in West Coast-headquartered companies across skincare and/or color cosmetics. Candidates must be able to demonstrate existing, active brand relationships, not historical contacts in their application materials.
• Customer-centric mindset with the ability to act as a true extension of a brand’s product development team. Strong interpersonal skills and a natural ability to build trust at every level of an organization.
• Demonstrated track record of meeting and exceeding revenue targets in a B2B formulation or contract manufacturing sales role, with experience managing complex sales cycles from prospecting through to contract execution.
• Strong technical fluency sufficient to engage credibly with brand R&D and product development teams on formulation performance, ingredient claims, and product development timelines without needing to be a chemist.
• Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, with the ability to craft and deliver compelling product narratives tailored to brand-specific business priorities. Assertive and confident in closing.
• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally as business needs require, including attendance at Debut’s innovation shows or key industry trade shows.
• Proficiency with CRM platforms (Monday, Salesforce or equivalent) and demonstrated discipline in pipeline management and forecasting. Accountable, KPI-focused, and goal-oriented.
• Experience working in or alongside an early-stage, high-growth company is a plus. Comfort operating in an environment where structure is still being built is essential. Self-motivated, proactive, and able to manage multiple priorities against tight timelines.

About The Role

Amazon and retail search are two of our most important and highest-potential growth channels. We're looking for an Associate Director, Amazon & Retail Search to take full ownership of our presence across Amazon, Google Shopping, and retail search, and build these into best-in-class, high-growth engines for the business.

This is a hands-on operator role with real P&L ownership. You'll be the one in the platforms, running the ads, fixing the listings, building the strategy, managing our agency partners, and driving the results. Our Amazon business is currently at $3M annually, and Google Shopping is a wide-open opportunity we've yet to fully unlock.

This role brings a unified search mindset. You understand how keyword strategy, search intent, and content optimization connect across Amazon and Google, and you use that thinking to your advantage.

This is also a rare and exciting career opportunity. If you've spent years going deep on keyword strategy, retail media, and search, and you're ready to step into a role where you own a full business function and its outcomes. You'll have the authority, the resources, and the backing of leadership to make it happen.

How You'll Make an Impact:

• Own the P&L across Amazon and retail search channels, including revenue, margin, and profitability, while unlocking Google Shopping as a meaningful growth channel.
• Take full hands-on ownership of Seller Central and/or Vendor Central: listings, content, inventory, pricing, promotions, and account health.
• Audit and overhaul our current Amazon presence: identify what's broken, prioritize fixes, and execute with urgency.

• Develop and execute our Google Shopping strategy,  owning campaign structure, feed optimization, bidding, and performance, to drive qualified traffic and revenue.
• Apply a unified retail search lens across both platforms: keyword strategy, search intent, product content, and conversion optimization that works in concert across Amazon and Google.
• Oversee and manage our Amazon and search agency partners — set the strategy, hold them accountable to results, and ensure their output is consistently raising the bar.
• Optimize all product listings with compelling copy, A+ content, enhanced imagery, and SEO-driven keyword strategy to maximize discoverability and conversion.
• Own forecasting and coordinate with supply chain to ensure in-stock rates, FBA replenishment, and compliance with Amazon's operational requirements.
• Develop and enforce brand standards on Amazon including managing unauthorized sellers, regulatory compliance,, and safeguard brand integrity across the marketplace.
• Build and maintain a productive relationship with our Amazon Vendor Manager or account team, negotiating terms and developing joint business plans.
• Generate regular reporting and translate data into clear, actionable insights for leadership. 
• Partner cross-functionally with marketing, supply chain, finance, and creative to ensure these channels are fully integrated into broader brand strategy and launch plans.

We're Excited About Your:

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in Amazon, retail search, or performance search marketing, with a track record of driving measurable growth.
• Deep, native fluency in Seller Central and/or Vendor Central.
• Strong command of Google Shopping including campaign management, product feed optimization, and performance analytics.
• A unified search mindset: you understand how keyword strategy, search intent, and content optimization connect across Amazon and Google, and you use that thinking to your advantage.
• Experience managing external agency partners and get the best out of an agency relationship.
• Proven track record of building or turning around a winning channel, not just maintaining one.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to build dashboards, interpret data, and make confident decisions based on numbers.
• Experience managing inventory forecasting and working closely with supply chain or operations teams.
• Familiarity with tools like Helium 10, DataHawk, Profitero, Google Merchant Center, or similar platforms is a strong plus.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to translate search and marketplace complexity into clear updates for leadership.

#LongLiveDogs

What We Stand For and Where You’ll Come In

The Senior Finance Manager, Innovation & Product Development will own the financial rigor behind TFD's product development pipeline, serving as the primary finance partner to our Innovation and Product Development function. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution – building the business cases, proforma P&Ls views, and margin analyses that inform which products we develop and how we bring them to market. You will be a key stakeholder in stage gate decisions, translating complex product development workstreams into clear financial narratives that shape how we evaluate innovation projects.

This role will need to evaluate new product concepts across multiple channels, product formats, and go-to-market strategies – bringing financial discipline to an increasingly dynamic portfolio. This position reports to the Director, Finance.

One Team: We don’t think of ourselves as “Acquisition Marketers”, “Engineers”, “Data Analysts”, or “Product Managers”. Beyond denoting skill sets and areas of expertise, we don’t think departments matter. We’d rather align ourselves to the goals we’re working to achieve and make sure we have necessary subject matter expertise to drive meaningful impact. We strive to orient ourselves around customer problems TOGETHER – getting the right people, with the right context, in the right rooms/Zooms to solve problems holistically.

We are skeptical about everything and precious about nothing:  Ideas can and should come from anywhere, and we aren’t tied to our own. We proactively source input. We talk to our customers and leads regularly and are quick to change course if we know there’s a better or more impactful way to solve problems.

We consider the customer journey in all of our decisions:  We know that no interaction exists in a silo and therefore understand how important every single one is.  We ensure our strategy sets prospective and new customers up for success and drives long-term retention.  We answer questions and address problems early and proactively.  We understand the value of different channels, initiatives, and messages and know how to articulate impact and advocate for prioritization holistically.

We Execute For Impact: We don’t subscribe to “best practices” or “industry KPIs”. We’re uninterested in how we compare to “benchmarks”; instead we orient ourselves around being the best we can possibly be. Similarly, we don’t subscribe to rigid or classical expectations of roles – i.e. acquisition is hyper-focused on improving customer retention and experience.

We Are Focused and Work Without Assumption: We are not beholden to ideas. We have goals and believe everything beyond that is a series of hypotheses to validate. To that end, we seek to work in sequence and not in parallel. We constantly ask ourselves, “what’s the most important hypothesis I should be working on right now? How do I confirm or reject that hypothesis as fast as possible?”. We rarely have timelines/deadlines and are constantly taking in new information and adjusting our priorities accordingly. We don’t expect to be perfect the first time.

How You'll Make An Impact

• Serve as the primary finance business partner for the Innovation and Product Development function, building trusted relationships with senior leaders and becoming a go-to thought partner on the financial implications of innovation decisions.
• Own the end-to-end financial analysis for the stage gate process – from early-stage opportunity sizing and concept evaluation through to launch-ready pro-forma P&Ls, payback analyses, and margin estimates that inform executive decisions.
• Develop,maintain and improve financial frameworks for evaluating new products across channels, adapting models as the business expands into new formats and go-to-market strategies.
• Present financial analysis and recommendations in monthly stage gate meetings with senior leadership, proactively surfacing risks, challenging assumptions, and providing strategic guidance to help prioritize the innovation portfolio.
• Own the Innovation and Product Development operating expense and capital expenditure budgets, partnering with budget owners on forecasting, variance analysis, and identifying opportunities for efficiency.
• Support competitive pricing analysis and provide cost-informed perspectives on pricing strategy for new and existing products in partnership with the broader finance team.
• Contribute to monthly business reviews, forecasting cycles, and long-range planning by providing the innovation and product development perspective on new product contributions, margin trajectories, and research spend.
• Drive continuous improvement in financial processes and tools related to the innovation pipeline, building scalable frameworks that can support a growing and increasingly complex product portfolio.
• Conduct ad-hoc strategic analyses as needed to inform leadership decisions on product strategy, capital allocation, and portfolio prioritization.

We're Excited About You Because

• You have 7+ years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or finance business partnering, ideally within a high-growth consumer, CPG, or food/beverage company.
• You have experience partnering with product development, innovation, or R&D teams and understand the financial dynamics of bringing new products from concept to market (preferred).
• You're a strong model builder who thrives in ambiguity – comfortable creating financial frameworks from scratch when there's no template to follow, and exercising independent judgment on methodology and assumptions.
• You bring a strategic mindset paired with attention to detail – you can step back to evaluate portfolio-level trade-offs while also diving deep into the cost structure of an individual product.
• You're a confident communicator who can distill complex financial analysis into clear, actionable recommendations for senior leadership and cross-functional partners.
• You're proactive and opinionated in a productive way – you don't wait to be asked, you surface risks early, challenge ideas constructively, and advocate for the right outcome for TFD.
• You have a strong grasp of operations and supply chain dynamics and understand how formulation, procurement, and manufacturing decisions flow through to the P&L.
• You're a strong executor who can manage multiple concurrent projects with competing timelines, balancing thoroughness with speed.
• You build strong cross-functional relationships and can effectively facilitate alignment across groups with different priorities and perspectives.
• You’re proficient in Excel/Google Sheets with strong financial modeling skills, and have a mindset of continuously improving processes and proactively identifying opportunities to automate and increase efficiency. Familiarity with Looker and/or Sigma is preferred, along with experience with systems like Workday.
• You love dogs.

Office Guidelines

We are an in-office culture, made of in-office people who thrive on the collaboration and magnetism of working in a shared space. We are seeking individuals who excel in this type of environment, where being present fosters deeper connections and engagement.

Our Belonging Philosophy:

At TFD, we believe Belonging is a shared commitment to creating a workplace where every person feels respected, valued, and empowered to be themselves. When people feel a true sense of belonging, they do their best work, take smart risks, and bring forward diverse perspectives — leading to stronger decisions and deeper relationships.

We anchor this belief in a simple phrase: “Everyone’s welcome at the dog park.” No matter your background, identity, or role, there’s space for you here. There’s no one way to show up at the dog park— just shared space, mutual respect, and the freedom to be yourself. Being included is just the beginning, it’s about contributing your voice, growing through challenges, and building trust through shared goals. This philosophy guides how we lead, how we hire, how we communicate, and how we grow.
                    
We continuously evaluate to ensure we are creating a consistent experience that cultivates belonging for all employees, from hiring and performance reviews to talent development. We also believe Belonging happens in everyday moments of connection; lunch with a new teammate, a shared laugh, or a quick story about your weekend. Our structure includes biannual employee surveys, manager training, TFD camps, and support from Humans to ensure we’re listening and learning from our Team.

Together, these efforts reflect what Belonging means at TFD: a culture where everyone can thrive.
