Company Description
Mitra Bio is a skin longevity platform powered by a patented skin epigenetic test. We measure your skin biology and then personalize interventions including skincare and lifestyle that will work to slow biological aging. We are the only company in the world that can read skin DNA methylation non-invasively, which is patented and published in Nature and the British Journal of Dermatology.
We are now developing a range of topical skincare products targeting epigenetic biomarkers to help slow the aging process.
We are looking for a Skincare Product Development Lead to develop biotech-inspired formulations that target the root causes of skin aging using active ingredients identified by our platform.
Role description
We’re looking for a full-time Skincare Product Development Lead to help build and launch personalised, science-led skincare products from the ground up.
We’re looking for someone highly hands-on, commercially aware, scientifically curious, and excited by the opportunity to build something category-defining at the intersection of skincare, longevity, biotechnology, and consumer health.
You’ll work closely with scientific founders, R&D, tech, formulators, manufacturers, packaging partners, and external vendors to take products from concept through launch. One day you may be iterating on formulations and ingredient strategies; the next, coordinating packaging compatibility testing, managing manufacturing timelines, navigating regulatory requirements, or helping translate complex science into compelling consumer-facing storytelling.
We’re especially excited by people who thrive in ambiguity, move quickly, enjoy ownership, and know how to balance scientific credibility with exceptional consumer experience.
What you will own
- Leading skincare product development from concept through commercial launch
- Driving formulation development, ingredient sourcing, and prototype iteration
- Managing relationships with formulators, manufacturers, packaging suppliers, testing partners, and 3PLs
- Coordinating product testing, regulatory workflows, and technical documentation
- Leading packaging development and compatibility testing
- Translating scientific concepts into consumer-facing product narratives, packaging copy, and marketing support
- Supporting claim substantiation and regulatory readiness for international market expansion, including the US
What we’re looking for
- Experience in skincare, cosmetics, personal care, or CPG product development
- Direct experience launching consumer skincare products end-to-end
- Strong understanding of skincare ingredients, actives, formulation principles, and product testing
- Experience working with external manufacturing and supply chain partners
- Strong project and operational management capabilities
- Comfort operating in fast-moving startup environments where priorities evolve quickly
- Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally across science, product, operations, and brand teams
- High ownership mentality and bias toward execution
We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with experience in personalised skincare, longevity, biotech-adjacent, or science-led beauty brands.
Experience working in startup or early-stage environments is highly valued.
Why join us
- Opportunity to help shape a next-generation skincare brand from the ground up
- Work at the intersection of epigenetics, longevity science, AI, and consumer skincare
- High ownership and direct impact on product direction and launch strategy
- Collaborative, ambitious team of scientists, engineers, and operators building something genuinely differentiated
- Fast-moving environment with minimal bureaucracy and strong execution culture
- Backing from world-class investors and experienced founders
- Opportunity to help define both the product roadmap and operational foundations of an emerging category leader
