Supply Chain & Quality Management

  • Provide scientific insights and technical support across internal and external stakeholders.
  • Business Strategy & Insights

  • Leverage consumer insights, market data, and UX research to shape product roadmaps.
  • Monitor performance, identify optimization opportunities, and enhance product efficacy and retention.
  • Contribute to long-term innovation and brand growth strategies.
