The result: new materials go from molecule to commercial scale in months, not years. Scimplify operates offices and teams across 5 countries with 1,000+ innovator customers in 40+ countries.\nWe are backed by investors such as Accel, Bertelsmann, Omnivore, Hitachi Ventures and 3one4 Capital, having raised over $80M.\nAbout the role\nBuild Scimplify’s application capability from the beginning. This is a hands-on role for a strong skincare/suncare\nformulator who can translate ingredient performance into practical customer solutions. With the business\nleader’s support, you will establish the lab, shape its working methods and build a small technical team as the\nfunction develops.\nWhat you will own\nDevelop the lab setup plan with the business leader, covering layout, equipment priorities, vendor evaluation, commissioning and working procedures. Target an operational lab within 3-6 months of joining.\nCreate and document relevant prototype formulations using the initial Rehology modifiers, suncare and Active portfolio, and demonstrate ingredient performance against customer requirements.\nPlan formulation, rheology and stability studies; interpret results and investigate issues such as viscosity change, pH drift, phase separation and ingredient compatibility.\nEstablish repeatable test methods, sample traceability, instrument checks, equipment care and clear reporting practices appropriate to the application lab.\nWork directly with customer R&D teams to understand problems, design trials and explain findings. Support distributor training, technical presentations and international customer visits.\nHelp recruit, train and mentor technical colleagues as team positions are approved, while continuing to contribute at the laboratory bench.\nPrioritise customer projects with the sales managers and business leader, and develop wider application knowledge across Home Care and Aroma as the portfolio expands.\nWhat you bring\nStrong practical skincare and suncare formulation experience, including ingredient selection, mixing processes, troubleshooting and interpretation of stability results.\nTypically 8-12 years of relevant formulation or application experience, supported by a qualification in cosmetic science, chemistry, pharmacy, chemical engineering or a related discipline.\nPractical familiarity with mixing/homogenisation equipment, pH measurement, viscosity/rheology testing and controlled stability studies. You can explain equipment selection, operating conditions and measurement limitations.\nClear communication with customer technical teams and the ability to convert experimental findings into useful application guidance.\nReadiness to build a lab and mentor colleagues. Previous lab-setup or team-management experience is useful; strong formulators taking their first leadership role will also be considered.\nEarly priorities and success measures\nEstablish the lab plan and instrument priorities, begin the first formulation and test protocols, and create a customer-project register. By months 3-6, the lab should support formulation, rheology and stability work, with a documented prototype library and a repeatable process for troubleshooting. Initial capability centres on these activities; specialist efficacy work can be coordinated externally when required.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3744,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Chemical Manufacturing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T09:25:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":33978,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/scimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/scimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T17:30:18Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":24838,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3782862},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3782862"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fscimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fscimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fscimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/scimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fscimplify-global-applications-and-formulation-lead"}]}
