Job Description

Since experience comes in many forms, and imposter syndrome is real, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t think you check every box. Many skills are transferable and passion goes a long way. We know that diversity of thought makes for the best problem-solving and creative thinking, which is why we’re dedicated to adding new perspectives to the team.

About Us

As consumers continue to demand greater transparency and accountability for the products they use, sustainability is no longer optional. That’s why we’ve built a technology-forward, data-driven network solution that empowers clean brands and manufacturers. Novi is the first to provide our thousands of users with the data, tools, and marketplace they need to procure materials and build the clean and transparent products that their customers are demanding.  And while our roots are in the wellness and personal care category, we anticipate serving a much broader set of markets, including food, household cleaning, and more. 

The opportunity in front of us is vast (a $1.5T market), our mission is urgent, and we’re well-funded by top-tier VC firms (Defy, Greylock, and Tiger Global) making the investments required to achieve it. We’re looking for talented people passionate about sustainability to join us in building the future of consumer product development. If that’s you, let’s talk!

What We're Looking For

Novi is building a data platform to help brands understand their products and ingredients and a marketplace to help brands and manufacturers purchase transparent ingredients from suppliers. This industry we're tackling is fragmented and complicated, so we are looking for someone who is excited by the challenge of turning complex and ambiguous user needs into simple, elegant, and robust products. This is a high-impact role - we're a small, early-stage company and an even smaller Product team - so you'll be working closely with the Leadership team and an integral part of the entire development process, from research to production. We are looking for someone who loves the early stages of building a company and is excited about fundamentally changing the way this industry works today.
