Full-time · Remote (France/EU) or Hybrid · Reports to the CEO About üma "87% of mid-life women feel overlooked by society and by brands." GenM, The Invisibility Report We are building the company that ends that invisibility. Laboratoires üma is the French brand redefining women's midlife health. The women we serve tell us the same thing, almost word for word: "I don't recognize myself anymore." Menopause will touch every woman, yet it remains one of the most underserved spaces in consumer health. We exist to change that, with science-backed, hormone-free supplements that help women understand their bodies and feel like themselves again. We are clinically driven: our formulas are backed by real research, including our own clinical study, and developed with rigorous quality and regulatory standards. More than 100,000 women trust üma. We are profitable, growing fast, and expanding across Europe, direct-to-consumer first, with a growing pharmacy footprint. At üma, the ambition isn't ours: it comes from the millions of women concerned, and the taboos still left to break. Our answer is to grow fast without growing heavy: a small, senior team, real territory for everyone, talent density over headcount, AI as a default. Work here is judged by what it changes, for the business and for the women we serve. We don't sell just any product, and we don't build it with just anyone: mission-fit matters as much as talent. If it's comfort you're after, there are better places. If it's usefulness, welcome. The Opportunity A capsule weighs less than a gram. Inside it is everything we stand for: actives chosen for a reason, dosed at levels that make sense, manufactured to strict standards, and a promise that holds up in a dossier, not just in a slogan. Our customer has tried everything. She's been sold everything. What she deserves isn't one more promise: it's a product that does what it says, and a brand that can prove it. That's the job. We're hiring our first Head of Product to own the full lifecycle of our physical products: the roadmap, the formulation, the regulatory, the quality, the proof. Today, this role sits with the CEO. Tomorrow, it's yours: you take over a portfolio that has proven itself and build the next generations of products, from customer insight to the first order delivered. Women's midlife health doesn't stop at hot flashes: sleep, intimacy, mental clarity, skin. The territory is vast, almost nobody works it seriously, and we intend to cover it category by category. In your first 6 to 12 months, success means: taking over the existing portfolio and its compliance without dropping a thing, structuring the roadmap for the next categories with explicit decision criteria, running one launch end to end, from validated formula to product on sale, and strengthening the base of proof our credibility rests on, clinical work included. Who You'll Work With You report directly to the CEO, who hands the portfolio over to you in person. Day to day, you'll work with: • Our manufacturing partners and their scientific teams: briefs, trials, controls, timelines., • The scientific and medical experts around us, for clinical proof and credibility., • Our Head of B2B & Retail: pharmacy has requirements of its own, and you build products that hold up to them., • Our Art Director, for packaging: what the formula promises, the object must deliver in the hand., • Our Creative Strategist and Head of Growth: the product promise translated into compliant messaging, no shortcuts., • Our Retention & LTV Lead: adherence and customer feedback feed your reformulations and your roadmap. You're joining early: the team is being built now, and you'll help shape the hires around you. What You'll Own • The product roadmap: the next categories, in the right order, for the right reasons. Every launch is decided on explicit criteria: customer need, available science, commercial potential, regulatory feasibility., • Formulation: the work with our manufacturing partners and their scientific teams. The choice of actives, dosages, and galenic forms, at a level of rigor that can be defended line by line., • Regulatory: claims, notifications, and compliance in every European market where we sell. Here, regulatory isn't a brake at the end of the chain: it's in the room from day one., • Quality: specifications, controls, traceability. What goes into our customers' bodies tolerates no approximation., • Proof: the studies, the tests, the scientific documentation behind every promise. Our credibility with customers, health professionals, and pharmacies rests on it., • Launch: coordination with brand, creative, and operations so every new product arrives complete: formula, dossier, story, proof. What You'll Do • Arbitrate the roadmap: what we launch, what we reformulate, what we drop, and why., • Drive ongoing developments with our manufacturing partners: briefs, trials, adjustments, timelines., • Read the science: publications on actives, opinions from European authorities, what's moving in menopause research., • Build and defend the claims dossiers: what we can say, what we can't, and how to say it precisely., • Listen to the customer: reviews, questions to customer care, verbatims. The best products start from an expressed need, not a trend., • Track quality: analyses, certificates, non-conformities followed through to the end., • Advance the proof: test protocols, consumer studies, and the work with the scientific and medical experts around us., • Report the roadmap and its trade-offs to the CEO, dossiers in hand. Required Experience & Skills • 6+ years in product development in supplements, nutraceuticals, or consumer health, including several launches run end to end., • European supplement regulation holds no secrets for you: authorized claims, dossiers, notifications, labelling, and how they vary from one market to the next., • You know how to work with contract manufacturers and active-ingredient suppliers: specifications, trials, negotiation, control. They respect you because you know their craft., • You read a scientific study in the original: the method, the dosages, the limits. A trendy active without serious data doesn't get past your door., • Documentary rigor: every product decision leaves a written trace that holds up, all the way to a control authority., • A sense for the finished product: galenics, taste, texture, adherence. A product that's right on paper but a chore to take is a failed product., • Trade-offs come naturally to you: you know how to say no to a good idea to protect a better priority., • AI already accelerates your work: scientific watch, regulatory analysis, documentation., • Fluent French and English. Preferred Qualifications • Women's health or menopause: you know the actives in the space, their data, and their limits., • Clinical study experience: protocol, CRO, publication., • Skincare alongside supplements: our customers don't separate the two., • Product development for pharmacy: its requirements, its stakeholders., • Launches run across multiple European markets. What We Offer • A rare setup: profitable company, proven product-market fit, a category with massive tailwinds, and a product roadmap that's yours to build. You take the portfolio over from the CEO: few product roles offer that level of trust from day one. Direct line to the CEO and real weight in company-level decisions., • Competitive package: aligned with your experience and your impact., • A culture of autonomy & accountability: senior people, high trust, full ownership of your scope. No micro-management., • A menopause- and women's-health-friendly workplace: we build for women's health, and we practice it internally., • Remote from day one: full-time, remote (France/EU) or hybrid, with the freedom to work from wherever you do your best work. We care about output, not presence., • Flexible working hours: you own your schedule the way you own your results., • All the equipment you need: a top-tier setup so nothing slows you down., • Two company retreats a year, plus at least one full-team day every month: remote day to day, together when it counts., • Free üma products: for you and the women in your life: mothers, partners, sisters., • €500/year self-care & growth budget: gym, dance class, books, courses: whatever makes you feel great and makes you grow., • Great health coverage: for EU-based team members. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every qualification listed above. Skills are built in many ways, and we'd rather meet you than miss you. All our roles are open to people with disabilities.
