As a Senior Research Chemist at BOREUM, you will play a crucial role in leading the development of the amino acid-based ingredient platform, particularly focusing on personal care applications. Your responsibilities will include:

• **Platform Development**:
• Develop amino acid derivatives such as PCA salts (Zn, Na, Mg, Cu), Amino surfactants (e.g., glutamates), and Functional actives and intermediates.
• Build scalable synthesis pathways from core amino acids.
• **Process & Scale-Up**:
• Translate lab processes into pilot and production scale.
• Optimize Yield, Reaction conditions, Solvent systems, and Purification methods.
• Work closely with manufacturing teams for scale execution.
• **Cost & Commercial Optimization**:
• Drive cost-efficient production models.
• Evaluate raw materials, process efficiency, and scalability.
• Support pricing and margin strategy through technical inputs.
• **Formulation Compatibility**:
• Ensure ingredient stability and performance in cosmetic systems.
• Collaborate with formulation teams to validate pH compatibility, stability, and sensory performance.
• **Portfolio Strategy**:
• Identify high-potential SKUs within amino acid chemistry.
• Prioritize products based on scalability and market demand.
• Contribute to the long-term platform expansion.

Qualifications required for this role include:

• M.Sc / PhD in Organic Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, or Biochemistry.
• 510 years of hands-on R&D experience.
• Strong background in Amino acid chemistry / derivatives, Surfactants or personal care ingredients, and Process chemistry and scale-up.

Preferred experience includes:

• Experience with PCA derivatives, glutamates, or peptide chemistry.
• Familiarity with Fermentation-based actives (e.g., PGA, amino fermentation).
• Prior work in specialty chemical or personal care ingredient companies.

BOREUM offers you the opportunity to:

• Build a multi-product ingredient platform from scratch.
• Work across chemistry, formulation, and scale.
• Have a direct impact on both B2B ingredient business and consumer brands.
• Be part of a high-growth, science-led company.
