Are you ready to lead impactful projects in a dynamic and innovative environment? Fertin Pharma, part of Aspeya, is a global leader in the development and production of innovative oral and intra-oral delivery technologies, developed over 100+ years.
These technologies provide extensive opportunities for diversification in both the pharma and consumer health space; in areas such as oral care, vitamins, immunity, energy and gastrointestinal remedies.
About your role
You'll play a key role in bringing new products to life — from early formulation through to pilot and production. Working across powders, gums, tablets, and chewables, you’ll combine scientific rigour with creativity to deliver products that perform well and delight consumers.
What you’ll do:
Develop and refine formulations for solid dosage products, from concept through to scale-up
Plan and execute NPD projects, ensuring timelines, quality, and deliverables are met
Evaluate and improve products using sensory testing and feedback to enhance taste, texture, and overall experience
Collaborate with suppliers (flavour houses and ingredient partners) to develop and source the right components
Work closely with production teams to support trials, scale-up, and manufacturing readiness
Ensure quality documentation — writing clear protocols, reports, batch records, and SOPs
Maintain accurate data and records across formulation systems and project workbooks
Support packaging and stability testing to ensure product integrity
Operate and maintain lab and pilot equipment to support development work
Partner cross-functionally with R&D, Procurement, and Operations to deliver projects end-to-end
About you
You’re a hands-on formulation specialist who enjoys combining science, creativity, and problem-solving. You’re comfortable working across the full development lifecycle and collaborating closely with different teams to bring products to market.
What you bring:
Experience in formulation development, ideally across solid dosage formats (e.g. powders, tablets, gums, chewables)
Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and scale-up considerations
Ability to design and execute experiments and interpret development data
Experience writing clear technical documentation (protocols, reports, SOPs)
Comfortable using ERP or formulation systems to manage data
Strong collaboration skills, with the ability to work across R&D, Operations, and suppliers
Detail-oriented with a structured, organised approach
Practical and hands-on in the lab and pilot environment
Clear communicator who can work effectively across teams
Proactive, with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
Join us and bring new ideas to life — developing products that deliver real impact for consumers and the business.
