Sr. Nutrition Scientist, Commercial Scientific Affairs

New York, New York, United States

ByHeart is an infant nutrition company built from the ground up to deliver real innovation on behalf of babies and parents. Our mission is simple: make the best formula in the world. That’s why we studied the latest breast milk science, worked directly with suppliers we know and trust, set uncompromising quality standards, developed our own small batch blending process, built our own manufacturing facilities, and conducted a groundbreaking clinical trial. Our goal is to create a future where all parents feel amazing about feeding their baby—no matter how they do it.

When we launched our Whole Nutrition Infant Formula in 2023, we were the first new US infant formula manufacturer in 15 years. Since then, we’ve been leading the way in a lot of ways. 

We’re…

  • The first and only US-made* infant formula made with organic, grass-fed whole milk, not skim.
  • The first and only U.S. infant formula company to add the two most abundant proteins found in breast milk—alpha-lac and lactoferrin—to our ingredients list.
  • The first infant formula company to receive Clean Label Project’s Purity Award (and we test for 700 contaminants vs the required 400).
  • We ran one of the largest clinical trials in the US in 25 years.
  • Our clinically proven benefits include:
    • Less spit up**
    • Softer poops**
    • Easier digestion
    • More efficient weight gain

*Made with globally sourced ingredients.

**Vs a leading infant formula

As the only new entrant to establish three US manufacturing facilities (in Pennsylvania, Iowa, and Oregon), ByHeart has the capacity to meaningfully capture share of the US $6B infant formula market. With >$470M in funding, we’re shifting the industry forward—and this is just the beginning. Help us build a future where all parents can feel amazing about feeding, by joining our growing team of >360 people that stretches across the country.

We're proud to offer competitive, family-first benefits, including but not limited to: 

  • Health insurance for the whole family: medical, dental, & vision insurance covered 100%, with 90% coverage for your family.
  • Flexible paid time off: plus 12+ company holidays, and your kid’s birthday off!

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
