How to Apply for Senior Food Scientist

at EVERY™

🏢 About EVERY™

EVERY™ is a food technology company focused on creating animal-free egg proteins through precision fermentation, positioning itself at the forefront of sustainable food innovation. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge solutions that replace traditional animal agriculture, appealing to mission-driven professionals who want to impact the future of food.

About This Role

This Senior Food Scientist role specifically owns the bakery category strategy, requiring you to develop and optimize product portfolios that replace egg white in baked goods and confections. You'll bridge technical R&D with commercial applications by creating 'sell-in ready' recommendations and directly supporting customers with formulations, making this role critical for scaling EVERY's market adoption.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start by analyzing bakery formulation data, then meet with the sales team to discuss customer needs, followed by lab time testing new applications for EVERY's ingredients. Later, you could prepare technical presentations for a potential bakery partner and refine portfolio recommendations based on market feedback.

🎯 Who EVERY™ Is Looking For

  • Holds an MS or PhD in Food Science (not just chemistry) with 5+ years in CPG or ingredient R&D, specifically in bakery/confectionery applications
  • Has hands-on experience developing egg replacement systems or similar functional ingredient solutions in baked goods
  • Demonstrates proven ability to translate technical data into commercial recommendations and present to B2B customers
  • Combines laboratory expertise (spec writing, process development) with strategic portfolio management in food categories

📝 Tips for Applying to EVERY™

1

Quantify your bakery/confectionery experience—mention specific products you've developed, egg replacement projects, or formulation challenges solved

2

Highlight any experience with precision fermentation ingredients or similar novel food technologies in your resume

3

Prepare a portfolio example showing how you've created 'sell-in ready' technical materials for customers (even if redacted)

4

Research EVERY's current bakery partners or products and suggest specific application opportunities in your cover letter

5

Emphasize both your hands-on lab skills AND customer-facing experience—this role requires balancing technical depth with commercial acumen

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

["Your specific experience with egg functionality in bakery systems and how you've addressed replacement challenges", 'Examples of translating technical data into commercial recommendations for customers (B2B ingredient experience preferred)', "How your background aligns with EVERY's mission of animal-free protein and sustainable food innovation", 'A strategic idea for expanding their bakery portfolio based on your category knowledge']
