About Javvy Coffee Company

At Javvy, we’re building the future of coffee — guilt-free, wellness-driven, and made for modern life. We help people ditch the junk, skip the lines, and create indulgent café-style coffee at home — better for you, better for your day. Javvy is reimagining coffee through clean ingredients, functional nutrition, and convenience without compromise. We’ve grown from a cult-favorite DTC brand to a fast-scaling omnichannel business, expanding into major retail while building a passionate community of modern coffee lovers.


The Opportunity:

You will own product formulation and innovation end-to-end. This is a hands-on, build-it role — not just managing vendors. You will lead the next generation of functional coffee innovation at Javvy.

What You’ll Own:

  • Formulate and optimize protein coffee, creamers, matcha, and functional beverages
  • Master protein systems (whey, MPI, plant), prebiotics, MCTs, sweeteners, and emulsifiers
  • Elevate flavor systems — dessert-inspired, indulgent, competitive with café beverages
  • Continuously refine texture, mouthfeel, mixability, and stability
  • Translate consumer feedback into rapid product iteration
  • Improve COGS without compromising product experience
  • Lead co-manufacturers and flavor houses with authority
  • Build a scalable innovation pipeline for retail expansion

You’re a Fit If…

  • Background in Food Science, Food Chemistry, or Sports Nutrition
  • Deep understanding of protein markets and functional ingredients
  • Strong experience working with flavor houses and building custom systems
  • Equally comfortable discussing PDCAAS and dessert flavor notes
  • Obsessed with taste, texture, and repeat purchase behavior
  • Consumer-obsessed — you study reviews like game tape
  • Move fast. Test fast. Iterate fast.
  • High standards. Zero tolerance for 'good enough'
  • Bring expertise + obsession — not one or the other


What Success Looks Like:

  • Javvy has the best-tasting functional coffee in the category
  • Faster innovation cycles and stronger flavor differentiation
  • Margin-aware formulations built for scale
  • A clear 2–3 year product roadmap
  • A culture of product excellence across the organization

Why This Role Rocks:

  • Competitive Salary 
  • 100% Company-Paid Health, Dental, Vision & Life Insurance for employees
    (Family coverage available at employee cost)
  • 401(k) Retirement Plan
  • Parental Leave
  • Free Access to Javvy Products
  • Career Growth Opportunities
  • Collaborative, Fast-Paced Start-Up Environment
