About Carpe

Carpe is the fastest-growing deodorant brand in the United States. Our team is composed of ~25 incredibly smart people working together in person in downtown Durham, NC. Our office is open, collaborative, and high energy.

We build products that solve real problems for millions of people who struggle with excessive sweating. Our growth over the past several years has been rapid, and we are continuing to expand across retail, ecommerce, and new product categories.

As the company scales, building a strong, reliable, and scalable manufacturing foundation is critical to our long-term success.

The Role

We are seeking a high-ownership manufacturing leader with a strong chemical engineering or process engineering background who thrives in complex, fast-growing environments and enjoys building systems that support scale.

This role exists to build and lead Carpe’s contract manufacturing and process engineering capability as the company rapidly expands production across multiple product categories and retail partners.

While this role carries meaningful strategic responsibility, it is also deeply operational and hands-on. You will work directly with contract manufacturers to strengthen processes, improve manufacturing performance, and ensure Carpe products are produced consistently and reliably at scale.

This is a build-and-own role, not a delegation role. You will engage directly with the technical teams at contract manufacturing partners, travel up to 50% as needed, and work hands-on to improve processes, troubleshoot manufacturing challenges, and scale production.

You will partner closely with Product Development, Operations, Quality, and Supply Chain to translate product innovation into robust, scalable manufacturing processes.

●     Improve process robustness and repeatability across manufacturing partners

●     Troubleshoot complex manufacturing challenges and support manufacturing teams in solving production issues

●     Drive continuous improvement initiatives across manufacturing operations

Technology Transfer & Product Scale-Up

●     Lead the technical transfer of new products from development into commercial manufacturing

●     Work directly with contract manufacturers to scale formulations and processes successfully

●     Partner closely with Product Development to translate product specifications into scalable manufacturing processes

●     Oversee pilot trials, validation runs, and commercialization readiness for new product launches

●     Ensure new products are successfully and reliably launched across manufacturing partners

Manufacturing Performance & Continuous Improvement

●     Establish operational metrics and performance tracking across contract manufacturing partners

●     Improve manufacturing efficiency, yield, and process reliability

●     Lead root cause investigations and corrective actions related to manufacturing issues

●     Implement stronger process control and operational discipline across manufacturing partners

●     Develop scalable manufacturing frameworks that support continued company growth

Cross-Functional Collaboration

●     Partner closely with Product Development to ensure manufacturing processes support product performance requirements

●     Collaborate with Quality and Regulatory to ensure manufacturing processes meet compliance and quality standards

●     Work with supply chain and planning teams to support production scheduling and inventory needs

●     Provide manufacturing insight during product development and innovation planning

Who You Are

●     Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical discipline
