Job description
About the Role
Osmo is seeking a Compounder to accurately measure, weigh, and mix raw materials and essential oils according to formulas and batch sheets in our sample lab. This is a craft, not just a process: precision, real understanding of raw material characteristics, and developing sensory judgment are what separate a successful sample lab compounder from someone just following steps.
What You'll Do:
Fragrance Compounding — Accurately measure, weigh, and mix raw materials and essential oils according to formulas and batch sheets
Verify Materials & Formulas — Check materials against specifications and batch sheets before use, and flag discrepancies before they become a downstream problem
Equipment Operation & Maintenance — Operate and clean mixing tanks, scales, pumps, and other production equipment while following SOPs
Safety & Compliance — Follow all company safety protocols, including hazardous material handling and PPE
Inventory Management — Assist in monitoring raw material stock levels using Osmo's inventory system, and notify supervisors of shortages
Collaboration — Work closely with quality control and production teams to ensure consistency and efficiency
Who You Are:
2-5 years of hands-on sample lab compounding experience within fragrance or flavor manufacturing
Extreme attention to detail and accuracy measuring, weighing, and blending raw materials
Able to follow written formulas and instructions precisely
Strong organizational and multitasking skills
Able to work in a fast-paced production environment
Able to lift 25 lbs
Ways to Stand Out:
Understand the order of addition for certain raw materials and the reasons behind it
Ability to distinguish fragrance notes
Prior experience with inventory or production tracking systems, or material-handling equipment certification (e.g. forklift)
What We Offer:
Catered Lunch — Mon/Wed/Fri; Newark, NJ and Brooklyn shuttles
401(k) savings plan and employer match
Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth company
Flexible PTO and paid family leave
Commuter benefits (pre-tax transit and parking)
