Original job description

Director of Product Development

Groundswell Food Group, Inc. (DBA Mitsoh)

Location: Onsite - Leduc, Alberta manufacturing facility

Reports to: Chief Executive Officer

About Mitsoh

Mitsoh is building a new generation of clean-protein foods rooted in tradition and made for modern lifestyles. Our products are crafted with a focus on high-quality ingredients, nutritional integrity, and responsible sourcing. As a rapidly growing CPG food company, we operate with world-class manufacturing and food safety standards aligned with GFSI-recognized programs.

We are seeking a hands-on, technically rigorous Director of Product Development to build our product pipeline - from new formulations and validated processes to compliant labels - as Mitsoh scales across Canada and into the United States.

Position Overview

The Director of Product Development is responsible for Mitsoh’s product pipeline from concept to commercial production: formulating and validating new ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products and line extensions, scaling them into the Leduc facility, and ensuring every product meets Canadian and U.S. regulatory, labeling, and food safety requirements before it ships.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, this role is solo to start and builds Mitsoh’s product development function from the ground up. The Director partners closely with Operations, Quality Assurance, Sales and Marketing, and Finance, and works directly with the production team on the plant floor during trials and first runs.

Key Responsibilities

Product Innovation & Formulation

Own Mitsoh's product development pipeline from concept to approved formula, translating consumer, customer, and channel insights into RTE meat products that fit our clean-protein positioning

Lead bench and pilot development of new SKUs, line extensions, and reformulations across pemmican, meat sticks, and future clean-protein platforms

Build formulations on high-quality, clean-label ingredient systems that balance nutritional integrity, sensory quality, shelf life, and cost targets

Design and run sensory evaluations and product testing, and document results and decisions through a disciplined stage-gate process

Commercialization & Scale-Up

Lead the transition of new products from pilot to full-scale production at the Leduc facility, including process parameter development, plant trials, and first production runs

Build the complete technical package for every launch: formula, bill of materials, process specifications, critical limits, and finished product specifications

Drive line trials with Production and Maintenance across smoking, cooking, drying, slicing, and packaging, resolving yield, throughput, and quality issues before launch

Set yield targets and standard formulation costs with Operations and Finance so that every new product is commercially viable at scale

Validation & Food Safety Science

Own validation of new products and processes to GFSI-aligned and HACCP requirements, including lethality, stabilization, water activity, pH, and post-lethality controls for RTE meat

Lead shelf-life, challenge, and accelerated stability studies with accredited laboratories, and maintain the scientific support behind every critical limit

Partner with Quality Assurance to update HACCP plans, allergen assessments, and hold and quarantine criteria whenever a new product, ingredient, or process is introduced

Serve as the internal technical authority on product and process validation during CFIA, USDA FSIS, GFSI, and customer audits

Regulatory Compliance & Labeling

Own product regulatory compliance in Canada and the United States, including SFCR and CFIA requirements and USDA FSIS requirements for export-eligible production and U.S. market entry

Lead nutrition analysis, ingredient declarations, allergen statements, and label claims, ensuring every label is substantiated, compliant, and approved before artwork is released

Build the regulatory roadmap for U.S. market entry, including label compliance, formulation and ingredient eligibility, and the documentation required for export certification

Monitor regulatory and labeling changes in both markets and drive product, label, and documentation updates ahead of effective dates

Specifications & Technical Documentation

Own the master formulation and specification library - raw material, finished product, and process specifications and allergen matrices - under controlled document management

Build a formal change-control process so that every formula, ingredient, supplier, or process change is assessed for food safety, regulatory, labeling, and cost impact before approval

Maintain product documentation to GFSI audit standards so that specifications, validations, and formulation records are complete, current, and audit-ready

Produce technical product information for customers, distributors, and retailer onboarding, including specification sheets, nutritional data, and product data forms

Cross-Functional Leadership

Partner with Sales and Marketing to translate retail, club, distributor, and DTC customer requirements into product briefs, development timelines, and launch-ready specifications

Work with Supply Chain to qualify ingredient suppliers and approve raw material specifications, and with Finance to confirm product costs and margins before launch

Represent Mitsoh with co-manufacturers, ingredient suppliers, laboratories, and regulators on technical and product matters

Build the product development function as Mitsoh grows - tools, processes, and eventually team - and coach production and quality staff on new products and processes

Qualifications

5+ years of progressive product development experience in the food industry, including direct, hands-on formulation and commercialization of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products; RTE meat experience is essential for this role

Bachelor’s degree in Food Science, Meat Science, Microbiology, Food Engineering, or a related discipline is required; a graduate degree is an asset

Working knowledge of RTE meat processing - smoking, cooking, drying, curing, slicing, and packaging - and the food safety science behind it, including lethality, stabilization, water activity, pH, and post-lethality controls

Demonstrated success taking products from bench to full-scale production in a GFSI-certified facility, including plant trials, process parameter development, and HACCP plan updates

Strong command of Canadian food regulations, including SFCR and CFIA labeling and nutrition requirements; U.S. labeling and USDA FSIS experience is a strong asset

Experience designing and interpreting shelf-life, challenge, and microbiological studies with third-party laboratories

Disciplined documentation habits - specifications, formulations, validation records, and change control that stand up to customer and regulatory audits

Proficiency with nutrition analysis and formulation software, spreadsheets, and ERP or product lifecycle management systems

Collaborative, hands-on operator who is comfortable on the plant floor, communicates clearly with production crews and executives alike, and thrives in a lean, fast-moving growth environment

Core Competencies

RTE Meat Product Expertise

Formulation & Sensory Science

Validation & Food Safety Rigor

Regulatory & Labeling Acumen

Commercialization Discipline

Technical Documentation

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Hands-On Ownership

Additional Information

This is a full-time, onsite role based at Mitsoh’s manufacturing facility in Leduc, Alberta, with daily presence on the production floor during trials and launches. Occasional travel to co-manufacturers, suppliers, laboratories, customers, and industry events in Canada and the United States is expected.

What We’re Looking For

Mitsoh is looking for a builder - a product developer who has formulated and launched RTE meat products, understands the science and the regulations that make them safe and compliant, and wants to own the pipeline that carries a modern food company into its next stage of growth. If you are energized by taking a product from a bench idea to a retail shelf in two countries, and by establishing the systems a growing company will rely on for years, we want to hear from you.
