Role Description
We are looking for an R&D Specialist to join our team in Halen, Belgium. This is a full-time, on-site position offering the opportunity to contribute to both new product development and the continuous improvement of existing formulations.
The role focuses on formulation development, technical evaluation and project coordination, with limited hands-on laboratory work.
Key responsibilities
include coordinating and evaluating stability and compatibility studies, assessing ingredients and raw materials, maintaining technical product documentation, QMS and supporting the transfer of new or improved formulations into production. The R&D Specialist will work closely with production, quality and external partners to address technical challenges, evaluate results and ensure that development projects progress efficiently. Depending on the candidate's experience and expertise, the role may gradually expand to include broader responsibilities in quality management, product approval, regulatory compliance and R&D coordination. Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Chemistry, Cosmetic Science, Pharmacy, Biomedical Sciences or a related scientific discipline.
• Minimum 3 years of relevant professional experience in R&D, cosmetic formulation, product development or a related technical field. More experienced candidates are equally encouraged to apply.
• Solid understanding of cosmetic ingredients, formulation principles and product development processes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret technical information and translate findings into practical solutions.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage priorities across multiple projects.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with production, quality and external specialists.
• Strong communication skills and a structured approach to technical documentation and project follow-up.
• Excellent command of Dutch and English is preferred. International candidates with excellent English skills who have already started learning Dutch are also welcome. French is an advantage; German is a plus.
• Familiarity with quality management systems, GMP, ISO 13485 or cosmetic regulations is considered an asset, but is not required.
• A proactive mindset, scientific curiosity and willingness to develop new skills and responsibilities.
