Company Overview

Force Factor Brands is on a mission to disrupt the global health and wellness industry by creating innovative health products that consumers love, at price points they can afford. Our vitamins, supplements, and better-for-you foods are scientifically formulated to help create healthier and happier lives for people of all kinds (and soon, their pets, too!).

Our award-winning products are sold in thousands of retail and eCommerce stores nationwide, including Walmart, The Vitamin Shoppe, Sam’s Club, GNC, CVS, Walgreens, iHerb, and Amazon. Currently, more than 35,000 people buy our products every day, and that number is growing every month. You have the potential to make a real impact on people’s lives by working at Force Factor to create solutions that improve global health.

Culturally, think of us as an intense, meritocratic, and exciting high-growth startup that has survived and thrived through its first decade of rapid evolution and is now thinking about how to scale up and conquer the next decade’s challenges and opportunities. We’ve sold more than a billion dollars worth of products to consumers over the last 13+ years, but fundamentally know that we’re just at the beginning of our journey, and that’s where you come in! We need the smartest, highest energy people with real integrity who are looking to join an ambitious, hard-working team.

Force Factor is based in Boston’s innovative Seaport District. Our team is filled with passionate, dedicated, and inspiring people operating with an ownership mindset (which is easy because we are entirely privately held and plan to stay that way). If you love a challenge, enjoy acting with urgency, and prefer to opt into a high-performance culture, when you join us, you’ll feel like you’ve finally come home. Our private ownership structure is designed for the long term to enable huge opportunities for key team members to generate significant wealth, and we hope you’ll choose to help us build an enduring and successful business for decades to come.
