Description

Description At PURIS, we're dedicated to cultivating a better food system and making a positive impact. How do we do it? By transforming high-quality, USA-made ingredients into essential components for a wide range of everyday products. From cereals and snacks to protein beverages and beyond, our ingredients are powering a healthier future. This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to be part of a growing food industry. You'll work with state-of-the-art engineering and work together with your peers to build a better food future. The Minneapolis office is where PURIS comes together as one. As our corporate headquarters, this team partners across commercial, finance, supply chain, people, and operations. We are working closely not only to support and scale our manufacturing network, but also to collaborate with our trusted grower partners across peas and soy. Located in the heart of the Twin Cities, the office blends forward-thinking work with strong relationships across the food system, from farm to finished ingredient. For those who value partnership, cross-functional problem solving, and collective impact, Minneapolis is where individual contributions help move the entire PURIS ecosystem forward. The purpose of this position is to unlock and expand the value of PURIS pea protein side streams by developing differentiated, high-value starch-, fiber-, and pea solubles–based ingredients. As a core R&D innovator, the Technical Ingredient Specialist will design, develop, and scale novel technologies, processes, and applications that transform starch, fiber, and pea solubles streams from pea protein manufacturing into commercial ingredients with clear functional, nutritional, and economic advantages. The role also partners with customers and commercial teams to translate unmet needs into technical targets, assess ingredient fit and access, and inform development priorities.
