R&D Technician, Hard Product Innovation

Mammoth Brands (formerly Harry’s Inc.) is the modern CPG company behind brands Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. We’re building a new model—and home—brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples’ lives, and ultimately challenge the status quo. Our mission is to “Create Things People Like More.” Simply put: everything we do should be better than what already exists. If it’s not, we don’t do it. This guides everything we do, from developing the best product experiences, to making Mammoth Brands a great place to work, to exploring innovative ways to give back to our community.

We got our start in 2013 when our co-founders created Harry's. They built the brand differently—online first, prioritizing direct relationships with customers—and in the process learned they’d created something bigger: a playbook and platform that could help other brands grow and scale to their full potential, and a vision to reimagine consumer packaged goods. Today, Mammoth Brands is a growing portfolio of brands and the largest CPG company built in the last 20 years. Even as we grow, we take extra care to maintain the small, scrappy, entrepreneurial culture that helped to get us where we are today: to create a company that people like more, that better serves its customers, employees, and community. As a company, we’re also committed to making a positive impact and have donated over $20 million through our network of nonprofit partners to date. 

Are you a product enthusiast who loves making cool stuff? R&D is at the heart of product creation for our global Harry’s and Flamingo brands. Join our team of passionate engineers, scientists, researchers, technicians, program managers, and more who are on a mission to create insightful, innovative products that fulfill the unmet, sometimes unspoken, needs of our customers. Within R&D, the Hard Products team is the engine behind our shaving business, developing razors, handles, and accessories; anything made from metal or plastic, in any product category. We start the process with customer-focused concept development and take ideas through design, engineering, prototyping, technical testing, user testing, demonstration, and validation, eventually bringing products like our new Harry’s Plus razor to market.
