Who We Are At Osmo

Osmo is a digital olfaction company, on a mission to give computers a sense of smell to improve the health and wellbeing of human life. Why? Our sense of smell both enriches and saves lives, and has a deep and direct connection to our emotions and memory.

Olfactory Intelligence has applications across industries including fragrance, manufacturing, security, medicine, and more. We believe in the power of automation and thoughtfully applied AI/ML to solve problems beyond the reach of human intuition alone. Osmo is headquartered in New York, NY, with a new facility in New Jersey, and offices in Somerville, MA.

Osmo is seeking a Toxicologist to support and lead the scientific validation and safety assessment of novel fragrance ingredients and formulations. This role is responsible for the coordination and scientific oversight of toxicology studies and for ensuring that new materials meet applicable global safety standards for the personal care and fragrance industries.

The position works cross-functionally with internal Enterprise Studio teams and external consultants to manage toxicology study placements, registrations, and safety evaluations, ensuring that every scent digitized by Osmo is supported by appropriate safety data.

  • Provide toxicological input and clarification as required to support registration activities.

Client & Internal Support

  • Communicate toxicological findings and safety considerations in a clear and practical manner.

Novel Ingredient Support

  • Support the establishment of safety profiles for proprietary fragrance molecules (“Captives”).
  • Ensure safety data and conclusions align with established industry practices and consumer safety expectations.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with R&D, Quality, and Business teams to align toxicological activities with project timelines and development needs.
  • Translate toxicology-related outputs into information that supports project planning and execution.
  • Serve as a scientific toxicology point of contact for external laboratories, consultants, and industry partners.
  • Support professional engagement with relevant industry groups and technical forums as needed, representing Osmo in discussions related to fragrance safety and toxicological evaluation.

Product Stewardship Support

  • Assist with broader product stewardship activities, including light regulatory evaluations and preparation of safety summaries for internal stakeholders.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Industry Experience: Minimum of 3 years of professional experience in Personal Care, Cosmetics, or Fragrance & Flavor.
  • Toxicology Expertise: Solid understanding of toxicology principles and experience supporting the design and oversight of laboratory study protocols.
  • Regulatory Awareness: Working knowledge of global chemical regulations and safety expectations relevant to fragrance materials.
  • Communication Skills: Ability to collaborate cross-functionally and explain toxicology and safety concepts to non-scientific audiences.
  • Adaptability: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and commercial timelines.
  • Education: Ph.D. or Master’s degree in Toxicology, Pharmacology, Chemistry, or a related life science.
