About Daye
___
Daye is a pre-launch female healthtech startup developing a platform
that will enable women to take control of their wellbeing via innovative
new products, accessible screening and a data-driven tracking
application.
We are currently developing the world’s first plastic-free,
pain-relieving tampon: we use natural fibers, as part of our commitment
to environmental sustainability, in our tampons and infuse them with
pharma-grade, hemp CBD to offer an immediate, effective form of pain
relief.
We are a team of 6 based in East London and have raised over £1M from leading investors such as Index and Kindred.
About the Role
___
You will work closely with Alex, our Director of Manufacturing, to bring Daye tampons to market by Autumn.
Although we source the final organic tampons from the largest
supplier in the world, the CBD coating and re-packaging of these is done
in-house. We are currently setting up our own warehouse and clean room
to that end. You will come in to help prototyping, developing,
programming and executing the machines needed to accomplish this.
This is an exciting challenge that no one else is currently working
on and would give you the opportunity to work in a very exciting
healthtech/femtech pharma-grade product manufacturing.
