<div class="content-intro"><h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">About Bobbie</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Bobbie makes European-style organic infant formula manufactured end-to-end in the U.S., because we believe every parent deserves to feed their baby with confidence, without judgment and without compromise. No mystery ingredients. No shortcuts. Just clean, thoughtfully made formula that parents can trust.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">But Bobbie has never been just a formula company. When the 2022 national infant formula shortage left parents across the country unable to feed their babies, we closed our storefront to new customers rather than leave a single existing family without formula. We went to Washington. We got loud. And we opened our Heath, Ohio manufacturing facility to make sure something like that could never happen again.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">That's who we are, and that's what you'd be joining.</p> <h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Bobbie for Change</h2> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Our advocacy arm, Bobbie for Change, exists because making great formula isn't enough if the systems around parenthood are still broken. We fight for paid federal parental leave, push for legislation to prevent future formula shortages, advocate for feeding equity, and support families navigating impossible situations, including donating formula to parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers through the Bobbie Breasties program.</p> <p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">We're a company that genuinely believes becoming a parent makes you an activist. The people who work here feel that too.</p></div><p class="p1"><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>About the Role</strong></span></p> <p class="p2">Bobbie is a $150M+ infant nutrition company growing 50% year over year, expanding into new product categories while operating under FDA-regulated infant formula standards.
