More about this role
Ultra™ is already the #1 brand of nicotine-free pouches in the world and we only launched one year ago—we’re just getting started. Our mission is to build the category-defining brand of functional pouches for people who want enhanced performance without the crash, addiction, or long-term downsides. ULTRA doesn’t just make a pouch that’s somewhat “better for you” than Zyn—we make functional performance products that are actively good for you.
The market shift is massive: nicotine pouch sales are up 3,000% since 2019 and projected to reach $20B by 2026. Consumers are adopting the pouch form factor at scale, and many are now seeking nicotine-free functional benefits. Ultra is positioned to lead that wave.
