Pendulum® is leading a revolution that is occurring around the world to improve physical and mental health by first understanding, then restoring and enhancing the human microbiome.
Studies have shown that our microbiome (the bacterial communities in and on our bodies) is linked to everything from metabolism and diabetes, to longevity, weight loss, healthy immune systems, cancer prevention, feelings of well-being, inflammatory bowel disease, and even healthy skin. We have just scratched the surface on understanding the impact that our microbiome has on our lives. During early life we develop a diverse and balanced microbiome that plays a critical role in shaping our long-term health. Over our lives, a combination of diet, lifestyle, antibiotics, and aging can decrease the effectiveness of our microbiome.
Pendulum recognized the enormous impact they could have on people’s lives if they were able to address the imbalances in the microbiome. To accomplish this, Pendulum created proprietary probiotic pipelines and a unique discovery platform to identify key, novel bacterial strains and the prebiotics that feed them. The company has also built and developed the world’s first manufacturing technology to produce bacteria in an anaerobic (oxygen-free) environment at scale.
The medical probiotics that Pendulum has formulated have transformed the consumer probiotics market into a new category of therapeutic offerings that deliver the power and efficacy of a pharmaceutical with the safety and accessibility of a natural probiotic. Due to Pendulum’s explosive revenue and customer growth over the last two years, the company earned a spot on Forbes Magazine’s exclusive “The Next Billion Dollar Startups” list.

We’re taking a science-backed brand into retail and growing our wholesale business, and we need a leader who gets energy from building relationships and turning plans into results. As our Director, Retail & Wholesale Revenue, you’ll be the person who knows every account inside and out, spots problems before anyone else does, and expands the business we do with our retail and wholesale partners.
This is a rare chance to join early in the growth of a new channel. You’ll help shape how we run retail from day one, building the relationships, routines and reports that everything else will rest on. You’ll work side by side with senior leadership, helping to shape how our brand scales through retail and wholesale, and getting real ownership of accounts that matter to the business. Nothing here is a side project. As we grow, the scope and the opportunities will grow with you.

Pendulum builds an AI-driven platform for strategic business and supply chain planning. It integrates fragmented internal data—such as inventory, procurement, and pricing—to forecast demand, optimize supply, and provide real-time asset visibility, even in environments with limited data or connectivity. The system learns autonomously and aims to replace manually calibrated planning tools, with applications across retail, healthcare, government, and national security, including Adore Me (16% stockout reduction without more inventory) and a GPS-denied navigation capability for military operations. The goal is to reduce large-scale losses from supply chain inefficiencies by delivering end-to-end planning, forecasting, and logistics through an integrated AI platform.
