Perelel is hiring: Art Director in California

Perelel is an OB/GYN-founded women's health company on a mission to deliver doctor-engineered supplements informed by up-to-the-minute clinical insights that meet the needs of womanhood. We take the burden off women to self-research by bringing a level of clinical rigor that doesn't exist elsewhere in the category.
