  • Prepare and deliver product reviews, presentations, and development updates to internal stakeholders
  • Participate in vendor meetings and support external partner relationships

YOU'LL LOVE THIS JOB IF YOU ARE:
  • Passionate and knowledgeable about beauty: You love discovering new products and stay on top of the competitive landscape, brands, and trends
  • Curious and interested in product development: You ask questions, dig for insights, and are eager to build deep expertise in cosmetics development
  • Organized and detail-oriented: You stay organized, follow through, manage details carefully, and can prioritize across a variety of assignments.
  • Confident communicator: You are proactive, clear, and comfortable interfacing with a variety of internal and external stakeholders.
  • Motivated by a challenge: You are adaptable, resourceful, solutions-oriented, and willing to bring ideas to the table

QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience, ideally in the beauty industry
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in beauty, working in product development, preferably in color cosmetics
  • Strong passion for makeup and excitement for participating in the product creation process
  • Strong eye for formula, color, and overall product experience
  • Curious and creative thinker
  • Self-starter who takes initiative and works independently
  • Strong attention to detail and follow-through
  • Excellent time and project management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple assignments and prioritize effectively
  • Highly adaptable with a proactive, problem-solving mindset
  • Analytical with strong presentation and communication skills (verbal, written, interpersonal)
  • Proficient in MS Office, project management software, and survey tools
  • Ability to travel for shade matching, pilot or production approvals, and trade shows, as needed
  • Must be able to work from Corporate Office at least 60% of the time
