Job description

  • Assistant Manager Fragrance Product Development
Assistant Manager Fragrance Product Development

The role prepares technical briefs, coordinates internal panel testing, and presents development results. Fragrance houses, contract manufacturers, Packaging Development, Project Management, Product Marketing, Creative, and Supply Chain teams all take part in the work. A bachelor's degree in Chemistry or a related scientific field is required. Cosmetics product development experience, fragrance development experience, and some travel are also required.

Candidates applying for this role have a resume, examples of product development work, and details of fragrance-house collaboration ready before submitting an application. The application also requires a clear account of cosmetics development experience, scientific education, and willingness to travel.

Fragrance Formula Development

The assistant manager supports fragrance formulas through assessment, selection, testing, technical transfer, and launch preparation. Fragrance-house partners receive technical briefs, and internal panels evaluate scent samples before results move to broader project discussions.

Project work includes multiple milestones and parallel launches. The role analyzes test results, presents technical findings, communicates with contract manufacturers, and maintains relationships with external fragrance partners.

  • Assess and select fragrance houses
  • Prepare technical briefs
  • Coordinate internal panel testing
  • Analyze and present evaluation results
  • Manage technical transfer and launch preparation
  • Track project milestones with cross-functional teams
Scientific Experience And Partner Work

The role requires three to five or more years of cosmetics product development experience and direct fragrance development experience. Specialty training in perfumery, formulation knowledge, scale-up knowledge, and manufacturing knowledge support the technical work.

A scientific bachelor's degree is required, while an advanced degree is preferred. Clear communication matters because technical information moves between scientific specialists, brand teams, supply partners, and contract manufacturers. Leadership, presentation, organization, and independent work skills are part of the qualification set.

Sol de Janeiro launched in 2015 and built its beauty identity around Brazilian beauty rituals, warmth, and spirit. The company is headquartered in New York and has teams in Paris, London, and Germany.

The brand's product work includes cross-functional collaboration across Packaging Development, Project Management, Product Marketing, Creative, and Supply Chain. The company also identifies the People Experience Team as the contact for workplace accommodations and equal employment opportunity matters.

New York Product Development Work

The hybrid role connects New York based development work with international colleagues and external fragrance houses. Product development decisions move between formula work, scent evaluation, technical documentation, manufacturing communication, and launch milestones.

Some travel is part of the position, and the manager may work with teams in several countries as projects move toward production. The role's technical focus stays on fragrance formulas, partner coordination, and the product-development requirements of a growing beauty portfolio.

Sol de Janeiro has received recognition from TIME, Fast Company, and WWD Beauty Inc for its company and brand work. Those honors sit alongside the day-to-day responsibilities of formula evaluation, partner communication, and launch preparation.
