Partner with packaging vendors through sampling and finalization.
Regulatory & Quality Compliance
Ensure adherence to regulatory, safety, and industry standards.
Maintain product documentation, specifications, and certifications.
Commercial & Cross-Functional Execution
Support product launches in collaboration with marketing, operations, and design teams.
Monitor product performance and recommend improvements.
Optimize product cost without compromising quality or experience.

Who You Are
3–4 years of experience in beauty, cosmetics, or personal care product development.
Strong understanding of product lifecycle, formulations, and manufacturing processes.
Experience working with third-party manufacturers and vendors.
High attention to detail with strong execution capability.
Commercially aware with strong aesthetic and product sensibility.
Passionate about beauty innovation and consumer experience.

Why Join Us
Opportunity to build high-impact beauty products from the ground up.
Work in a fast-growing, design-led, consumer-first environment.
