This is a truly superb opportunity to join a market-leading LUXURY skin care brand and make a huge personal impact. As Product Development Director you will lead a sizeable team of 7 within NPD, reporting into one of the brand’s Founders in this high-profile role. A maternity cover fixed term contract, the role is likely to last no less than 12 months and possible longer.
Along with the brand’s integral appetite for newness there is importantly an exciting and challenging complete re-packaging project which will need driving forward along with a big push around sustainability, not just on packaging but also innovative ingredients. Oh, and did we say, BAU is busy, busy, busy! This brand is a fierce award-winner and known for their appetite for newness.
A strong background in innovative, cutting edge SKIN CARE is clearly essential and if you have already managing a re-pack then all the better. An Omni-channel brand, products can relate to specific sales channels and gifting is also a big part of their offering.
In terms of personal attributes, you’ll be the kind of person who leads from the front, an inspirational functional leader able to bring strategic blue-sky thinking along with understanding the practical application of their 5-year plan both across internal resources and external manufacturing, sourcing and formulation partners. Essentially a high-quality Director, able to step into big shoes and hit the ground running!
Does this sound like you? If so, I’d love to hear from you. The role is due to begin early January for an effective handover. Please send your CV to me Ali Reffell, Principal Consultant – Health and Beauty Division at VPss: areffell@vpss.co.uk quoting CosBus in your application.
