• Advising on gaps and opportunities within collections
• Supporting in-store execution, including updates to stands and POS
• Managing pre-shipment inspections and ensuring product readiness
• Attending weekly sales meetings, contributing to trading decisions and order recommendations
• Ensuring compliance is up to date, including INCI and RSPO accreditation

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in a similar NPD or project management-led role within colour cosmetics preferably.
