The Opportunity
A brilliant opportunity to join this well known beauty brand, as a Senior NPD Executive, working within a highly collaborative team.
This role is heavily project management-led, ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys ownership, and can confidently manage multiple moving parts across product launches.

- Working on two major launches per year
- Collaborating closely with NPD, suppliers, and key retail accounts
- Creating and sending detailed product briefs to accounts and suppliers
- Overseeing artwork sign-off and ensuring brand consistency
- Presenting upcoming collections and providing creative and commercial input on product ranges
- 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.
- Someone who can hit the ground running and confidently manage multiple projects
- Strong presentation skills, with experience leading client-facing meetings
- Highly organised with excellent prioritisation and time management
- A collaborative team player with a proactive, solutions-focused mindset
- Resilient and comfortable working to tight deadlines
