• Performance management: Monitor product KPIs including sales, revenue, and margins, deriving data-driven recommendations for current and future portfolio decisions
• Cross-functional collaboration: Coordinate closely with internal teams (procurement, operations, brand, marketing, sales) and external partners including manufacturers, suppliers, and fragrance houses

What We're Looking For

• Proven product management experience: Solid background in Product Management or New Product Development, ideally within a D2C brand, FMCG, or beauty environment
• Skincare expertise: Hands-on experience or strong knowledge in skincare/skin health is a significant advantage
• Trend awareness and customer focus: Genuine passion for beauty trends, intuition for consumer needs, and commitment to continuous product improvement
• Analytical capabilities: Confident working with market and sales data (KPIs, revenue, volume metrics) and translating insights into actionable strategies
• Stakeholder management: Experience coordinating external partners (suppliers, fragrance partners, manufacturers) and internal stakeholders across functions
• Process and project strength: Structured, self-directed working style with strong hands-on mentality
• Language skills: Excellent German and English, written and spoken
