Want to shape the future of a fast-growing portfolio with international visibility?
If so, this brand-new role could be your next big move.
🌍 About the Role
As Global Product Manager for our Beauty & Peronal Care category, you’ll champion a high-potential international portfolio sitting at the intersection of beauty, skincare, personal wellness and specialist care.
You’ll combine consumer insight, category trends, competitor analysis and commercial strategy to drive global growth across retail, professional and specialist markets.

*
Develop tools and training to empower UK & international commercial teams
*
Influence pricing, margin, pack formats and product improvements
*
Partner closely with regulatory, quality, supply chain and R&D
*
Support global demand planning and alignment with S&OP

Travel internationally to meet distributors, retailers and customers
