• Maintain trackers with new formula numbers and ensure accurate and up-to-date documentation.
• Collaborate closely with the Project Management team to monitor timelines, milestones, and overall project execution.
• Facilitate artwork reviews and ensure the final product aligns with branding and regulatory guidelines.
• Submit formula documentation to third-party agencies and assist in product registration exercises.
• Act as the primary point of contact for external communication, ensuring smooth interaction with stakeholders and manufacturers.
• Drive pricing adjustments and updates to ensure alignment with budget and regulatory changes.
• Ensure compatibility reading is a priority and actively track progress on formula reformulation and compliance checks.

Product Development Manager Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in fragrance product development, regulatory compliance, or a similar role in the beauty or fragrance industry.
• Strong expertise in regulatory compliance and formulation changes.
• Familiarity with fragrance formulation processes and understanding of industry regulations and standards (FDA, EU, etc.).
• Experience working with project management software, preferably ASANA and The Good Face, to manage timelines, trackers, and submissions.
• Proficiency in managing external communications with contract manufacturers and stakeholders.
• Ability to handle multiple tasks and manage a large volume of SKUs in a fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of projects and ask the right questions for effective execution.
• Strong organizational skills, with attention to detail and the ability to ensure accurate record-keeping.
• Experience in overseeing and managing packaging and regulatory compliance processes.
• Must be based in New York.

• Agile and resilient, with the ability to manage stress and maintain productivity under pressure.
• Strong communicator with resilience to handle the demands of a fast-paced, high-stakes project.
• Collaborative team player who thrives in a dynamic environment, able to independently manage and own the project while contributing to cross-functional success.
