Are you ready to shape the next chapter of an exciting Beauty & Personal Care brand?

We’re partnering with a successful, fast-moving consumer brand that has built a strong presence through a social and D2C-led model.

Now, the business is entering its next phase of growth and looking for a Senior NPD Manager to help build a stronger, more strategic product pipeline.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys getting hands-on, spotting opportunities and turning great ideas into products consumers genuinely want.

The Role

You’ll take ownership of the NPD and Product Development pipeline, helping shape the future of the brand across Haircare and wider Beauty & Personal Care.

Working closely with suppliers and key stakeholders, you’ll oversee products from initial concept through to launch — ensuring they are commercially viable, relevant to the consumer and deliver against the right quality and price point.

You’ll be responsible for:

Building and managing the NPD pipeline

Reviewing the current range and identifying opportunities in the market

Developing clear, consumer-led product briefs

Working closely with suppliers throughout the product development process

Overseeing product development across formulation, ingredients, claims and packaging

Understanding competitor activity, pricing and product positioning

Helping build stronger processes and structure around NPD

About You

We’re looking for someone who has experience within Beauty, Personal Care, Haircare or a related consumer category.

You’ll ideally be:

Experienced in end-to-end NPD/Product Development

Comfortable working closely with suppliers and external partners

Knowledgeable around formulations, ingredients, claims and product quality

Commercially minded with an understanding of product positioning and pricing

Experienced in packaging development

Able to identify genuine consumer and market opportunities

Happy to get hands-on and build processes as you go

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a successful consumer brand at a pivotal point in its journey.

You won’t be stepping into a perfectly mapped-out structure — you’ll have the opportunity to shape the NPD function, build the product roadmap and make a genuine impact on what comes next.
