About the role
- Manage fragrance development projects from start to finish: briefs, formulas, evaluations, samples, QC, and client approvals.
- Join client meetings as a trusted partner, capture feedback, and turn it into clear next steps while setting expectations on timelines and deliverables.
- Track milestones and dependencies, flag risks early, and hold teams accountable so projects stay on schedule.
- Coordinate across perfumers, FDMs, evaluators, lab, commercial, and manufacturing to ensure smooth handoffs and aligned priorities.
- Oversee sample delivery with precision, making sure every sample is accurate, documented, and delivered on time in the right format.
- Build and improve systems — using both standard tools and our proprietary platforms — to bring consistency, visibility, and scalability to fragrance development.
- Support perfumers and evaluators with formula prep, evaluation sessions, and feedback cycles, helping creative work translate seamlessly into client-ready outcomes.
Requirements
- 3–6 years in operations, project management, or product development. Experience in fragrance is a strong plus, but candidates from consumer goods or startup environments with strong operational and client-facing skills are also encouraged to apply.
- Proven operator who can juggle multiple complex projects and keep cross-functional teams aligned.
- Strong communicator with a client-ready presence, comfortable guiding both creatives and technical peers.
- Systems thinker with experience designing workflows, tools, and processes that scale.
- Startup DNA — thrives in fast-moving, ambiguous environments, energized by building in a disruptive space, and comfortable wearing many hats.
- Genuine curiosity about fragrance, sensory science, and AI-driven creation.
