WE’RE HIRING: NPD Head

We want sharp minds, high energy and people who know how to turn ideas into products that sell.

If you need a playbook for everything, this isn’t it.

What you'll do:

  • Spot trends, decode consumers and identify the next big opportunity in beauty and personal care.
  • Turn ideas into products, from concept and formulation to sampling and launch.
  • Work with manufacturers, R&D labs and suppliers to bring products to life.
  • Source ingredients and packaging that balance branding, quality and cost.
  • Own product costing, pricing, pack sizes and gross margins.
  • Negotiate with vendors, manage timelines and solve problems on the go.
  • Make sure every product meets our standards for quality, performance and brand fit.
  • Take ownership. Move without being told. Obsess over the details.
  • Balance creative thinking with commercial rigour. Build products people want and businesses can scale.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced environment where ideas move from concept to shelf, fast.
  • What we're looking for: 3–6 years of NPD experience, preferably in beauty, fragrance or personal care. Experience in India's D2C market and an existing manufacturer/supplier network are a strong advantage.

📍 Full Time in Gurgaon, Haryana — Udyog Vihar.
