Manager, Digital Technology Development

We have been alerted to the existence of a fraudster impersonating MANSCAPED as a hiring manager or HR representative. This impersonator is utilizing an email address with the domain manscapedjobs.com or manscapedcareers.com and is making fraudulent offers for our open jobs. Contact from MANSCAPED will only ever come from someone with a manscaped.com email address.

This is a scam targeting a number of companies, us included. If you receive any of these types of messages, we recommend that you don’t respond with any information and that you block and report those users.

• The MANSCAPED Team

Who We Are - MANSCAPED® is a leading men’s grooming and lifestyle consumer brand on a mission to introduce and elevate a whole new self-care routine for men. What began as the category creator of below-the-waist grooming has quickly evolved into a global omnichannel powerhouse available around the world on manscaped.com, Amazon, and in major retailers including Target®, Walmart, and Best Buy. As a company, we’re more than just ball jokes (though, rest assured, there’s plenty of those). We proudly uphold seven core values – accountability, authenticity, collaboration, fun, humility, inclusivity, and innovation – which define our brand identity and drive our success. As a people-centric employer brand, we are deeply committed to fostering the growth, happiness, and holistic well-being of each individual on our team.

Who We’re Looking For - Reporting to the Sr. Director, Digital Technology Development , we are seeking a hands-on, full-stack Manager , Digital Technology Development to lead a team of developers, both onshore and offshore, who build and run the MANSCAPED® direct-to-consumer platform: the Shopify Plus storefront and checkout, the headless web experience, the Node.js middleware and integrations behind it, and the cloud infrastructure it runs on. This is a technical manager role: the ideal candidate spends a meaningful part of every week in the code – reviewing pull requests, setting engineering standards, unblocking developers and building features – while owning backlog and change management with the Team PM, hiring, performance management, vendor relationships and production health, and partnering with Product, DTC, Marketing, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Applications, the Digital Technology architect and leadership on budget, KPIs and the evolution of the stack.


The MANSCAPED® Way - At MANSCAPED®, what we do matters – but how we do it matters more. We take ownership of our work, showing up with accountability and a commitment to quality at every level. We work as one team, guided by a belief to unite, never divide, and to lead with empathy in how we support and challenge one another. The best ideas win, and they come from keeping our egos in check and our standards high. We stay humble, open to learning, and willing to grow. We bring fun to the journey, because great work shouldn’t come at the expense of enjoying what you do. We stay nimble and innovative, always looking for smarter and better ways to get things done. Ball work is honest work, and that mindset shows up in everything we do, including our proud partnership with the Testicular Cancer Society and our commitment to raising awareness of the ball-busting disease.
