The Opportunity

We’re seeking a motivated, highly organized, and entrepreneurial Product Development Junior Manager to help build Brand 4’s beauty and wellness products in-house. This role will lead shade development and approval for complexion products while supporting quality assurance and quality control across the broader product portfolio.

You’ll work closely with the Product Development team, senior Brand 4 leadership, and external suppliers and partners to help ensure products meet high standards for shade match, quality, consistency, functionality, and consumer experience. The role combines detailed in-office work with hands-on work at supplier, manufacturing, and laboratory facilities.

International travel is a significant part of the role. During active shade development and production periods, travel may typically be one to two weeks per month, with peak periods requiring up to three weeks per month.

What You Will Do

• Lead end-to-end shade development and approval for complexion products, coordinating suppliers, models, makeup artists, samples, and approvals while maintaining a high bar for shade match quality.
• Support quality assurance and quality control across the Brand 4 portfolio, evaluating formulas, shades, components, packaging, and finished goods against approved standards from development through mass production.
• Establish and maintain product specifications, quality standards, approval criteria, and applicable testing requirements; coordinate testing and review results.
• Partner with suppliers, manufacturers, laboratories, and internal teams to investigate quality or development issues, identify root causes, and drive timely corrective actions.
• Own the operational process and documentation for shade development and quality reviews, including sample tracking, inspections, approvals, issue logs, and clear updates on status and risks.
• Collaborate across Product Development, Marketing, Technology, and other teams; mentor junior team members supporting development and approval logistics, and adapt as priorities shift.

Who You Are

• You have 1–3 years of professional experience in a fast paced environment such as Investment Banking, Management Consulting, or an early stage startup. Experience in beauty or in Product Development is a plus
• You are exceptionally organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple high-priority projects and reprioritize quickly.
• You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and can use data, observations, and structured thinking to identify root causes and drive solutions.
• You take ownership, follow through, and have a strong bias toward action.
• You are both strategic and hands-on, willing to inspect products, document defects, organize samples, and follow issues through to resolution.
• You communicate clearly and confidently and can work effectively with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.
• You are comfortable operating in ambiguity while following detailed standards, specifications, and established processes; you learn quickly and are motivated to build strong judgment across shade matching, formulas, packaging, and finished goods.
• You are willing and able to travel internationally, typically one to two weeks per month during active shade development and production periods, with potential for up to three weeks per month at peak times.
