About this role

A lead-level research and development role at DHC, which treats R&D as a priority investment area for both new and existing products. The position leads cosmetics development with a focus on skincare and sits at the centre of product value creation, carrying work from technology building through development to market launch rather than formulation alone.

Responsibilities include cosmetics technology development, formulation design and driving products to commercialisation; managing the development team and developing junior members; solving problems in development processes and team operations and turning them into systems; and contributing to medium- and long-term technology development and product strategy.

Required: research and development experience at a cosmetics manufacturer or OEM manufacturer (roughly ten years or more as a guide), particularly in skincare product development, and experience managing a development team or a track record of leading product development.
