Job description

We're looking for a seasoned brand builder from luxury beauty, ideally with fragrance and/or Italian brand experience , who knows how to balance heritage and storytelling with sharp commercial execution, and who is energized by the idea of shaping the next chapter of a brand that’s already winning.
