Global Brand Manager (skincare product development a must)

The position of Global Brand Manager at La Prairie, the premium skincare line of the Beiersdorf Group, centers on shaping the future of a key product collection. The role is tasked with steering the flow of new and refreshed offerings, using scientific credibility and long‑term franchise strategy to fuel growth. Each day the manager will scout emerging consumer desires, scientific breakthroughs and market signals, then turn those insights into viable product concepts. Close collaboration with research, science, packaging, regulatory and regional teams is required to guide projects from early ideas through to market launch. Responsibilities also include building business cases, crafting strategic recommendations and delivering persuasive presentations to senior executives, while translating complex science into compelling luxury narratives. Candidates must bring at least three years of experience in skincare innovation, product development or marketing, with a solid grasp of the science behind efficacy‑driven categories. Proven work on scientifically backed products that deliver measurable consumer benefits is essential, as is familiarity with Asian markets, particularly China. The ability to convey technical concepts in clear consumer terms, manage multi‑disciplinary projects independently, and communicate confidently with stakeholders is required. Fluency in English and a resilient, solution‑focused attitude are also mandatory. Desirable attributes include a background in high‑end skincare, especially in brightening or pigmentation lines, knowledge of Chinese product registration, and experience with dermocosmetics or science‑led beauty brands. Experience across both global and local marketing structures and exposure to ingredient‑focused innovation platforms are a plus. The role offers health‑insurance contributions, generous vacation time, flexible remote work up to two days per week, product discounts, extensive learning resources, internal mobility options and referral bonuses.
