Leverage these insights to identify untapped opportunities for innovation and growth within the coloration category.
• Product Launch & Market Animation: Lead new coloration product launches, ensuring optimal sizing and market readiness. You will also animate the market with engaging, cycle-based campaigns that resonate with both professionals and consumers.
• Education & Artistic Collaboration: Collaborate with the Education Manager to create market-relevant looks and plan successful education roadshows.
• POSM Management: Take charge of the end-to-end management of POSM for coloration, ensuring that our salon partners receive timely and effective merchandising tools to drive visibility and sales.
• Attend collab meetings and ensure accurate forecasting.
• Manage Budget: Effectively manage marketing budgets.
• Organize Incentive Trips: Plan and execute the coloration end-year incentive trip.

Collaboration & Cross-Functional Synergy: Actively participate in all relevant collaboration meetings to align strategies, share insights, and ensure seamless execution across all departments.

• A Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, or a related field.
• Proficiency in English & Arabic.
• Expertise in Brand Management and Marketing Strategy.
• Strong skills in Consumer Insights and Project Management.
• Collaborative Spirit: A natural collaborator with exceptional interpersonal and communication skills, adept at influencing stakeholders and fostering strong partnerships, particularly with education, commercial and supply chain teams.
• A growth mindset, with a passion for innovation and collaboration.
• Strong negotiation skills, data-oriented, analytical and sales budget planning skills

What's In It For You

• A place for you to leave your comfort zone and grow beyond your potential (here, you'll be encouraged to try new things and take risks!).
• Real responsibility from day 1-there's no sitting on the sidelines at L'Oréal.
• An environment where people of every ethnicity, social background, age, religion, gender, and sexual orientation-as well as people with disabilities-are accepted, can speak up, will thrive, and are celebrated!
