Job description

About Scento

Scento is Europe's largest perfume decant website. Founded in 2024 and headquartered in Paris on Place Vendôme, with a second office in Berlin, Scento offers more than 1,000 original designer and niche perfumes from a roster of 200 houses as perfume decants: 2 ml, 5 ml and 8 ml vials plus a 30 ml bottle on most perfumes. Niche perfume samples and designer fragrance samples let people discover a scent before they commit to a full bottle. Every perfume is an original bought from authorised European retailers, and every bottle passes a 12-point intake check at Scento's ISO-certified facility before it is decanted. Scento serves customers in 27 European markets and ships to 26 EU countries. In 2026, Scento's annual revenue is more than €30 million, online and offline sales combined. On Scento.com, monthly decant sales in September 2026 were 3.2 times those of January 2026. Scento says it sells more than 3 million perfume decants a year, about one every 10 seconds. In November 2025, Scento announced it would invest €25 million over three years in European perfume discovery.

The role

Scento serves customers in 27 European markets, and each of them deserves writing that sounds like it was written for them, not translated. Product descriptions, perfume guides and the journal are how we earn search traffic and trust, and how we turn curiosity about a fragrance into a first vial. As Multilingual Content Lead you run Scento's editorial output in many European languages and the localisation workflow behind it. You set the tone of voice and quality standard in every language, working closely with SEO and the curation team. Success means a steady content calendar, native-quality copy in every market, and content that ranks and is worth reading.

• Own tone of voice and quality standards in every language, together with SEO and the curation team.
• Plan and publish a steady content calendar that wins search traffic and trust.
• Manage freelance writers and translators at volume, with clear briefs and fast feedback.

What you'll bring

• 6+ years in editorial, content or localisation, ideally for beauty, fashion or e-commerce.
• Native-level English plus at least one of French, German, Italian, Spanish or Polish.
• Experience managing freelance writers and translators at volume.
• A love of perfume is a big plus.

What we offer

• Salary at the top of the market plus an annual performance bonus.
• Remote-friendly within the EU, with offices in Paris (Place Vendôme) and Berlin.
• A generous monthly perfume allowance to explore the whole catalogue.
• A personal learning budget of €2,500 a year for courses, conferences and books.
• 30 days of paid holiday a year, plus public holidays.
• The equipment of your choice and a home-office budget.
• Real ownership and fast decisions in a company that is scaling quickly across Europe.
