Role: Brand Consultant - Skincare

Location: Mumbai, India

About the role

The brand is one of HUL's most distinctive purpose-led beauty brands. It's built on the belief that small acts of love, for yourself and the planet, can make a big difference. The brand already has a strong foothold with India's Gen Z in haircare. Now it's writing its skincare chapter from a blank page.

The Opportunity We're building Skincare from zero to one. Strategy is only half the job. The other half is getting it done: briefs that land, timelines that hold, packs that print right and launches that go live on time and in full.

We're looking for someone who sits at the center of that execution. You'll work closely with the Brand Manager to turn ideas into products on shelf and content in feeds. You'll get hands-on exposure to every part of a launch, and you'll learn faster than in almost any other role in the building.

What you will be doing

• Launch execution and project management: Own the launch tracker across the 3Ps of Brand Development: Product, Packaging and Proposition. Run cross-functional cadences with R&D, Supply Chain, CMI, Finance, Brand Building and e-commerce teams. Flag risks early, chase closures and keep every milestone on track for OTIF delivery.
• Consumer intimacy and trend scouting: Interest to build deep understanding of consumer needs, keep a live pulse on skincare culture: ingredients, formats, D2C launches, creators, Reddit and Instagram conversations, and e-commerce reviews. Turn what you find into short, sharp inputs/ insights for strategy and mix development to help build the brand innovation funnel.
• Product and Packaging: Translate trends / consumer needs to innovation product briefs with relevant claims. Drive packaging artwork development and approvals from brief to print-ready. Make sure claims, regulatory copy, barcodes and design files are accurate. Coordinate with design agencies and packaging development, and catch the error before it reaches the line.
• Craft communication: Support agency briefs for crafting communication, content, PDP and listing content for all launches. Track campaign and platform performance (Meta, quick commerce, marketplaces) and suggest what to change as we go along the journey.
• Operational rigour: Manage POs, budgets, agency billing and documentation. Keep the brand machine running cleanly in the background.

What you need to be great in this role

• Experience: 3-4 years in brand marketing, e-commerce or digital marketing, beauty or D2C startups, or agency account management. FMCG or beauty exposure is a strong plus.
• Love for beauty and trends: You're a genuine skincare enthusiast. You know what's trending on beauty Instagram, you have opinions on niacinamide and on new D2C launches, and you notice when a brand gets Gen Z right or wrong.
• Bias for action: You chase things down and close loops without needing a reminder.
• Intent to learn: You're curious, open to feedback and keen to grow into a Brand Manager. You ask "why" as often as "when."
• Attention to detail: Typos, wrong SKU codes and mismatched claims bother you. You check twice and send once.
• Appreciation for operations: You understand that great brands are built in trackers, artwork rounds and supply calls as...
