Job description

Role Summary

Execute product builds across formula, packaging and vendor coordination from sample through production and shipment. You’ll keep documentation tight, timelines moving, and cross‑teams synced.

(Sr. Executive = larger/complex projects + deeper vendor autonomy; no direct reportees.)

What You’ll Do

• Project execution: Drive samples → stability/compatibility → pilot → mass production; own trackers, MOMs, GRNs, COAs, MSDS, shade cards, die‑lines, BOMs.
• Supplier coordination: Manage labs, fillers, and pack vendors for samples, quotes, lead times, and dispatches; chase artwork and pre‑press approvals.
• Regulatory & labeling basics: Prepare/verify INCI, net content, Mfg/Use‑by, cautions, claims footnotes, barcodes per market pack. Escalate edge cases to Manager/Regulatory.
• Logistics handoffs: Align with Planning/Warehouse on POs, inbounds, QC sampling, and ASN/documents; support import/registration documentation as guided.
• Data hygiene: Maintain PLM/Sheet, timelines, test results, COGS, vendor scorecards.
• Cross‑functional support: Prep decks, cost sheets, sample boards; coordinate shoots/shade checks with Brand/Design.
• Quality support: Log defects, coordinate CAPA with QA/vendor; monitor first‑pass yield during pilot.
• Process improvement: Identify bottlenecks and propose SOP tweaks.
