Job description

Olaplex had its decade. K18 had its moment. The bond category is a red ocean full of brands yelling "patented technology" at each other. Your job: steer the one brand positioned where color meets repair — and make stylists fall in love before civilians ever hear about it.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO:

• Wake up thinking about disulfide bonds. Go to sleep thinking about pigment load. Dream in epoxysilicone.
• Run a brand where the stylist is the customer and the client is the stylist's customer. If you don't know the difference, this isn't your job.
• Backward-plan launches from Premiere Orlando like a military operation, then stand in booth carpet shoes for 10 hours defending a $250 Platinum bundle like it's your firstborn.
• Say "no" to TikTok Shop. Every day. Forever. Even when it's tempting. ESPECIALLY when it's tempting. We translate viral moments into behind-the-chair education, not impulse listings.
• Enforce the sacred law: inventory before marketing before relaunch. You will not hype a hero SKU that's out of stock. We have a rule about this. It has a number.
• Referee fights between the P&L person and the creative person, and refuse to split the difference. Pick a side. Say why.

YOU'RE PERFECT IF:

• You can explain a bond builder to a colorist in 30 seconds and to a CFO in 15.
• You believe "color that repairs" is a wedge, not a tagline.
• You've never once said "let's just run it flat across 12 months" about a forecast.
• Regulatory review excites you slightly more than it should. (Formaldehyde-exposure language on smoothing claims is not a vibe, it's a gate.)
• You take a position. Hedging is for gardens.

RED FLAGS (YOURS, NOT OURS):

• You think salon-pro and DTC numbers can be blended into one chart.
• Your instinct for every trend is "post it."
• You'd ship creative that hasn't survived a critic pass.

COMP & PERKS:

Competitive salary, the smug satisfaction of out-positioning brands 10x your budget, and hair so conditioned it's basically a liability.
