Job description

Full-Time Contract | El Segundo, CA | Hybrid, 3 Days Onsite - Industrial Color extended

Industrial Color is seeking a highly analytical and commercially minded Finance Manager to support the Global Finance team of a leading international beauty and makeup brand.

This is a full-time contract position through Industrial Color, supporting an ongoing business need within a fast-paced global cosmetics organization. We are seeking someone interested in a long-term opportunity, with an anticipated commitment of at least two years.

The role combines financial planning and analysis (FP&A), financial modeling, budget management, performance analysis and strategic business partnering across Marketing, Product Development, Supply Chain and other cross-functional teams.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in beauty, makeup, cosmetics, skincare, consumer products or other brand-led businesses, who understand the commercial dynamics of product launches, marketing investment and consumer-facing brands.

The successful candidate will be equally comfortable managing recurring financial processes and developing sophisticated financial analyses to support commercial decisions.

This opportunity is particularly suited to an experienced Senior Financial Analyst ready to take the next step, or an existing Finance Manager interested in developing their career within the global beauty industry.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Engineering, Mathematics or another quantitative discipline.
• Approximately 5–8 years of experience in FP&A, Commercial Finance, Strategic Finance, Investment Banking, Management Consulting or a related finance function.
• Strong financial modeling capabilities, including scenario analysis, forecasting and business case development.
• Demonstrated experience with budgeting, variance analysis, financial reporting and performance management.
• Advanced proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint.
• Experience using AI-enabled productivity tools to improve efficiency, automate routine tasks and enhance financial analysis.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to solve complex or unstructured business problems.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate financial information into clear recommendations.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Comfortable balancing strategic analysis with recurring financial and operational responsibilities.
• Must be able to work onsite in El Segundo, CA, three days per week.

Preferred

• Experience within beauty, cosmetics, consumer products, retail, fashion, entertainment or another fast-paced, brand-led environment.
• Experience partnering with Marketing, commercial or product teams.
• Experience working within a large, global or matrixed organization.
• MBA and/or CPA is a plus.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone who combines strong analytical ability with an exceptional sense of ownership, accountability and execution.

This is a hands-on Finance Manager position within a collaborative global finance team. While the role offers exposure to strategic initiatives and senior business leaders, it also includes meaningful recurring financial and operational responsibilities.

The right candidate will:

• Take pride in delivering accurate, reliable work and managing the details.
• Be willing to roll up their sleeves and take ownership of routine financial processes.
• Demonstrate intellectual curiosity, humility and a willingness to learn.
• Balance analytical depth with practicality, speed and business needs.
• Build trust through responsiveness, collaboration and consistent execution.
• Bring fresh thinking to financial processes while respecting established controls and procedures.
• Be motivated to develop into a strong business partner over time.
• Be interested in making a meaningful, long-term contribution to the team.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to build your finance career within NYX Professional Makeup, one of the world's leading beauty brands, while working as part of L'Oréal's global finance community.

You will gain broad exposure to financial planning, commercial finance, strategic analysis, internal controls and cross-functional business partnership.

The role offers the opportunity to work directly with senior business leaders, contribute to high-impact decisions and develop your capabilities within a collaborative and fast-paced global organization.
