  • Support documentation and regulatory submissions, including Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Product Information Files (PIF).

    • Team Leadership:

  • Train and mentor cross-functional teams on quality standards and best practices.
  • Lead root cause analyses and corrective/preventive action (CAPA) initiatives.

    • Travel

  • Ability to travel domestically and internationally when needed warehouses to conduct an AQL (acceptance quality limits) on incoming product shipments.

What Will Make You Stand Out:

  • 5+ years of QA/QC experience in the beauty or personal care industry, specifically with color cosmetics and skincare or similar consumer products. 
  • Strong understanding and ability to analyze cosmetic products, manufacturing processes, and documentation.
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency with QMS software and familiarity with cosmetic testing methods (e.g., microbiological, stability, compatibility).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Cosmetic Science, or a related field.
