Senior Product Specialist – Maintenance & Compliance

Two openings: one in Beauty one in Home 

At Rituals we create products that turn everyday routines into meaningful moments. Beautiful design helps. A great fragrance helps. But if the product is not compliant not sustainable enough or not delivered on time it becomes a meaningful moment for all the wrong reasons. 

We are hiring two Senior Product Specialists to strengthen the core work of our category teams: Sourcing Sustainability Quality and Regulatory projects (SSQR). This role is about keeping our core assortment healthy through updates and improvements. Less blue-sky brainstorming more making sure things land in the market correctly. 

If you like ownership structure and solving complex puzzles with many stakeholders youll enjoy this role. 

What you will do 

• You are the execution lead and operational owner for a product portfolio within either Beauty or Home. You translate regulatory and sustainability triggers into clear actions and drive delivery across internal teams and external manufacturing partners. 
• Lead end-to-end product updates: from fragrance changes packaging updates reformulations to regulatory changes; from briefing to implementation.
• Own the critical path and ensure on time in full delivery by flagging risks early and aligning stakeholders fast. 
• Translate new legislation compliance requirements and sustainability targets into practical project plans and decisions. 
• Coordinate technical changes with R&D Regulatory Quality Packaging and suppliers while safeguarding the premium product experience. 
• Safeguard product lifecycle data quality in our systems (PLCM) including specifications and bills of materials. 
• Improve ways of working by simplifying workflows tightening governance and reducing avoidable errors for the wider team. 
• Communicate clearly to commercial and category stakeholders so everyone understands the why the what and the when.

Qualifications :

What you bring
