About Kitsch
Kitsch is a certified female and minority-owned global beauty brand. Our products are in 32,000+ retailers across 92 countries. We make essentials that make you feel exceptional.
The Role
We're looking for a Product Development Specialist to own our Accessories category, from the first collection idea all the way to launch. You'll think in collections, not single products. You'll bring fresh, on-brand ideas before anyone asks for them. You'll report to our Sr. Manager, Product Development.
Here's what to know before you apply:
- Location: Philippines, 100% remote
- Schedule: Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM Pacific Time. (PT)
- Contract type: Full-time independent contractor agreement
What You'll Do
- Start new projects based on your own read of the category, without waiting for a brief
- Build and present full collection decks with trend data, top seller insights, and a clear Kitsch story
- Make sure every idea fits what Kitsch stands for, so it's ready for review the first time
- Research factory options before development starts: existing styles, new finishes, swatch cards, and early costing
- Negotiate costs with factories using options like higher MOQs, multiple POs, or different materials
- Keep every project on schedule and flag risks early
- Review top sellers regularly and turn what you learn into ideas for what's next
What You Bring
- Product development experience, ideally a couple of years (accessories is a plus, but other categories are welcome)
- Experience working with factories and suppliers on finishes, swatches, and costing
- A commercial mindset: you think about cost, MOQ, and margin
- A strong eye for trends and for what fits a brand
- Great attention to detail and high quality standards
- You're organized, proactive, and independent, with a solution-first attitude
- You learn fast, stay positive, and love working as part of a team
- You enjoy a fast-paced environment
- You're comfortable working a full overnight shift on Pacific Time
- Competitive Pay/Benefits
- A dynamic team
- Location: Remote
- An open mind for new ideas
- Growth…growth and some more growth!
