Product Manager – Luxe Skincare

We are looking for a highly driven, commercially sharp Product Manager to join our luxury beauty portfolio, working across Luxe skincare in the Middle East!

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the core of the business — blending product strategy, demand planning, and operational execution across distributors, retailers and regional teams.

The Role

At its core, this role is about owning the product lifecycle end-to-end — from forecasting and pricing through to execution in market.

Product & Commercial Ownership

  • Manage assortment, forecasts, and overall product portfolio across channels and retailers
  • Own pricing strategy and competitive analysis throughout the year (with key regional alignment moments)
  • Drive forecast accuracy and contribute directly to sales performance
  • Demand Planning & Order Management (Core to the Role)
  • Lead order planning and placement, working daily with distributors
  • Partner closely with Demand Planning to assess needs and translate forecasts into execution plans
  • Align product allocation to distributors based on strategic priorities and demand
  • Proactively manage replenishment, newness, and opening orders

Execution & Operational Excellence

  • Ensure seamless product flow — from availability through to shipment to distributors
  • Work cross-functionally (Supply Chain, Logistics, Regional, Retail) to resolve stock issues and ensure on-time delivery
  • Take ownership when challenges arise — coordinating stakeholders to deliver solutions

Projects & Launch Execution

  • Lead key projects such as product kits and locally assembled sets
  • Ensure correct quantities, timelines, barcodes, and coordination with suppliers and warehouses
  • Oversee the full process from product readiness to in-market availability

Stakeholder Management & Influence

  • Work closely with regional teams to secure quantities for launches and negotiate additional needs
  • Build strong relationships with distributors and retailers, including face-to-face engagement
  • Support and contribute to retailer presentations and product strategy discussions
  • Act as a key point of contact across brands, distributors, and internal teams

What We Are Looking For

  • 5–8 years’ experience in product/marketing roles within beauty, luxury, retail or FMCG
  • Strong commercial acumen with deep understanding of forecasting, pricing and assortment planning
  • Highly organised, detail-oriented, and operationally strong
  • Confident working across logistics and supply chain topics
  • Exceptionally strong collaborator (both with internal and external stakeholders).
  • A proactive self-starter who takes initiative and works effectively with senior stakeholders
  • Advanced Excel skills (SAP is a plus)
  • Fluent English (Arabic is an advantage)
  • Digitally savvy- comfortable with AI.
