This role is all about balance: instinct and analysis, big-picture vision and rigorous execution, brand-building and business-driving. You will define our long-term product vision, create a differentiated pipeline of innovation, and ensure every product we bring to market meets a real customer need– while aspiring to create the next generation of category-defining, iconic products that only Glossier can deliver. Just as important, you’ll build and lead a high-performing Product team, fostering collaboration, elevating standards, and ensuring best-in-class work at every stage of the process. The North Star: Build iconic, category-defining products with our community, not just for them. If you’re energized by building, refining, and reimagining, and know how to pair creativity with disciplined execution, you may be exactly the ingredient we’re missing. So, is this you?
