Location:
Delhi (on-site)

Function:
Packaging / Product Development / Supply Chain

Level:
Manager

Role Summary

Own end-to-end packaging for color cosmetics—concept to commercialization—ensuring great shelf impact, functional performance, quality, cost, and timelines. You'll collaborate with Product, R&D, Marketing, Procurement, Vendors, and QA to deliver packaging that scales.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Lead packaging development for color cosmetics (lip, face, eye, palettes, compacts, pencils, etc.) across primary + secondary + tertiary packs.
  2. Drive packaging brief creation: structure, finishes, decoration (hot foil, metallization, UV, emboss/deboss, screen, offsets), shade/opacity matching, artwork readiness.
  3. Vendor ecosystem ownership: identify, evaluate, onboard, negotiate, and manage packaging suppliers (India + overseas), including MOQ, lead times, EOL risk, and alternates.
  4. Execute packaging engineering and validation: fit/function (wipers, pumps, closures), compatibility (formula vs pack), leakage/drop tests, shipping testing, abrasion/scratch resistance, torque/locking performance.
  5. Costing & value engineering: target COGS, BOM optimization, standardization, pack architecture rationalization without compromising premium cues.
  6. Quality systems: AQL, incoming QC specs, defect libraries, CAPA, vendor audits, continuous improvement, and rejection reduction.
  7. Regulatory & labeling coordination (claims/legal text placement, barcode, batch/PAO, mandatory declarations) in partnership with Regulatory/Legal.
  8. Manage timelines and cross-functional cadence (critical path, pilot runs, PP/PS approvals, artworks, sampling, mass production).
  9. Build SOPs, specs, and documentation: packaging spec sheets, drawings, control samples, goldens, and change control.

Must-Have Requirements

  1. 5–10 years
    in packaging development/engineering
    with strong color cosmetics packaging experience
    (mandatory).
  2. Hands-on expertise in
    decorations/finishes
    , component engineering, and vendor management.
  3. Strong understanding of plastics (PP, ABS, PETG), aluminum, glass, elastomers, and common cosmetic mechanisms (wipers, twist-up, hinges, pans).
  4. Proven track record taking packs from concept → mass production; strong problem-solving on defects/leaks/breakage.
  5. Comfortable with Excel-based costing, BOMs, timelines; documentation discipline.

Good-to-Have

  1. Exposure to China/Korea packaging ecosystems, import processes, and multi-country sourcing.
  2. Sustainability knowledge: PCR materials, mono-material design, refill/reuse concepts, EPR-ready thinking.
  3. Basic CAD/drawing reading (or working with drawings) and packaging test protocols.

Skills & Traits

Ownership mindset, high attention to detail, strong negotiation, vendor diplomacy with firmness, speed with quality, cross-functional communication.

KPIs (What success looks like)

On-time launches, defect rate reduction, target COGS achievement, improved vendor OTIF, fewer reworks/artwork errors, and strong shelf/consumer feedback.
