Full-time Product Marketing Manager, Wonderskin
FULL-TIME EXEC JOB · PERSONAL CARE PRODUCT MANUFACTURING SECTOR · LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM

Wonderskin is hiring a full-time Product Marketing Manager (6+ years) to own product positioning, launch strategy, competitive tracking and cross-functional enablement for a fast-growing beauty brand. The role is explicitly full-time, 40 hours/week, hybrid in London, with no fractional or interim flexibility mentioned.
Full-time Product Marketing Manager — the balanced verdict
Why this role stands out
- Clear, well-scoped full-time product marketing remit with measurable 30/90/365-day success criteria
- Attractive brand (DTC beauty, innovation-led, strong product narrative) and cross-functional ownership
- Emphasis on insight-driven strategy, consumer research and market leadership appeals to strong mid-market operators
- Commitment to diversity and hiring for potential and passion signals a genuine employer culture
Worth checking before you apply
- Full-time only — no indication of flexibility for fractional/interim arrangement; not suitable for portfolio executives
- Reporting line unclear — mentions 'Brand', 'Product', 'senior brand manager' but no explicit boss named
- Scope is broad (competitor tracking, launches, portfolio strategy, enablement, reporting) — will depend on support team maturity and resourcing clarity at interview

Wonderskin is a fast-growing beauty brand redefining long-wear makeup through innovation, performance and a “lifeproof” philosophy. Best known for our proprietary Wonder Blading technology and cutting-edge formulas, we make products built to keep up with real life: bold colour, lasting wear, and confidence that doesn’t fade.
The Role
Wonderskin is built on products people can't help but talk about. As Product Marketing Manager, you will make sure we know why they matter, who they’re for, and how to explain them better than anyone else in the category.
You will own the story behind each product, from the market insights that inform what we build to the claims that win over our consumer. Working closely with our Brand, Product and Innovation, Creative, Social, E-commerce and Retail, you’ll turn consumer and market insight into sharp positioning, and make sure every touchpoint tells a clear, consistent, market-led story.

Contribute to go-to-market and planning for new launches and relaunches, from pre-launch through post-launch review
Prepare retailer-facing and internal launch materials, including sell-in decks, product one-pagers and training content
Product lifecycle and portfolio
- Partner with the innovation team on the pipeline, offering input on consumer need, competitive gaps and commercial potential
- Contribute to range strategy, pricing and packaging perspectives and hero-product prioritisation

- Enablement and collaboration
- Equip the copy and creative team with the briefs and information needed to tell the product story consistently
- Help brief creative, copy and content teams with clear insight-led direction on new product launches to enable them to plan for their channels
- Support the education team to help train customer service, retail partners and sales teams on product knowledge and key product messages
- Work with Regulatory, Legal and Compliance team to ensure claims are substantiated and that we are not at risk
