Product Development Specialist - Accessories

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!
