We're seeking a curious, detail-oriented Product Development Intern to join our Product Development team for 3 months with possible extension to 6 months. Reporting to the Senior Manager of Product Development, the intern will gain hands-on exposure to the end-to-end development of luxury beauty products, from early-stage concepts and formula evaluation to testing, and commercialization.

This role is ideal for someone passionate about makeup and skincare who wants to understand how innovative beauty products are brought to life. The intern will work across the Hourglass portfolio, gaining exposure to formula development, product performance evaluation, manufacturing processes, and cross-functional collaboration.

Assist with tracking project milestones, organizing development materials, preparing for internal and external meetings, and coordinating key deliverables throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Product Evaluation: Participate in product evaluations alongside the Product Development team, assessing attributes such as texture, payoff, blendability, wear, shade, and overall product performance, as applicable. Document observations, organize feedback, and help track product iterations to support development decisions and product refinement.
  • Trend Research: Research emerging beauty trends, competitive products, innovative formulas, ingredients, technologies, and consumer preferences. Summarize findings and share relevant insights to inspire product innovation and inform development opportunities.
  • Process Improvement & AI Innovation: Explore opportunities to streamline the team's workflows using AI-assisted tools. Research and test potential solutions, evaluate their effectiveness, and recommend practical ways to improve efficiency and productivity.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Help coordinate across internal teams — Packaging Development, Project Management, Product Marketing, Creative, and Supply Chain — to support seamless coordination throughout the product development lifecycle.
  • Vendor & Sample Management: Assist in organizing and cataloguing contract manufacturer samples; support communication with external partners under the guidance of the Product Development Team.
  • Documentation & Reporting: Prepare meeting agendas and notes, organize development files and technical documentation, and help assemble presentation materials for internal reviews.
  • Lab & Sample Organization: Maintain an organized sample library, assist with physical sample handling and labeling, and keep the development workspace orderly.
  • Other duties as assigned.

  • Confident communicator: You are a proactive communicator, interfacing effectively with a variety of stakeholders.
  • Motivated by a challenge: You enjoy tackling new tasks and figuring things out. You are highly adaptable to shifting needs and opportunities. You bring ideas.

QUALIFICATIONS:
