You’ll own formulation development across our full portfolio while optimizing our technical governance and processes. Perfect for a formulation leader passionate about bringing robust, high-performing beauty products to market.

Welcome to Trinny London!

  • Serve as the company’s subject matter expert in cosmetic science, offering technical guidance to cross-functional teams and supporting innovation.
  • Identify and mitigate technical risks early across assigned projects, escalating key issues with clear recommendations to ensure project delivery.
  • Lead technical investigations, root-cause analyses, and troubleshooting for formulation, manufacturing, and scale-up issues.
  • Define and review formulation testing and stability programmes, ensuring formulations meet all quality and technical requirements for commercial manufacture.
  • Oversee manufacturing trials and first production runs for all new formulations.
  • Continuously improve formulation development processes, standard operating procedures, and governance to enhance speed and quality.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
