The posting
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.

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
