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

What We Offer

Competitive Pay/Benefits
A dynamic team
Location: Remote
An open mind for new ideas
Growth…growth and some more growth!
