This is a hybrid working role with three days a week in our London, Paddington HQ (Mon, Tue, Fri) and two days remote.

About the role:

As Product Manager you will play a pivotal role in the Product function at Skin + Me as we embark on our next stage of growth.

  • Communication: Your excellent communication skills will enable you to engage effectively with cross-functional teams and translate insights into actionable, high-impact product decisions.
  • An Agile mindset: Experience of working directly with engineering teams, managing the product backlog, writing detailed user stories, and ensuring the smooth execution of product goals.
  • Commitment to continuous learning: You’re curious and self-motivated to expand knowledge across various disciplines, asking insightful questions and applying new concepts to drive your own personal growth as well as the wider teams.

More about Skin + Me:

There’s a huge problem in the world of skincare: people struggle with more than just how their skin looks. They also worry about how it makes them feel and how to manage it long-term. We’re on a mission to change that.

The truth is that achieving your best skin isn’t complicated. The secret? Using a stripped back routine with the best combination of active ingredients for your skin goals. The right products and knowledge make it possible to tackle everything from fine lines and wrinkles to adult acne, rosacea and pigmentation. We’re united in the belief that everyone should have access to expert advice, treatment plans and ingredients that work – minus the big price tag and the long dermatologist waitlist.

Skin + Me is a mission-driven start-up, building a pioneering online dermatology service powered by experts. We take customers through a simple online medical consultation and our prescribers formulate custom treatments that can’t be bought on the high street. Each one is personalised to the individual’s skin goals. It arrives in their letterbox each month and evolves alongside their skin – because everyone’s skin is different and no two journeys are the same.

Skin + Me secured £10 million in a series B funding round, reflecting the growing interest in expert-approved skincare. We’ve raised funding from some of the best-known direct-to-consumer entrepreneurs and VCs, including Octopus Ventures. Our highly experienced founding team comes from the likes of Facebook, Charlotte Tilbury, Tails.com and Graze.com.

Our journey has just begun and we’d love for you to join us as we change the face of skincare! Think you’re up for the challenge?
