Norman Consultants recruits product development and innovation leaders for beauty and personal care brands — the executives who turn insight and science into the products that define a brand.
Product is the promise. In beauty, development and innovation leadership owns the pipeline — formulation, efficacy, claims, packaging, and the speed-to-market that keeps a brand ahead. It is a role that lives between science and storytelling, between the lab and the consumer, and between innovation and the realities of cost and supply.
We recruit VPs and Heads of Product Development, R&D, and Innovation across skincare, color, haircare, fragrance, and personal care — leaders who pair technical depth with commercial and brand judgment.
