• Influencer & MCN Partnerships: Partner closely with key influencers, celebrities, and Multi-Channel Networks (MCNs) to amplify brand messaging and recruit new consumers.
• Campaign Optimization: Monitor and analyze digital campaign performance (KPIs) to optimize marketing spend and maximize ROI.

• Market Intelligence: Conduct deep-dive analysis into the local hair care market and competitor landscape to maintain a highly differentiated positioning.
• Global Liaison: Serve as the primary liaison with the Global Brand Team to ensure brand consistency while advocating local market requirements.

3. Business Leadership & Sales Collaboration

• P&L & Budget Ownership: Own the brand P&L and manage marketing budgets efficiently to ensure profitable growth and brand sustainability.

We Are Looking For

You are a great match for this role if you are a strategic, agile, and entrepreneurial leader with a deep understanding of the digital landscape. We are looking for someone who can translate trends into business success.

You should have:

• Digital Virality Expertise: A proven track record of creating digital "buzz", producing engaging social-first content, and managing successful viral communication campaigns.
• Business Acumen: The ability to look beyond marketing to understand the full business value chain, partnering effectively with Sales to drive commercial success across all channels.
• Strategic & Analytical Thinking: Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to translate complex data (GA, sales figures, social metrics) into proactive business solutions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Excellent interpersonal skills to lead cross-functional teams and communicate effectively with diverse internal and external stakeholders.
• Agility & Entrepreneurial Spirit: High sense of urgency, a results-driven mindset, and the ability to multi-task and thrive in the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of a new brand launch.
• Trend-Conscious: A deep passion for the beauty/hair care industry and a keen eye for emerging digital, social media, and consumer trends.

Key Highlights for This Role:

1. Communication over Administration: Unlike traditional corporate roles, the ability to create "Digital Viral" content, engagement, and community buzz is the most critical success factor.
2. Holistic Ownership: You are not just a marketer; you are the "Business Lead" who works hand-in-hand with Sales to ensure ColorWow thrives across all retail and digital touchpoints.
3. L'Oréal Excellence: You will maintain the high standards and strategic rigor of a L'Oréal Brand Manager while bringing the agility and entrepreneurial spirit of a startup.
