Luxury vegan cosmetics brand distributed across 3,000+ retail doors globally
Hourglass Cosmetics is a Unilever Prestige portfolio company selling high-performance vegan and cruelty-free makeup and skincare across 32 markets. The tech stack is almost entirely marketing-and-retail infrastructure—Instagram, TikTok, Meta, YouTube, Pinterest, Gorgias, Oracle Planning Cloud, and POS—with no product-engineering presence. Active projects center on seasonal launches, in-store events, influencer campaigns, and social rollouts, while pain points cluster around forecast accuracy, supply risk, and store-level sales performance. The hiring mix is heavily sales-weighted (49 roles), signaling aggressive omnichannel growth execution.
