Glossier is a people-powered ecosystem, brought to life by engaging online and offline experiences. In 11 years, we have built an iconic brand that goes far beyond beauty. Our brand is built on trusted emotional connection, empathy, and consistency in how we show up for people every day. We are woven into everyday moments of people’s lives, becoming part of their routines, their self-expression, and their confidence.

THE FORMULA.

We’re looking for a Vice President, Product to help shape what’s next at Glossier and bring it to life in a way only we can. Think of this role as a carefully crafted formula: equal parts visionary and operator, with a strong dose of curiosity, taste, and follow-through. We’re looking for someone who can see what’s coming, translate it into products our community will love, and meaningfully involve that community as a source of inspiration, insight, and co-creation throughout the development process, leading the work from idea to shelf and beyond.

Reporting to the CEO, the VP, Product will set the direction for our product portfolio across multiple categories, building an innovation roadmap grounded in consumer insight, cultural relevance, and market opportunity, and expressed through a lens that feels fresh, distinctive, and unmistakably Glossier. This leader will partner closely with Marketing, Creative, Supply Chain, Quality, and Finance, and play a key role on the Senior Leadership Team to ensure cross-functional alignment, clarity, and momentum.

This role is all about balance: instinct and analysis, big-picture vision and rigorous execution, brand-building and business-driving. You will define our long-term product vision, create a differentiated pipeline of innovation, and ensure every product we bring to market meets a real customer need– while aspiring to create the next generation of category-defining, iconic products that only Glossier can deliver. Just as important, you’ll build and lead a high-performing Product team, fostering collaboration, elevating standards, and ensuring best-in-class work at every stage of the process.

The North Star: Build iconic, category-defining products with our community, not just for them.

If you’re energized by building, refining, and reimagining, and know how to pair creativity with disciplined execution, you may be exactly the ingredient we’re missing. So, is this you? Read on carefully to see what it takes to bring this vision to life from start to finish.
