Den Haag Scheveningen, Nederland Naifcare BV Voltijd

**Product Development Manager**

Will you develop and improve Naïf products that help our customers to take good care of themselves, their kids and the planet?

**About Naïf**

When Jochem and Sjoerd both became dads for the first time in 2013, they realized that baby care products were full of harmful ingredients. Driven to make a change, Naïf was born.
- "Every human is naturally born naive: pure, honest and innocent. We want to keep it that way."_
- Jochem Hes en Sjoerd Trompetter, founding fathers Naïf.

Our mission is to change the world of personal care, and to protect and care for the environment that our children (and their children) will live in at all costs. So we choose to make personal care products that are mild for sensitive skin and less harmful for our planet. We were the first brand to introduce plastic-free wet wipes in the Netherlands, and we actively campaign against the use of microplastics in personal care products.

We have everything you need for your baby, from diaper cream to plastic-free wipes, shampoo and even sunscreen. The sensitive baby skin doesn’t need a lot if you ask us, and definitely no bad stuff. That’s why Naïf products are made with natural ingredients, and without mineral oils, microplastics or SLES. We choose high quality ingredients because your baby only deserves the best. Good care, worry-free.

**Your role**

As a Product Development Manager at Naïf, you play a significant role in transforming the world of personal care. We strongly believe that it’s actually very easy to convince consumers to choose a more sustainable baby care product. We do so by making products that are simply better and more qualitative than other brands out there. Simple as that.

We are proud of each and every product we make and obsess over the ingredients, the look and feel, and the environmental footprint. And we keep on improving and growing. That’s where you come in

In this role you drive the development and launch of new products in all of our categories. You monitor the insights and latest trends in our industry. You work closely with our sales & marketing teams to come up with a product development roadmap and are responsible for executing it. You ensure all our products meet the highest standards of quality, ingredients and sustainability and leave our consumers with a wow-feeling. You also work closely with our colleagues in the Finance and Operations teams to ensure products are delivered to our customers on time, and help answer any questions consumers may ask to our customer care agents.

Together with the Product Manager you are also responsible for the full development cycle, from concept, to development, to delivery of the product on the shelf. You are hands-on and pragmatic, and have a coaching and people-first leadership style.

Imagine making the next Naïf products and spotting them on the shelves? Read on
