Junior Product Development Specialist

At MECCA, we're passionate about creating beauty products that our community will fall in love with. As our Junior Product Development Specialist, you'll help bring new product ideas to life across our MECCA-MAGINATIONS brands, supporting everything from concept through to launch. 

Working alongside our Product Development team, you'll play a hands-on role in turning ideas into reality; coordinating samples, managing timelines, supporting artwork and regulatory processes, and helping deliver exciting new products that delight our customers. If you're naturally organised, curious and love the details as much as the big picture, this is an incredible opportunity to build your career in product development.  

The Role You Could Play 

You'll be an integral member of our Product Development team, helping keep projects moving while ensuring every product meets MECCA's quality, brand and commercial standards.  

• Support the end-to-end delivery of new product development projects across our owned brands.  

• Coordinate product samples, documentation, artwork approvals, testing and supplier communications.  

• Manage key operational activities including purchase orders, samples, shipments, timelines and project tracking.  

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Compliance, Supply, Brand, Quality, Design and Marketing to bring products to market.  

• Research trends, analyse competitor products and contribute to future product innovation.  

What You Will Bring 

You'll thrive in this role if you're someone who loves organisation, enjoys solving problems and has a genuine passion for beauty innovation. You'll bring: 

• Previous experience in Product Development or a similar role, ideally within beauty, cosmetics or FMCG.  

• Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and competing priorities.  

• Strong attention to detail and confidence working with technical documentation and product information.  

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships with internal teams and external partners.  

• A proactive mindset, commercial curiosity and enthusiasm for bringing great products to life. Experience with cosmetic formulation, packaging or regulatory requirements will be highly regarded.  

Your Life At MECCA 

While we're singularly focused on our #CustomerFirst mantra, we know that wouldn't be possible without our incredible team. Every day, we're guided by our values and inspired by people who are collaborative, curious, adaptable and always looking for better ways to do things. That's what makes life at MECCA so rewarding.  

Some of our team member benefits include: 

• Professional development programs and world-class digital learning opportunities.  

• Health and wellbeing initiatives.  

• Reward and recognition programs.  

• Access to bonus and incentive programs.  

• Quarterly product allowance.  

• Generous team member discount for you and your immediate family (subject to company policy).  

And that's just the beginning. From celebrating milestones to creating memorable moments, there are countless ways you'll feel part of the MECCA story.
