About the role

Paula’s Choice, a global skincare leader that empowers individuals to define beauty on their own terms through science-backed products. We are an ambitious fast-growing brand with an inspiring mission: we uncover the truth about skincare and deliver smart, safe products based on scientific research, without gimmicks and misleading claims. Part of Unilever Prestige Brands since 2021, our mission comes to life through four core values that guide our actions, decisions, and impact:

  • Build Trust: We set the standard for skincare, transparency, and shared knowledge.
  • Be Bold: We lead through innovation and by challenging the status quo.
  • Act with Kindness: We operate with respect and care—for our customers, colleagues, and the planet.
  • Create Community: We believe in the power of connection—whether educating customers, supporting each other, or giving back, we grow stronger together.

Our Global Headquarters remains at the heart of the brand, where it was founded by Paula Begoun in 1995, Seattle. Our European headquarters are in the Netherlands and local offices in selected European countries like London, Berlin and Paris. We market our skincare via different business models: direct-to-consumer via our own websites, marketplaces and selected retail partners, including Sephora, Galleries Lafayette, Space NK, Douglas and many more.

We’re a rapidly growing entrepreneurial team that thrives on change, prioritising a culture of feedback and inclusivity. Our culture encourages continuous learning and is fuelled by connection, curiosity, and cross-functional collaboration.

Paula’s Choice is committed to diversity! Our customers come from all walks of life and so do we. We hire great people from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our enthusiasm for empowering people to achieve their own definition of beautiful, Paula’s Choice could be a wonderful fit for you.

Does this sound inspiring? That’s great! Because we’d love to get to know you. We are looking for a
