Since its launch in 1992, ANESSA, a sunscreen brand, has continued to evolve as a sun-care expert brand, drawing on its strong technological capabilities and brand equity. It is currently available in 14 countries and regions across Asia and boasts the highest sales in Asia (according to Euromonitor). We are now recruiting for the ANESSA brand headquarters (HQ) organization to support further business growth and strengthen the organization. ANESSA HQ works to maximize the brand’s value globally through brand, product, and communication strategies, and plays a key role in planning and executing strategies for brand growth. The organization has an open, welcoming culture grounded in “open communication.” It respects each person’s expertise and gives members significant autonomy to drive their work independently. We are seeking someone who can hit the ground running and lead this work. You will develop hypotheses from the perspectives of markets, brands, consumers, customers, and competitors; conduct research; gather and analyze necessary data and information; identify and organize brand challenges in communications; and clarify priorities.

As part of brand HQ, you will work at the heart of brand, product, and communication strategy, delivering strategies and messages from a Japanese-origin brand that influence countries across Asia to consumers around the world. You will be involved in every stage of brand building, from market analysis, insight development, and communication strategy planning to global campaign development, TV commercials and digital creative production, and guideline design. You will collaborate with a diverse range of professionals, including headquarters, regional and country teams, global agencies, creators, and internal teams, including overseas regional teams. In an open and flat organizational culture, you can share ideas and take on challenges with a sense of ownership, regardless of seniority or position.
