The Fragrance Development Group is on a mission to promote the health of our customers' minds and bodies through scent, providing holistic fragrance value that supports beauty from within as well as on the skin. We are responsible for the fragrance development and information development for almost all of Shiseido's products, ensuring the stability of product scents. In this position, you will be responsible for 2 to 3 brands per person, covering a wide range from skincare to body care, and you will promote product fragrance development and scent application research, including studies on physiological and psychological effects. You will start with scent assurance tasks, including fragrance-free brands, in an environment where you can steadily acquire skills.
- Experience in research and development in the cosmetics industry - Experience in product formulation development while being involved in fragrance development at a cosmetics company, or experience in dedicated product fragrance development at a cosmetics company - General scientific knowledge, as well as knowledge and sensitivity related to scent and olfaction - Business-level English proficiency (ability to collaborate and communicate with overseas researchers and stakeholders)
- Extensive practical experience in fragrance research and development or product fragrance development at a global manufacturer - Experience in fragrance development and application research at a fragrance company (knowledge of cosmetics development is desirable) - A mindset that respects others' research and enjoys open research discussions - Ability to communicate and negotiate smoothly with diverse stakeholders, including fragrance companies, product development, information development, formulation development, purchasing, and production departments - Strategic thinking ability to understand the organization's strategy and act independently
- Unique strength in "scent application research": You will be deeply involved in advanced research fields, such as physiological and psychological effect studies, which have been a strength of Shiseido for 30 years and cannot be experienced at other companies. - Rewarding contribution directly to the brand: You can develop scents, which are the sensory values that customers first encounter, and directly contribute to enhancing the brand's value. - A flat and supportive environment: With a small team structure and an open culture of mutual support, you can experience both product development and application research, allowing you to grow broadly as a researcher.
