You will be responsible for driving growth, strengthening operational excellence, developing a high-performing team, and ensuring a seamless and premium customer experience across clinic, online, and distribution channels.

Create a culture of accountability, clarity, and excellence
Drive recruitment, retention, and talent development
Set clear KPIs and performance expectations

5. Brand & Customer Experience

Protect and elevate the Embassy of Beauty brand positioning
Partner with marketing to deliver integrated campaigns

Experience

8–12+ years in senior leadership roles (GM, Operations Director, or similar)
