At Dr. Squatch (www.drsquatch.com), we're raising the bar on men's personal care with our line of natural, high-performance products.

We have been recognized and certified by Great Place to Work® multiple times, and we achieved status as a certified B Corp in 2023. We are looking for passionate, talented people who want to join us in our mission to inspire and educate men to be happier and healthier!

About the Role :

The Fragrance Developer leads the creative and technical development of scents across both core and limited-edition product lines. You'll serve as a key link between fragrance houses, R&D, and brand teams to ensure each fragrance meets aesthetic, performance, and stability standards.

This role balances creative vision with executional excellence — managing fragrance evaluations, leading DTC Limited Edition and flavor projects, and driving core scent expansions within existing bases.

You'll work closely with the Sr. Fragrance Developer and cross-functional partners (R&D, Product, Marketing, and Operations) to help bring high-quality, consumer-loved scents to life across our product portfolio.

This is a full-time, hybrid role with company benefits based in Marina Del Rey, CA.

  • Translate brand and marketing direction into clear fragrance briefs and feedback for fragrance houses
  • Participate in internal and external fragrance training sessions
  • Capture fragrance and ingredient market trends to support product innovation
  • Maintain detailed fragrance tracking sheets, feedback logs, and development timelines
  • Manage and organize the internal fragrance and flavor library, ensuring samples are labeled, stored, and documented accurately
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Project Management
  • Track project milestones and assist with cross-functional handoffs to ensure fragrance timelines on schedule

  • Partner with Product Strategy and Marketing on storytelling and naming alignment for new scents and flavors
  • Troubleshoot in response to overall development issues with Manager and cross-functional teams; start to identify possible solutions
  • About You :

  • Approximately 2 years of experience in fragrance, product development, or related beauty / personal care work – including internships or project experience – is highly preferred, but not required
  • Strong organizational and multitasking skills with high attention to detail
  • Proficient in Google Workspace; experience with Monday.com or similar project management tools a plus
  • Excellent written and communication skills
  • Experience working in the consumer products industry is highly preferred
  • Curious, creative, and collaborative — you're passionate about learning the art and science of fragrance development
  • What You'll Gain :

  • Opportunity to lead creative fragrance development across multiple categories
  • Exposure to the product development lifecycle from concept to launch
  • A chance to shape the olfactive identity of a growing and incremental brand
  • Mentorship from a Sr. Fragrance Developer
  • A fun, passionate team that values curiosity, creativity, and collaboration
  • #LI-TC1 #LI-HYBRID #LI-FULLTIME
