Job Description:

Sensory & Consumer Senior Scientist

Wanting to celebrate and liberate the diversity of beauty? Our R&D Fragrance Center of Excellence based in Switzerland is looking for a Sensory & Consumer Senior Scientist. Reporting to the Manager, Sensory & Consumer Fragrance Testing Program, you will work with many partners from R&D and Marketing teams to ensure our fragrances and skincare products have the potential to delight consumers.

RESPONSIBILITIES

In this role, you will support R&D and marketing teams, providing sensory performance measures and insights for all Coty fragrance & skin care brands and their competitors (Luxury and Consumer Beauty divisions). The data from this group is used routinely:

  • By the Product Development and Marketing teams in the development phase and in the approval of final prototypes.
  • By the Technology & Innovation teams in understanding the effect of technologies on product perception and performance.
  • By the Fragrance Design and Marketing teams to feed a global fragrance library with consumer data.

You will work closely with the Consumer and Sensory Science Team, as well as Technical Perfumers, Evaluators, Technologists, and Product Developers to develop consumer-delighting products that are superior, characterful, distinctive, and technically performing.

Specifically, this includes:

  • Owning the testing phase by executing sensory tests: developing protocols where needed and documenting those in the Sensory Quality Manual, preparing samples, designing tests, creating sensory sessions on appropriate software, mastering lab techniques.
  • Owning data reporting: analyzing data with adequate statistical methods, writing sound and scientifically accurate reports, communicating results and findings to test requestors. This also means registering data in the sensory Performance databases, ensuring consistency of data, identifying gaps, and making sure to fill them.
  • Owning trained external panelists’ management: screening and selecting new panelists, monitoring panelists’ performance, organizing adequate training, registering attendance, and being responsible for panelists’ retribution with temp agency.
  • Owning data analysis and reporting of the fragrance testing consumer program.

Working at Coty means building brands to inspire and enable our consumers to experience the confidence and joy of expressing their beauty. It’s also about working hand in hand with your partners to achieve together the impossible, fearlessly kind to self, others, and the planet.

The Consumer & Sensory Science team consists of 10 people from different generations and nationalities spread over two continents, and you will work closely with several departments such as Claims, Product Development, Technology & Innovation teams, etc. All your team colleagues are focused on results and supporting each other to achieve their goals.

YOU ARE A COTY FIT

You have an interest in fragrance and skin care products. As an experienced Sensory Consumer Senior Scientist, you demonstrate a high level of team spirit but also a strong ability to work independently, getting energy from working in a fast-paced, diverse, and international environment. Other than that, you:

  • Have a scientific background – Master’s degree in Sensory and Consumer science – Biology or Chemistry or equivalent.
  • Have at least 2-3 years of experience in a similar role, preferably in the cosmetics industry.
  • Possess good statistical knowledge (univariate and multivariate), proficiency with XLSTAT or similar tools.
  • Have excellent software skills, mainly Excel and PowerPoint.
  • Have an analytical mindset with the capacity to manage different activities at the same time.
  • Are proactive, self-motivated, and a self-starter. Able to set priorities and respect deadlines.
  • Have a strong ability to engage with a varied audience, federate panelists, and maintain motivation to minimize turnover.
  • Are fluent in French and English.
  • Have experience with one of the standard Sensory packages (Compusense, Fizz, EyeQuestion).

As our Sensory Consumer Senior Scientist, some of the benefits you will receive are:

  • In addition to the salary, other benefits including lunch allowance, annual local public transport pass, 25 holiday days per calendar year + 3 floating days offered by the company.
  • Coty’s global omni-working policy provides the option to work up to 50% of your month remotely.
  • We believe that a more flexible philosophy of remote working will give everyone the freedom to choose what works for their individual circumstances and empower them to always perform at their best.

RECRUITMENT PROCESS

  • A telephone/online introductory meeting follows.
  • A first online/in-person interview.
  • A second interview.
  • You will receive a proposal with the terms of employment.
