If you’ve ever wanted to take a high-potential consumer brand and scale it into a global success story, this is that moment.
TalentPool is partnering with a founder-led US beauty start-up backed by one of the most respected VC investors in the category. They’ve acquired a fast-growing early-stage brand and are now looking for an entrepreneurial, commercially minded Commercial & Growth Director to lead it through its next phase of international expansion.
This isn’t a traditional Commercial Director role. It’s a chance to build, shape, and scale a brand with genuine global ambition - working directly with founders and senior leadership in a high-energy, investment-backed environment.
