Building the team behind global beauty growth.

An international recruitment partnership supporting Sol de Janeiro with 18 appointments spanning commercial, marketing, creative, ecommerce, visual merchandising and finance.

The Partnership

Scaling a distinctive beauty brand across markets and functions.

Sol de Janeiro has built a globally recognised beauty brand around distinctive products, bold creative and a highly identifiable consumer proposition.

The relationship has developed into a multi-hire partnership covering 18 recorded appointments.

That breadth gives Consumer Exec an increasingly detailed understanding of the organisation, the brand and the profile of talent required to operate effectively within a fast-moving international consumer business.

The Brief

Build capability without losing the energy behind the brand.

Sol de Janeiro required talent capable of operating effectively within a fast-growing international beauty organisation while understanding the strength and personality of the brand.

The searches covered very different disciplines, from country leadership and sales through to product marketing, trade marketing, creative, visual merchandising, ecommerce and financial planning.

That required Consumer Exec to look beyond functional experience alone and consider how candidates would work within an entrepreneurial consumer environment where pace, collaboration and brand understanding are all critical.

The challenge was not simply finding experience. It was finding people capable of applying that experience inside a distinctive, rapidly evolving global brand.

Our Approach

Search driven by the market, not the database.

Understand the growth agenda

Each assignment began with the role the hire needed to play in the wider organisation, not simply the requirements written into a job description.

Map specialist markets

We searched across relevant beauty, premium consumer and adjacent businesses to identify proven and emerging talent.

Engage exceptional people

Direct search enabled us to reach high-calibre candidates beyond the active market and introduce opportunities individually.

Assess beyond the CV

Experience mattered, but so did pace, commercial judgement, adaptability and the ability to understand and represent the Sol de Janeiro brand.

A Multi-Function Partnership

18 appointments across commercial, creative and operational growth.

The scale of the Sol de Janeiro relationship is best understood through its breadth.

Consumer Exec has supported appointments across country leadership, sales, ecommerce, marketing, creative, visual merchandising and finance.

Alongside the senior appointments highlighted above, the wider placement record includes National Account Managers, Product Marketing, Trade Marketing, Sales & Marketing, Key Account Management and other specialist roles.

Each successful assignment increases our understanding of the organisation and creates a stronger platform for subsequent searches as its requirements continue to evolve.

Partnership Perspective

Eighteen appointments across different markets and disciplines, united by the same requirement: people who can perform at pace without losing sight of the brand.
