Head Of LightSpray Product Integrity

In short

Safeguard the integrity of the entire value chain by defining, implementing, and continuously improving world-class quality and compliance standards across product development, suppliers, manufacturing, and distribution. This role embeds premium quality and sustainability as non-negotiable principles, ensuring trust, consistency, and responsibility at every touchpoint. Unlike a traditional senior role built around delegation to a large team, this position requires a hands-on expert who thrives in a cross-functional environment - working directly with specialists across functions, driving execution, and ensuring impact without relying on a large reporting structure.

Your Mission

• Define, implement, and enforce world-class standards across development, suppliers, manufacturing, and distribution.
• Build and maintain robust systems for validation, testing, and certification that exceed both regulatory and premium consumer expectations and ensure maximum quality consistency everywhere in the world.
• Champion a culture where uncompromising quality is a defining brand differentiator.
• Establish integrated systems to track and analyze quality across materials, processes, products, and consumer use.
• Engage early with development and manufacturing teams to design quality in, rather than inspect it in.
• Benchmark against best-in-class industries to drive continuous improvement.
• Monitor, enforce, and advance environmental and social standards across the value chain.
• Drive initiatives in traceability, low-emission processes, and ethical labor practices that reinforce premium positioning.
• Define measurable KPIs and reporting frameworks to demonstrate leadership without compromising on quality.
• Act as the consumer’s voice to guarantee every product is safe, durable, reliable, and premium in feel and performance.
• Translate consumer insights and market feedback into tangible quality and sustainability improvements.
• Operate as a functional expert and execution driver, working directly with colleagues across Operations, Manufacturing, Development, and Strategy & Planning and Sustainability.
• Ensure new facilities, materials, and technologies deliver repeatable premium outcomes.
• Anticipate compliance, sustainability, and market shifts, aligning stakeholders and embedding solutions into business processes.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, with the ability to influence, align, and engage diverse teams and stakeholders without direct reporting lines.
• Analytical and data-driven mindset, capable of defining relevant KPIs, interpreting performance metrics, and translating insights into continuous improvements.
• Strategic passion for quality and responsibility, embedding these as key differentiators that enhance brand reputation and long-term business value.
