We’re looking for a passionate and experienced Sustainability & Compliance Lead to join our MECCA-Maginations team. This role is instrumental in embedding sustainability and regulatory excellence into every stage of our product journey, helping MECCA deliver safe, innovative and planet-conscious beauty across the globe.
