Description: 

Join BIC World, a community of brands dedicated to creating ingeniously simple and joyful products that have been part of hearts and homes for over 75 years. We are committed to growing our iconic and innovative brands by reimagining everyday essentials in new, sustainable, and responsible ways.  

Our culture encourages a "roll up your sleeves and get the job done" mindset, ensuring self-starters, problem solvers, and innovative thinkers can truly thrive. At BIC World, you are empowered to take ownership of your career and use your unique perspective to make a meaningful, global impact on our mission. 

At BIC, our Brand Managers are more than marketers—they are business leaders. As the Brand Manager, North America Men's Shavers, you will operate with a general manager mindset, owning the strategy, performance, and long-term growth of the Men's Shavers business across the U.S. and Canada.

You will be responsible for building profitable brands by balancing consumer obsession with commercial performance.

Working at the center of the organization, you'll partner cross-functionally with Global Category, Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, Insights, and Omnichannel Marketing to translate consumer insights into winning strategies that drive sustainable growth.

What You'll Need
