Product Associate (Design & Procurement)

About BarberBoss

BarberBoss is a British challenger brand in personal care, founded in 2020. We design “affordable premium” products across grooming, oral care and hair‑styling for men, women and pets, and sell in 10 European countries (including the UK).

We run with a startup mindset - a small, flat team, weekly all‑hands, and an AI‑first approach that helps us decide fast and ship well. As one of the few direct suppliers to Amazon in our category (Amazon Vendor), we convert insight into action, launching 30-50 new SKUs each quarter, with an obsessive focus on customer experience.

We’re also the Official Sleeve Sponsor & Shaving Partner of West Bromwich Albion, now in our third consecutive season. Our Singapore Office is the bridge between our European (and future international) markets and our supply chain - the place where Western brand‑building meets Eastern manufacturing.

Your Role

• 
  Be the bridge: Serve as a key contact between our UK office and the China procurement team, keeping everyone aligned on timelines and priorities.


• 
  Work with suppliers: Liaise with factories in China on samples, specifications, pricing, timelines and quality checks. Keep trackers tight and flag risks early.


• 
  Packaging you can ship: Use our packaging templates to create/update artwork so it’s ready for printing - product names, features, barcodes and safety icons in the right places, colours/finishes confirmed, files exported correctly.


• 
  Make listings that sell: Build Amazon product content - image sets, comparison charts and A+ Content - that’s clear, on‑brand and conversion‑focused.


• 
  Use AI to go faster: Generate quick visual concepts using AI tools (plus Canva and Photoshop), then refine and finish them to production quality.


• 
  Spot what’s next: Track trends and competitors; shortlist new products and identify new categories 2-3 quarters ahead.


• 
  Launch cleanly: Prepare checklists, double‑check assets and hand everything to the right teammates so listings go live smoothly.


• 
  Help us scale: Create reusable templates and straightforward SOPs so the team gets faster every month.


• 
  Collaborate broadly: Coordinate with teammates across product, design and marketing to keep projects moving.

What you’ll bring

• 
  Portfolio that shows taste and craft (packaging, e‑commerce imagery/infographics or similar).


• 
  Tools: Comfortable with Canva and Adobe Photoshop (Illustrator a plus). Curious to explore AI to speed up ideation.


• 
  Languages: English & Mandarin (required to liaise with Mandarin‑speaking suppliers/factories and read Chinese technical/packaging materials).


• 
  Traits: Hands‑on, switched‑on, resilient; willing to learn, commit and stay flexible in a fast‑moving startup.


• 
  Experience: 0–3 years in design, product, e‑commerce or operations. Polytechnic and university graduates are welcome - we hire for attitude and skillset.


• 
  Nice to have: Experience running your own e‑commerce/FBA projects; basic photography/retouch; simple video edits; comfort with spreadsheets.


• 
  Right to work: Already based in Singapore with valid work authorisation.

What you’ll get

• 
  Compensation: S$3,500–S$4,000 base + CPF (for SG/PR) + discretionary bonus
  


• 
  Leave: 15 days paid annual leave


• 
  Work setup: one‑north office with 1 WFH day per week


• 
  Perks: Annual dental check, learning credits (books/course/skills), health & wellness stipend
  


• 
  Growth & Exposure: Real ownership; mentorship; supplier visits to China; UK HQ training after probation (subject to business needs & performance); end‑to‑end visibility from product concept to live listing across multiple EU markets
