Marketing Project Manager (Beauty & E-commerce)

Founded in 1971, ILONA Beauty is an established, family-founded clinical luxury skincare brand with more than five decades of heritage in professional beauty and advanced skincare.

Our commitment to innovation, premium formulations, and exceptional customer experiences has earned the trust of professionals and consumers alike. As we continue to strengthen our digital presence and expand our marketing initiatives, we are seeking a highly organized, creative, and AI-savvy Marketing Project Manager who can bring structure, accountability, and momentum to our growing marketing operation.

This is not a traditional project management role.

You'll become the operational hub of our marketing efforts, working directly with the CEO while collaborating closely with the Founder, designers, developers, creative professionals, agencies, and external partners. You'll coordinate initiatives across marketing, e-commerce, website development, product launches, customer acquisition, and retention.

As you develop a deep understanding of the ILONA brand, you'll gradually assume greater ownership of campaigns and strategic marketing initiatives.

What You'll Do

Marketing Project Management

• Lead multiple marketing initiatives from concept through execution.
• Build and maintain project timelines, campaign calendars, and launch schedules.
• Coordinate designers, developers, agencies, freelancers, creators, and other external partners.
• Ensure projects remain on schedule and proactively remove bottlenecks.
• Assign responsibilities, monitor progress, and follow up to ensure deadlines are met.
• Prioritize initiatives based on business impact and available resources.
• Keep leadership informed through organized project documentation and communication.

Marketing & Campaign Execution

• Coordinate product launches, promotions, seasonal campaigns, and website updates.

• Assist with marketing messaging and campaign copy using modern AI tools.

UGC & Creator Management

• Coordinate User Generated Content (UGC) creators and influencer campaigns.
• Develop creative briefs and filming guidelines.
• Manage creator communication, timelines, product shipments, and deliverables.

You should be comfortable using tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or similar platforms to:

• Develop marketing copy
• Brainstorm campaign concepts
• Conduct marketing research
• Create project documentation
