Senior Manager, Product Development

Founded in 2017, Lume is a transformative personal care brand on a mission to normalize body odor beyond pits and provide people with outrageously effective solutions so they don’t have to think twice about odor. We are pioneers of the whole body deodorant category, with a portfolio of odor-blocking products including anti-perspirants, aluminum‑free deodorants, body washes, body creams, cleansing bars and laundry sprays.

Lume products are OB/GYN developed, made with skin‑safe ingredients that are gentle enough for the most sensitive parts and often referred to as “life‑changing” by our customers. In late 2022, we launched a men’s line called Mando, bringing our expertise to the men’s personal care category. From whole body deodorants to body washes, our product offerings arm men with the confidence to show up as their best selves as they move about their busy day.

Lume and Mando are part of Mammoth Brands, the modern CPG company behind category‑leading brands Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando, and Coterie. Driven by a mission to “Create Things People Like More,” the company is creating a new model—and home—for brands, founders, and talent looking to solve unmet needs, improve peoples’ lives and ultimately change the status quo. Even as we grow, we take extra care to maintain the small, scrappy, entrepreneurial culture that helped to get us where we are today: a company that people like more, that better serves its customers, employees, and community.

Mammoth Brands is committed to making a positive impact and donated over $20 million through our network of nonprofit partners to date.

The R&D Soft Product Innovation Team is responsible for all personal care category launches from concept to market for Mammoth Care (Harry’s, Flamingo, Lume, Mando) brands. We are a team of researchers, developers, and formulators who are on a mission to Create Things People Like More.
