Discover our Company Culture on Welcome to the Jungle[here](https://www.welcometothejungle.com/en/companies/prose) Discover our Company Mission & Vision in video [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwLYulX9wBU) We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Maintenance Technician to serve as a technical leader within our cosmetics manufacturing facility. This role is responsible for ensuring the optimal performance, reliability, and safety of all production and facility equipment. The ideal candidate will be an expert troubleshooter, a mentor to junior staff, and a key driver of our proactive maintenance strategy. You will be the primary escalation point for complex equipment challenges and will play a crucial role in continuous improvement projects.

## Key Responsibilities

- Lead and serve as the primary technical subject matter expert (SME) on key operational and engineering projects, driving deliverables and ensuring successful implementation.
- Develop, implement, and champion a proactive maintenance strategy, utilizing lean manufacturing techniques (e.g., SMED, 5S, Poka-yoke) and reliability-centered principles to transition from preventive (PM) to predictive (PdM) maintenance.
- Manage and optimize the spare parts inventory system, strategic reordering to minimize downtime and control costs.
- Mentor, coach, and provide advanced technical training to junior technicians, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and skill development within the team.
- Serve as the primary escalation point for complex and unresolved maintenance issues from all shifts, providing expert-level troubleshooting for advanced mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems.
- Perform advanced diagnostic and root cause analysis (RCA) on complex equipment failures to implement permanent corrective actions and prevent recurrence.
- Leverage the Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS-Limble) to analyze equipment performance, track maintenance KPIs, identify failure trends, and generate reports for leadership.
- Develop, validate, and own Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and maintenance documentation for all critical production and packaging equipment.
- Lead the training of production and technical staff on new equipment, proper operating procedures, and autonomous maintenance practices.
- Proactively identify and report on potential equipment obsolescence, system vulnerabilities, and opportunities for capital improvement projects to engineering and leadership.
- Ensure clear and effective communication between shifts and with vendors, leading hand-off meetings and documenting critical information to drive continuity and action.

Prose Values Intentional Inclusivity

- We know the best ideas come from open minds and willingness to listen. While our products cater to the individual, an invitation into our process is always open to our community.
- We value our differences and diverse backgrounds by communicating openly, managing with transparency and striving to understand one another’s perspective. It’s a key ingredient to our innovation.

Connected Collaboration

- Our strength as a group will outlast our efforts as individual contributors. With offices across countries, staying inventive and agile deepens our clear vision and consistent communication.
- We stay in a spirit of entrepreneurial collaboration: We do not have consensus at all times, but we trust one another to work toward our common goals. Our success is an expression and result of our progressive and gratifying teamwork.

Driven, Together

- We value ownership and coaching that encourages employees to think constructively and creatively about the business. We view employees as leaders and individuals who are accountable, resourceful and responsible. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to lead.
- We recognize that in order to continue thinking one step ahead, we will need to try new things. We strive to provide an open environment that accepts this truth, making space for new ideas to emerge.

Humanity Always

- We assume good intentions in every interaction, keeping ourselves accountable for the climate we create. We seek to understand our co-workers through this lens of conscious benevolence, authenticity and fellowship.
- We operate with the intention of preserving resources, creating an environment we can all live in – for our business and the world. Sustainable care is essential to our ethos as an organization. We take a mindful approach to how we think about our people (employees) and our planet.

## About Prose

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Prose creates truly custom, made-to-order haircare, skincare, and supplements powered by an AI-driven personalization platform.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B, later confirmed as $75M total funding)
- **Headquarters**: Brooklyn, New York, USA
- **Founded**: 2017
- **Founders**: Arnaud Plas (CEO) and co-founders (team includes Nicolas Vu)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Personalized Beauty & Personal Care (DTC Beauty-Tech)
- **Target Customers**: B2C consumers seeking custom-formulated haircare, skincare, and supplements for their unique needs
- **Mission Statement**: "One size fits none" – to create products that fit you (and only you), combining lab innovation, natural ingredients, and patent-pending AI for truly custom care and always-improving results.

## Products & Services
- **Custom Haircare**: Shampoo, conditioner, hair treatments, and styling products formulated based on a deep consultation (hair type, scalp, environment, lifestyle).
- **Custom Skincare**: Moisturizers, serums, and treatments tailored to skin type, concerns, and environmental factors.
- **Custom Supplements**: Personalized hair and skin supplements designed to support beauty from within.
- **Singular (AI Platform)**: Proprietary, patent-pending AI-powered beauty-tech platform that powers the end-to-end customization process, from ingredient selection to made-to-order manufacturing. This is a core technological moat.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: $165 million in annual revenue in 2024. Total funding of $75 million (including Series A, B, and C).
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Insight Partners, Forerunner Ventures, ISAI, Red Sea Ventures, Lerer Hippeau, Correlation Ventures.
- **Growth Signals**: 29% year-over-year growth in 2024. Recently opened a $9M, 43,000 sq ft state-of-the-art customization center in Commerce, California, to serve West Coast and Canadian customers, reducing shipping times by nearly 50% for a large portion of its customer base and reducing carbon emissions by 50% on downstream shipping.

## Competitive Advantages
- **True Personalization at Scale**: Prose is not just mass customization. Its proprietary "Singular" AI platform, combined with in-house lab innovation, allows it to create millions of unique formulas. Competitors often offer limited custom blends.
- **Vertically Integrated Tech + Manufacturing**: Unlike many DTC brands that outsource production, Prose owns its customization centers (Brooklyn and now Commerce, CA). This allows for rapid iteration, quality control, and a sustainable, made-to-order model that minimizes waste.
- **Strong Brand & ESG Credentials**: Certified B Corporation, Public Benefit Corporation, and Carbon Neutral. This builds significant trust with modern, conscious consumers.
- **Proprietary AI + R&D**: The combination of patent-pending AI technology with a dedicated in-house R&D and science team (led by a Chief Science Officer) creates a barrier to entry that is difficult for competitors to replicate.

## Strategic Focus
- **Geographic Expansion**: Scaling production capacity to reach more customers quickly, especially on the West Coast and into Canada, as evidenced by the new California center.
- **Operational Scale & Efficiency**: Leveraging the "Singular" platform to handle increased volume while maintaining speed, accuracy, and sustainability in its made-to-order process.
- **Product Line Extension**: Continuing to expand beyond haircare into skincare and supplements.
- **Sustainability Leadership**: Reducing carbon footprint through operational efficiency (reducing shipping distances, using renewable energy in new centers).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Mission**: "One size fits none" culture that appeals to people passionate about personalization, technology, and sustainability. Strong emphasis on DEI with Employee Resource Groups.
- **Work Model**: Hybrid workspace. Employees are typically in-office 3 days a week (NYC/Paris), but the company values "work-life harmony" and flexibility.
- **Notable Perks & Benefits**: Company equity, employee stock purchase plan, performance bonuses, comprehensive health/dental/vision insurance, generous parental leave (family medical leave), pet-friendly office, free snacks and drinks.
- **Engineering & Tech Culture**: Heavily tech-driven (AI, ML, automation, data science). The "Singular" platform offers a unique challenge for engineers. Tech stack includes Figma, Asana, Slack, Zoom, Google Analytics, Looker, Miro, and likely Python-based ML tools.
- **Growth & Exposure**: As a high-growth DTC brand ($165M revenue, 29% growth) transitioning into a multi-product company, there is strong potential for career acceleration and impact.
