Promotool Establishes New 'Product Management Department' to Drive Fragrance Product Development

Promotool Co., Ltd., a scent technology company that scientifically studies and designs all fragrances (Head Office: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Scent Technology Research Institute: Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture; President and CEO: Kensuke Ogata, hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), has restructured its former "product planning" function and established a new "Product Management Department" to respond to business expansion and enhance the value it provides.

This department is an organization that collaborates with related departments such as marketing, sales, research and development, and manufacturing to manage the entire process from product planning to delivery, consistently promoting optimization of quality, delivery time, and cost. The department aims to build a stable supply system for the Company's key products. In the future, it will develop into a foundational organization supporting the Company's expanding business areas, including scent samples, scent space design, OEM development of fragrance goods, in-house brand product development, and urban branding. With the establishment of this department, the Company is now recruiting personnel who can oversee entire projects, engage stakeholders both inside and outside the company, and lead initiatives.

Background and Necessity of Establishment

As scent becomes an increasingly important element in corporate brand strategy and customer experience, the Company faces growing demands for faster and higher-quality product delivery due to business expansion and diversification of projects. Developing fragrance products requires not only specialized expertise in perfumery and R&D but also practical skills to properly manage the commercialization process and comprehensively balance delivery time, cost, and quality. With each project demanding higher standards in quality, specifications, and development speed, a cross-functional structure capable of overseeing the entire process from planning to delivery has become essential.

Against this backdrop, the Company has established the 'Product Management Department' as an organization that starts with organizing customer needs and, through collaboration with relevant departments, manages the product commercialization process while consistently promoting optimization of delivery time, cost, and quality.

Roles and Growth Opportunities in the Product Management Department

The Product Management Department collaborates with related departments such as R&D, manufacturing and quality control, sales, and finance to realize customer needs as tangible products and services. For products such as scent samples, space design, OEM fragrance goods, and in-house brand development, the department oversees the entire lifecycle—from initial planning to post-delivery follow-up—translating them into feasible specifications and project timelines. Furthermore, by managing delivery time, cost, and quality, the department builds a more stable delivery system and achieves overall optimization.

The department seeks individuals who can oversee entire projects and take responsibility for results while engaging stakeholders. Through the experience of organizing diverse project requirements and coordinating with internal and external parties, candidates can enhance practical skills in product management, process design, and quality and cost control. The ability to take initiative in business development is another major appeal of this role. We welcome new graduates, early-career professionals, and mid-career hires who are interested in fragrance, beauty, and lifestyle brands and can balance meticulous coordination with a holistic perspective.

The Future of Business Enabled by Organizational Development

In the short term, the establishment of the Product Management Department aims to improve the PDCA cycle of product development, enhance delivery time accuracy, optimize costs, stabilize quality, and increase client satisfaction. In the medium to long term, the department will evolve into a foundational organization that supports further growth across the Company’s broad business areas—including scent samples, space design, OEM fragrance goods, and in-house brand development—by leveraging accumulated know-how and standardized processes. We are seeking individuals who resonate with our corporate philosophy and are committed to building systems with responsibility for products. Let us use the power of scent to bring happiness to people worldwide and transform corporate brand experiences.

This is an environment where you can participate in projects supporting the scent creation for premium brands such as JAL, Kose, and Manpei Hotel, while also challenging yourself to build business systems. We welcome applications from those who wish to transform corporate and human experiences through scent.

Comment from President and CEO Kensuke Ogata

"To deliver the value of scent to society, excellent perfumery technology is not enough—we also need product management to consistently deliver it with stable quality. This organizational restructuring not only responds to our business expansion but also lays the foundation for future growth. We will continue to contribute to enhancing our clients’ brand value through scent."
