About KYN
KYN is a collection of sustainable, multifunctional, and thoughtful skincare essentials that really work. Designed with natural ingredients and high-performance formulas, our easy-to-use products serve the needs of diverse skin tones and types. Launched in 2023, the brand was born from the vision to transform cocoa by-products into sustainable resources that treat, hydrate, and protect the skin over time.
KYN is undergoing a major rebranding and preparing for global expansion. To support this initiative, we are building a best-in-class, creative, and curated intern team. As a Business Operations Analyst, you will focus on streamlining processes, improving efficiency, and supporting the systems that keep our brand moving forward. This is a superb opportunity to contribute to the expansion of an early-stage brand that has community, sustainability, and inclusivity at heart.
