Apply for Accounting Manager

DedCool is a genderless fragrance house on a mission to build a new olfactive system. We are redefining what functional fragrance means, extending scent beyond the bottle into laundry detergent, car fresheners, lip balm, and beyond. Our products are clean, sustainable, and designed for everyone. We don’t believe in gender rules, we believe in personal expression, and we’re building a brand and a world that reflects that.

Our retail partnerships are where the DedCool world meets the customer in real life. From our largest, most strategic doors to the specialty accounts that define the brand’s edge, how we show up on shelf shapes how the brand is understood. We are looking for someone who can carry that responsibility with both commercial rigor and genuine love of the category.
