Working at PROVEN:

A couple of years ago, we didn’t exist. Now we’re a small, yet mighty, team of 30. We work hard; we have fun; and we think big. We’re as diverse as we are interesting; amongst us we have lived in over 15 countries; we’re data geeks, operators, beauty aficionados, brand builders, AI experts, high-heel collecting individuals who come together to shake up the status quo:

  • Work flexibly - we are fully distributed with employees in CA, NY, IL, FL, & DC, and you can work from the convenience of your own home
  • Unlimited paid time off (covering vacation, paid bereavement, and family sick leave) - every employee needs time to take care of themselves and their family
  • Exclusive employee subscription discounts and SWAG - to ensure you experience the magic of PROVEN’s products (and give us valuable feedback!)
  • Comprehensive health support - insurance for health, vision, dental, FSA, and dependent care - your health comes first, and we’ve got you covered
  • Industry-leading 401k match - we invest in your future
  • Company-wide events & outings - those who play together, stay together!

PROVEN is an equal opportunity employer. In accordance with applicable law, we prohibit discrimination against any applicant or employee based on any legally-recognized basis, including, but not limited to: race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, lactation, childbirth or related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, age (40 and over), national origin or ancestry, citizenship status, physical or mental disability, genetic information (including testing and characteristics), veteran status, uniformed service member status or any other status protected by federal, state or local law.

Why you should join Proven

At PROVEN, we have built the most comprehensive database the beauty industry has ever seen, having analyzed over 8 million skin care reviews, on more than 100,000 products, 20,000 ingredients, and 4000 academic peer reviewed papers. This database is nicknamed the Beauty Genome Project. We then use the data and machine learning to tailor-make beauty products that actually work, because they are formulated specifically for you own individual skin.

Customers fill out an online quiz (questions cover age, ethnicity, lifestyle, and geographic location) to receive a unique skin profile and set of skincare products based on findings from the Beauty Genome Project.

We are changing not just the way that consumers discover and buy beauty products, but also how CPG companies are operated, with less wasteful, more targeted marketing, more efficient inventory turnover, and longer customer life time value using data and personalization.

PROVEN was selected to be in the Oscars gift basket to this year's nominees, and has been featured in New Beauty, Fast Company, TechCrunch, the Verge, and the Huffington Post.

PROVEN had just graduated from Y Combinator. We were also selected to be in this Sephora's Beauty Innovation accelerator, and had just won MIT's AI Startup Idol award of the year.
