We’re on a mission to become the world’s most disruptive, trusted, and attainable beauty brandglobally loved, always playful, and impossible to ignore.

To get there, we need a creative rule-breaker who can take us from bold to unforgettable. Someone who thrives on shaking up the industry, spotting trends in real time, and turning insights into fast, fearless, culture-driving work.

This is your chance to lead the charge in disrupting beauty—from packaging and product innovation to the way we light up social feeds worldwide. We’re scaling fast, going global, and we need someone who can move at speed, push boundaries, and make creativity our competitive edge.

About the Role

The title of this role matters. As Head of Brand & Creative, you’ll own both sides of the coin: the strategy, thinking and planning (Brand), and the bold, disruptive execution that makes people stop, stare and share (Creative). From briefs to content planning to judging and elevating the final work, you’ll bring it all together—whether it’s on our website, in our campaigns, or across social feeds.

You may lean more toward strategy or creative, but in beauty, what the world sees is everything. If you can show us how you’ve taken a brand from “okay” to unforgettable, that’s exactly what we’re looking for.

From day one, you’ll have high responsibility and impact. Reporting directly to our Founder & CEO, you’ll take ownership of:

  • Campaign Management

  • Content & Creative Direction

  • Organic & Earned Social

And you won’t do it in a silo. You’ll work closely with our commercial team—turning insights into action, reacting fast to trends, and creating trading ideas that are disruptive, culturally relevant, and commercially powerful. Agility is everything here: whether that means flipping a plan overnight, launching packaging innovation that makes noise, or dropping playful content that stops the scroll.

This isn’t a role for the safe or the slow. It’s about moving fast, thinking bold, and using creativity as a weapon for growth.
