Description

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It’s what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future. In short, we see you, we celebrate you, we want you!

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there’s more to this great‑smelling, partly employee‑owned, family‑run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good. The Living Wage Foundation’s statement "a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay" is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK. As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what’s inside that counts – whether that’s an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

The Role

We’re looking for a creative, visually driven thinker to help shape and deliver campaign ideas that celebrate our brand and products. You’ll collaborate with senior creatives, designers, and marketing leads to create bold, meaningful campaigns that embody Lush’s values and connect emotionally with our audiences. This role is hands‑on with concepting, design, and visual storytelling, helping to bring ideas to life across film, photography, and digital channels. It is an in‑office role (minimum 3 days per week), based at the heart of campaign creation and creative collaboration.

Please note: We may close this vacancy early if we receive an overwhelming response or our business requirements change.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the creative direction for brand campaigns, seasonal stories, and product launches.
• Contribute fresh, thoughtful ideas during concepting sessions, shaping visuals and campaign narratives.
• Partner with designers, copywriters, photographers, and producers to bring creative concepts to life.
• Support the planning and execution of shoots from mood‑boarding to art direction on set.
• Participate in creative reviews, taking and giving feedback constructively to strengthen the final output.
• Translate brand and marketing goals into visually engaging, emotionally resonant creative work.
• Stay curious about visual culture, trends, and design movements to keep our work fresh, inclusive, and relevant.
• Manage day‑to‑day creative tasks and timelines with care and attention to detail.
• Learn from senior creatives and take on increasing responsibility over time developing leadership confidence and cross‑team collaboration skills.

Skills, Knowledge and Expertise

• Experience in art direction or design for campaigns (ideally within lifestyle, beauty, or retail).
• Strong design background with hands‑on skills in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator).
• A keen eye for composition, colour, and visual storytelling.
• Able to turn concepts into visuals and follow them through to execution.
• Collaborative, open‑minded, and proactive and comfortable working in fast‑moving creative environments.
• Interested in developing leadership skills and learning from experienced creatives.
• Passionate about ethical beauty, sustainability, and creativity with purpose.

Benefits

• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• 6 months of full pay for parental leave (primary caregiver must qualify for SMP)
• Enhanced paternity leave
• Bonus scheme
• Day off for weekday birthdays
• Holiday purchase scheme
• 50% discount on Lush products and spa treatments
• Cycle to work scheme
• Discounted rail and bus season tickets
• Employee assistance programme
• We’re 10% Employee Owned – all colleagues play a role in protecting our ethics, our independence, contributing ideas for the future and sharing in the rewards of success when the company is doing well.
• Support groups, film nights, yoga, meditation sessions and much more
• Tailored gender affirming care
