Job description

Skin + Me is a mission driven start-up with seriously big skin goals.

We’re looking for an experienced Midweight Designer to join our Creative Team at Skin + Me. This is a hybrid working role with three days a week in our Paddington HQ (Mon, Tue, Fri) and two days remote.

About the role

We’re looking for a hands‑on Midweight Graphic Designer to join the Skin + Me Creative Team. You’ll concept, execute and deliver artwork across both print and digital – from paid social campaigns and CRM to retail VM and packaging. You’ll work closely with Growth, Copy, Retail and Commercial teams to bring ideas to life that elevate our brand and drive performance.

This role suits someone who enjoys both conceptual thinking and detailed execution, and who is confident working both autonomously and collaboratively. Experience in beauty or a visually led consumer brand is highly beneficial.

The ideal candidate will have around 4+ years experience as a Midweight Designer, and have previously worked in the beauty industry.

What you’ll do

• Work closely with internal teams to deliver impactful, on‑brand creative that aligns with our company goals.
• Conceptualise and produce digital artwork across digital and print touchpoints (paid social, email, landing pages, OOH, retail assets, affiliates, organic social).
• Create print‑ready artwork including packaging and promotional collateral (packaging, PR events collateral, VM for Retail).
• Support on‑brand campaign photoshoots: moodboarding, pre‑production, props and sample sourcing, on‑set support and post‑production.
• Champion brand guidelines for consistency and quality across every channel.
• Provide guidance and feedback to junior designers when needed.

Who you are

These are the skills we’re looking for. Even if you don’t tick every box, but feel you’re right for us, we’d still love to hear from you.

• Around 4+ years experience as a Designer (midweight level), ideally in beauty, skincare, lifestyle or consumer brand environments.
• Passionate about producing high performing ads as you are about brand campaigns.
• You have a strong portfolio showcasing campaign execution and digital‑first thinking.
• Proficiency in Figma, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign.
• Premier Pro, After Effects for basic animation and video editing.
• Experience producing print‑ready artwork (packaging experience a big plus).
• Curiosity and a willingness to learn, especially around new creative tools — including AI‑assisted workflows that can enhance concepting, visual exploration, and process efficiency.
• Strong attention to detail, organisation and communication skills.
• Ability to prioritise and work at pace within a fast‑moving start‑up environment.
• A collaborative mindset and a proactive, can‑do approach.

Why should you choose Skin + Me

• A daily challenge – in a thrilling, entrepreneurial start‑up environment, no two days will ever be the same.
• Make a difference – work within a revolutionary company that is focused on improving millions of lives.
• Serious commitment to growth – personal development is important to us and we’ll make sure we support your growth, and give you broad experience across your role.
• Support network – the Skin + Me investors and advisors that you’ll have the opportunity to work with have built some of the world’s best consumer companies.

More about Skin + Me

There’s a huge problem in the world of skincare: people struggle with more than just how their skin looks. They also worry about how it makes them feel and how to manage it long‑term. We’re on a mission to change that.

The truth is that achieving your best skin isn’t complicated. The secret? Using a stripped back routine with the best combination of active ingredients for your skin goals. The right products and knowledge make it possible to tackle everything from fine lines and wrinkles to adult acne, rosacea and pigmentation. We’re united in the belief that everyone should have access to expert advice, treatment plans and ingredients that work – minus the big price tag and the long dermatologist waitlist.

Skin + Me is a mission‑driven start‑up, building a pioneering online dermatology service powered by experts. We take customers through a simple online medical consultation and our prescribers formulate custom treatments that can’t be bought on the high street. Each one is personalised to the individual’s skin goals. It arrives in their letterbox each month and evolves alongside their skin – because everyone’s skin is different and no two journeys are the same.

Skin + Me recently secured £10 million in a series B funding round, reflecting the growing interest in expert‑approved skincare. We’ve raised funding from some of the best‑known direct‑to‑consumer entrepreneurs and VCs, including Octopus Ventures. Our highly experienced founding team comes from the likes of Facebook, Charlotte Tilbury, Tails.com and Graze.com.

Our journey has just begun and we’d love for you to join us as we change the face of skincare! Think you’re up for the challenge?
