We’re Beauty Pie. We’re the world’s first luxury beauty and wellness buyers’ club. And we’re disrupting the beauty industry, one face cream at a time.

Before we arrived on the scene, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to shop at traditional beauty retail - and overpay for all the crazy markups. Now, our members have access to shop from the best-quality beauty and wellness products (from the leading labs in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie.

As Senior Art Director, you will be the visual lead of our brand, translating strategy into compelling creative across all touchpoints. You’ll oversee the full spectrum of campaign and content development - from concept to execution - guiding a team of art directors, photographers, retouchers, videographers and editors to uphold and evolve our brand aesthetic. With a deep understanding of beauty, fashion, and cultural cues, you'll help shape the brand’s visual direction in a way that resonates globally and connects emotionally.

So, what will you be doing?

Lead visual concepting and multi-channel execution by ideating, developing and delivering impactful, beautiful, cutting-edge creative with strong storytelling
Create a consistent and elevated look and feel across all brand assets, considering all formats and channels, unifying the output of copy, imagery, video and design
Manage and mentor a team of creatives, fostering an environment of high standards and original thinking
Inspire your team to develop outstanding visual solutions in-line with the business’ creative strategy for all channels including the website, email, social media (organic and advertising), in-pack advertising, offline advertising, retail and event executions and more
Working closely with producers on projects towards the shared goal of delivering on-time, on-brief and on-budget
Collaborate closely with our Ecommerce, Social Media, Acquisition, Lifecycle Marketing and Communications teams to ensure consistency and cohesion across all customer touchpoints and to deliver creative solutions that drive results based on specific channel-led briefs and objectives
Direct shoots—from briefing photographers and stylists to overseeing post-production and retouching
Owning quality-control and oversight at final delivery.
Act as a brand guardian, ensuring that every piece of creative that goes out the door is consistently, distinctively and identifiably Beauty Pie

We believe it's all about mindset, great skills, the right attitude and a fantastic work ethic. If you’re aligned to our values, excited about the opportunity, and you’re really good at what you do (even if you don’t tick all the boxes) apply anyway!
