Job Description

Responsibilities

  • generate original ideas, set creative directions, and present them to clients with confidence.
  • get hands-on with the work, in the details, and sometimes on-site.

  • direct and elevate specialist designers matters more here than personal technical output.

Requirements

  • Six or more years of conceptual creative experience with a significant focus on brand experiences and events. Agency background is essential.
  • A genuine interest in beauty, culture, and aesthetics. You do not need a CV full of beauty clients but the category should be something you find compelling, not somewhere you have ended up.
  • Strong conceptual ability. You can generate an original idea, build it into a coherent experience framework, and communicate it clearly through visuals, narrative, and spoken presentation.
  • Experience directing and overseeing 2D and 3D designers. You understand what good looks like across both disciplines and you can give feedback that moves the work forward rather than muddying it.

  • An awareness of what things cost and how to concept within production reality.
  • Comfort designing for content creation and social capture. You understand what makes a moment shareable without making it feel engineered, and you factor that in from the start.
  • Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite is a plus. Being able to open a file, shift copy, or move an element around helps in a fast-moving environment. Deep technical proficiency is not required.
  • On-site art direction experience including set dressing, prop curation, tablescaping, and installation direction is an advantage.
