We are seeking a Creative Director for an industry leading, beauty business.
A conceptual thinker with a passion for the pulse of digital culture and the ability to translate strategy into groundbreaking social first ideas, advocacy led content, product launches and purpose driven work across all media.

Creatively leading a small but prolific, talented, and trusted agency team, within a dynamic creative department. Bridging seamlessly with our in-house social content team.
