Key responsibilities & impact

Lead, Make, Repeat: You’re not just here to direct; you’re in the trenches, making daily. You lead by getting your hands dirty—concepting, writing, designing, and even editing when needed. You move fast, iterate, and set the creative pace for the team.
Editor-in-Chief Mindset: You understand people, what they care about, and what’s happening in the culture of beauty and lifestyle. You don’t just follow trends—you predict, shape, and react to them in real time.
Social Performance Obsessed: You don’t just make creative—you study how it performs, why it works (or doesn’t), and turn those insights into sharper, more effective ideas.
Culture-First, Not Ad-First: You know that most times, the best work isn’t an ad. It’s a conversation, a movement, or a moment people actually care about. You have the instinct to create things that feel native, human, and worth engaging with.
Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with strategy, media, and production teams to ensure ideas don’t just look good, but work.
Pitch & Present: Sell ideas to clients with confidence, backed by cultural insights and platform knowledge.

What you’ll need

A strong, social-native portfolio showcasing your work in beauty and lifestyle (If you don’t have one, build one).
6+ years in an agency or brand-side creative role, with at least 2 years in a leadership position.
Proven track record of building brand love on social.
Deep understanding of TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms—you know what works and why.
Ability to concept, write, and direct with agility—whether it’s a full-fledged campaign or a reactive meme.
Experience working with production teams, creators, and influencers to bring ideas to life.
A POV on what’s next in beauty, lifestyle, and digital culture.
Your personal or past brand work has built an audience, driven engagement, or gone viral.
You have beauty and lifestyle experience (brand or agency side).
You can sell an idea in 15 seconds or less.
You have social-at-the-centre craft and aesthetics—knowing how to create for the feed, for the scroll, and for engagement, not just a polished 30-second film.
If your socials can get you an interview, you’re already ahead. Drop your handles, show us what you’ve got, and let’s talk.
