  • Test-and-learn culture: Design and embed a rigorous testing agenda for the beauty category, ensuring learnings are captured, shared and applied across brands, launches and future planning cycles.
  • Audience-centric portfolio planning: Define and engage high-value beauty audiences using first-, second- and third-party data strategies, adapting approaches across luxury, prestige and volume-driving brand priorities.
  • Collaboration and innovation: Partner upstream with Strategy and Comms Planning teams, and downstream with Activation, AdTech and Data specialists, to turn strategic ambition into credible, executable and innovative digital plans.

Skills and Experience

  • Significant digital planning leadership experience across Search, Social and Programmatic, ideally within complex multi-brand, retail, FMCG or beauty environments.
  • Strong D2C and strategic capability, with the ability to translate brand and commercial objectives into detailed, actionable digital plans.
  • Advanced analytical and technical understanding, including experience using GA4, platform data, forecasting tools, ad technology and measurement frameworks to inform decisions.
  • Excellent client and stakeholder leadership, with the confidence to present complex media strategies, build trusted relationships and influence senior audiences.
  • A curious, commercial and progressive mindset, with a passion for the beauty category, innovation, AI-enabled capability and continuous improvement.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
