We’re looking for a beauty-obsessed Creative Director. Someone with a clear point of view on the category, deep understanding of beauty culture, and the confidence to lead brave, experience-first creative work.
This role is about creative authority. You will own and shape the creative direction of N2O’s beauty offering, setting the standard for ideas, craft and thinking across experiential, retail, digital and social.

Key Responsibilities include:
- Champion insight‑led creativity, working closely with strategy to turn cultural, consumer and category insights into powerful ideas.
- Review and elevate creative briefs, ensuring they are inspiring, focused and strategically on point.
- Lead the development of big ideas across experiential, digital, social and retail environments.
- Build compelling presentation narratives that bring ideas to life and excite clients using AI, visualising and 3D to bring these to life in polished and impactful ways.
- Confidently present bold, inspiring creative work to senior clients and in pitch environments.
- Lead and Inspire, mentor and develop creative talent, particularly more junior team members.
- Partner with the Executive Creative Director and Client Development teams to grow and strengthen beauty client relationships.
- Understand and manage creative budgets, time allocation and resource planning.
