Managing Director | Cult Beauty

We are THG, a global ecommerce group on a mission to be the global online leader in beauty and sports nutrition.

Our portfolio of leading retailers and brands such as LOOKFANTASTIC, Myprotein, ESPA, Perricone MD, and Cult Beauty form our two core businesses: THG Beauty and THG Nutrition.

From Manchester to New York, we’re powered by a team of over 2500 people who work together, lead by example, and think BIG.

With us, you’ll go further, faster. What are you waiting for?

We know that beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our portfolio of leading retailers and iconic beauty brands caters to everyone, everywhere, empowering customers all over the world to look and feel fantastic.

By combining our portfolio of owned brands with a marketplace for over 1,300 third-party beauty brands through online retail sites LOOKFANTASTIC, Cult Beauty, and Dermstore, THG Beauty s ambition is to be the global digital partner of choice across the beauty industry, supporting the channel shift to online.

THG Beauty’s breadth of relationships is unique to the beauty market; it engages with brands as a retailer, a brand owner, and a product developer and manufacturer, making it the industry’s digital strategic leader.

Well, we’re a beauty-obsessed team who share a common goal — to be the home of beauty discovery! Our mission is to unlock a love of beauty by inspiring discovery and self-expression through expert curation. We exist for All Ages, All Faces. We pride ourselves on being on the pulse of beauty, known for bringing new and exclusive brands and products to the market as well as being the place you can find all the latest trending, must have brands.

Our Cult Community values transparency and so do we. That’s why we only sell the products that truly blow us away.

As part of the Cult Beauty team, you’ll be encouraged to share ideas and empowered to aim for the skies. We’re not just here to sell the most unbelievably amazing beauty products in the world, we also want to challenge the definition of what ‘beauty’ is and use our platform to challenge the status quo — both in our industry and society.

Due to an internal promotion, we are now looking to appoint a new Managing Director for our Cult Beauty business in London. Cult has entered an exciting new chapter following our recent rebrand, which re-expressed the brand’s purpose, identity and ambition. The refreshed logo and visual language reflect what Cult has always stood for and set the tone for where we’re going next.

Over the past few years the business has made significant progress: we’ve strengthened our assortment, continue to launch exclusive products and brought new brands onto the platform. These shifts have laid strong foundations for growth commercially, culturally and creatively.

But the real opportunity lies ahead. We’re looking for a leader who can build on this momentum, shape an ambitious and innovative culture within the team and position Cult Beauty as the leading digital beauty destination. That means driving clear differentiation in a competitive market, not only through brand partnerships, events and community initiatives, but through digital marketing excellence in all areas.

We want someone who can harness channels like social, content, influencers, CRM, performance marketing and emerging platforms to deepen engagement, grow reach and reinforce our authority in beauty.

This is a role for someone who can inspire and galvanise a talented team, set a bold direction and accelerate Cult Beauty’s evolution as a market-leading digital retailer.
