About THG

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?

Life at THG Beauty

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, a product developer and manufacturer, making it the industry’s digital strategic leader.

Who is Cult Beauty?

Well, we’re a beauty‑obsessed team who share a common goal — to become the most trusted beauty retailer in the world! We’re all about intelligent beauty, from the way we pick our ever‑loved‑after brands to how we talk to our exceptionally savvy customers. Our Cult Community values transparency and so do we. That’s why we only sell the products that truly blow us away and publish every review on our site. To achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with individuals who have the same vision. As part of the Cult Beauty team, you’ll be encouraged to share ideas and empowered to aim for the skies. We’re a team so if we fail, we fail together and try again. 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.

Why be a Senior Designer at THG Beauty?

We’re looking for a conceptually strong and detail‑obsessed Senior Designer to join the Cult Beauty Creative Team. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping and delivering the brand’s visual world across every touchpoint — from digital and print campaigns to packaging, social and experiential. This is an exciting opportunity for a designer who combines creative vision with exceptional craft. You’ll balance big‑picture thinking with hands‑on execution, creating work that feels elevated, editorial and unmistakably Cult Beauty. You’ll collaborate closely with the Head of Design, as well as copywriters, marketers and fellow designers, to deliver 360° creative that continues to push the brand forward.
