Head of Editorial | 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-lusted-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. Cult Beauty has become the successful world leader it is because of our people. We're a close-knit family that recognises that our collective and community are much more valuable than the sum of their parts. 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.
