WHO WE ARE.

Glossier is a people-powered ecosystem, brought to life by engaging online and offline experiences. In 11 years, we have built an iconic brand that goes far beyond beauty. Our brand is built on trusted emotional connection, empathy, and consistency in how we show up for people every day. We are woven into everyday moments of people’s lives, becoming part of their routines, their self-expression, and their confidence. We are defined not just by what we make, but by how we make people feel and the relationships we build over time. Our north-star values are to be Human, Curious, Playful, and Helpful. We are driven by a shared mission to become the Most Loved Lifestyle Brand in the World.

We are open to engaging the right creative leader through either a permanent, full-time position or a contractor arrangement. We welcome candidates interested in either path and will determine the most appropriate engagement structure based on the individual’s experience, availability, and alignment with the needs of the business.

THE FORMULA.

Reporting to our Chief Marketing Officer, if joining Glossier in a permanent capacity, or partnering closely with the Chief Marketing Officer if engaged as a contractor, this role sits at the center of how our brand comes to life, guiding the look, feel, and voice of Glossier across every touchpoint. You’ll bring a point of view that is both grounded in who we are and ambitious about where we’re going, thoughtfully combining instinct, taste, and cultural awareness into a creative recipe that resonates deeply with our community while moving the business forward.

But the real heart of this role goes beyond the work itself. Regardless of the engagement structure, you’ll step into a team of talented and creative individuals who have experienced meaningful change, and your ability to lead through that (thoughtfully, intentionally, and with care) will define your success. You know how to create an environment where people feel inspired and supported, where creative freedom is protected, and where the right structure acts as a framework (not a constraint) so the work can come together at its best. You’re as invested in building people as you are in building the work itself, understanding that the strongest creative output is the result of the right ingredients, environment, and leadership.

You’ll set the creative bar, yes, but also the tone. Balancing instinct with perspective, autonomy with alignment, and ambition with empathy, all while knowing when to step in to refine the recipe, and when to let it evolve naturally. The result? Work that not only looks beautiful, but feels meaningful, and a team that’s energized to bring it to life, together.

If you’re someone who can lead with both vision and humanity, and knows how to turn that into work that people love, whether as a permanent member of the Glossier team or through a contractor engagement, you might be exactly the ingredient we’ve been looking for.
