  • Partner with E-commerce to optimize creative for the Winky Lux website, email marketing, and digital advertising.
  • Support Product Development with creative input for new product naming, packaging, and launch visuals.
  • Project Management

  • Manage the creative workflow from concept to final delivery, ensuring timelines and quality standards are met.
  • Source and manage freelance creative partners as needed (designers, photographers, videographers).
  • Stay ahead of industry trends, emerging design tools, and platform updates to keep Winky Lux creative fresh and relevant.
  • Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in a creative / design role, ideally in beauty, fashion, or lifestyle brands. Makeup experience strongly preferred, with the ability to translate product benefits and artistry into compelling visuals.
