What You’ll Do
Own Social-First Creative for Shark Beauty

Serve as creative lead and tastemaker for Shark Beauty on social, in tight collaboration with the Sr. Director Social Media, Shark Beauty and VP, Social Creative.

Develop social-first ideas that balance entertainment, product storytelling, and cultural relevance across organic, paid and influencer/creator content.

Ensure creative work is designed to travel (through sharing, remixing, and conversation).

Create, Direct, and Ship

Write, edit, and shape content across short-form video, stills, and emerging formats.

Direct shoots virtually and in-person, with internal creators, studios, and partners — from lo-fi to higher-production moments.

Collaborate closely with internal creators and Social Studios to translate ideas into scalable content outputs.

Partner Across Teams

Work hand‑in‑hand with Brand, Social Strategy, Influencer, and Media partners.

Help shape creator and influencer creative by providing strong concepts, direction, and feedback.

Act as the creative connective tissue between strategy and execution.

Raise the Creative Bar

Push for work that is culturally fluent, platform‑native, and unmistakably social‑first.

Identify what’s working, what’s stale, and where the brand should experiment next.

Contribute to evolving creative playbooks and best practices across the social org.

What Success Looks Like

Social content that earns engagement because it’s worth engaging with.

Clear creative POV for your brand on social.

Work that people share, reference, and talk about — not just scroll past.

Strong partnership with studios and creators that results in consistent, high-quality output.

Who You Are

6–8+ years of experience in social-first creative, content, or creator‑led environments.

A true hybrid: conceptual thinker and hands‑on executor.

Fluent in internet culture, platforms, and formats — you know what works and why.

Comfortable directing others but never afraid to make things yourself.

Opinionated, collaborative, and allergic to boring content.

You must submit your portfolio with your application.
