The role
The Director of Design & Creative owns every piece of creative The Doux puts into the world: packaging, product launches, campaigns, social, ecommerce, retail, and everything in between. You'll be the keeper of the brand's look and feel, and the person who makes sure it lands the same way whether someone sees us on a shelf, a phone, or a billboard.
This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll set the creative direction, lead a small team, and still get into the work yourself.
How you'll work
Reports to: CMO
Works closely with: our Founder and the Chief Marketing Officer. You'll partner directly with the Founder on brand vision and creative decisions, and with the CMO on marketing strategy and priorities.
Direct reports: 2 — Graphic Design Lead and Graphic Design Associate
Partners with: Marketing, R&D and product development, sales, ecommerce, and outside agencies, photographers, and freelancers
Location: Remote or hybrid, with a preference for Atlanta, GA
What you'll own
Brand and creative vision
Own the visual identity of The Doux and keep it consistent across every touchpoint
Work side by side with the Founder to bring her vision to life, and know when to push back with a better idea
Build and maintain brand guidelines that are actually useful to the team, agencies, and partners
Packaging and product
Lead packaging design for new launches and refreshes, from first concept through final files
Partner with R&D and product development early, so packaging, naming, and storytelling are built together, not bolted on at the end
Work with suppliers and production on color, finishes, and print quality so what ships matches what we designed
Marketing and campaigns
Lead creative for product launches and brand campaigns, from the big idea to the final assets
Participate in photo and video shoots, including talent, styling, and on-set decisions

Digital
Set the creative direction for social, site, email, paid media, and all digital commercial channels, including Amazon and retailer sites
Make sure our content works for each platform, without losing what makes it ours
Use performance results to sharpen the work, not just to report on it
Team and process
Lead, coach, and grow a team of two
Manage agencies, freelancers, and photographers, and know when to bring work in-house
Build a creative process that moves fast, hits deadlines, and keeps feedback rounds short
Who you are
8+ years in creative roles, with at least 3 years leading designers or a creative team
Beauty, haircare, or personal care experience, ideally at a growing brand
A portfolio that shows real range: packaging, campaigns, and digital
Hands-on packaging experience, including working with suppliers and getting production-ready files out the door
You've worked closely with a founder or creative lead and know how to turn their vision into work that ships
Strong taste and a clear point of view, plus the confidence to defend it and the humility to change it
You can run a shoot, lead a brainstorm, and give feedback that makes the work better
Fluent in Adobe Creative Suite and Figma
A genuine understanding of textured hair and the community we serve
Nice to have
Experience launching products into major retail (mass, prestige, or both)

Comfort using AI tools to speed up concepting and production
Compensation: Competitive salary, plus bonus eligibility and benefits
