Creative Lead

Role summary

AlumierMD is hiring a Creative Lead, Brand & Design to own and elevate the creative output of a fast growing, medical grade skincare brand operating B2B2C across the UK, Ireland, Europe, Canada and the USA. This isn't an execution only, brief taking role, we want someone who brings ideas to the table before they're asked for, who can take complex clinical and scientific evidence and make people care about it without losing credibility, and who's comfortable being part of early strategic conversations that shape how a launch gets told, not just how it gets designed. You'll lead a team of two designers, report into the Global Director of Marketing & Creative, and be the quality bar and creative conscience for everything that carries the AlumierMD name.

Key responsibilities

• Proactively originate creative ideas, formats and campaign concepts ahead of the brief; new ways to communicate, not just execution of what's asked.
• Translate complex clinical evidence, science and product technology into compelling, premium brand storytelling that keeps its scientific credibility.
• Sit in early stage strategic and go-to-market planning conversations, helping shape direction and then turning it into a tactical creative plan for the wider organisation.
• Lead, brief and manage a team of two designers, setting priorities and reviewing output to a consistently high standard.
• Own creative execution across campaigns, NPD launches, clinic and consumer facing assets, digital, social and print.
• Continuously improve how the creative function operates, briefing process, modular design systems, templates, asset management and production efficiency.
• Actively explore how AI tools can support ideation, visualisation, content creation, versioning and production, balanced with strong human creative and brand judgement.
• Support creative output across UK, Ireland, Europe, Canada and USA, working with regional marketing managers to adapt creative for local markets.
• Partner with external agencies, photographers and freelancers where the in-house team needs extra capacity.
• Maintain and evolve brand guidelines, ensuring consistency across every market and touchpoint.
• Present creative concepts and strategic thinking to senior stakeholders with confidence and a clear rationale.
