Brand Communications and Community Manager

To support the launch of a new venture by an established Beauty brand, we are looking for a passionate, skilled and entrepreneurial person to help support our public relations and social efforts.

We have demonstrated success in media, influencer, and celebrity relations under the established brand, and are looking to leverage those learnings with this new venture. You’ll work as part of the new brand team, but will also coordinate with the established brand's PR team and benefit from their learnings, relationships and experience.

Our ideal candidate has proven experience in both public relations and social media, and comes with a passionate, entrepreneurial attitude. Launching a new brand is a unique experience, and you will have the ability to play a key role in its success.

We’re looking for someone looking to make a difference, stretch their skills to the next level and approach the challenges with a solution-oriented, proactive attitude. Clear communication skills, the ability to independently manage work while also working well as part of a collaborative team, and the ability to meet deadlines with great attention to detail are all “musts.” A passion for the beauty industry is important, as is experience working with a beauty brand; or, at a minimum, luxury CPGs.

This role will have responsibility across the full PR mix, including media relations, paid and organic influencer, our make-up artist program, and organic social. You’ll be the intersection between the brand team and our media agency, and you’ll also work closely with the digital commerce team on identifying valuable influencer affiliates. This is truly a unique opportunity for the right person.

This role will be based in Los Angeles, CA.
