Job Description
We are the disruptors of the beauty industry.
Our aim is simple: provide beauty and health lovers the highest quality health and beauty products, made by the world’s best laboratories.
As the first luxury beauty buyers’ club, our products are sold directly to our members without the prohibitive industry mark-ups.
We are changing the traditional game by setting new rules.
We are looking for people that are not afraid to dare, and are passionate about change, as much as we are.
At Beauty Pie, we are not about exclusivity or privilege; we are about empowerment, self-worth, and teaching members that they deserve ‘a bigger piece of it’, even if it all starts with a moisturiser.
It's not very often you get an opportunity like this: We'll be asking for your input, guidance, experience, teamwork, ideas, and camaraderie, and we’ll navigate together the unknown, the mysterious and the upside!
