We use our proven expertise in science-based methodologies to impart our clients with the glowing sense of confidence and well-being that comes from discovering their very own personal style.

About the role

Our purpose is to empower everyone to look and feel their best through personal style. We have done this for over 40 years in our home market (the UK), have launched into the U.S with dazzling success in the last decade and recently entered the Canadian market in 2025.

• Translate brand strategy into clear, compelling visual outputs that strengthen brand clarity and consistency
• Partner with internal teams across Sales, Operations, Tech, Supply, Finance, Training, Franchise Relations and more to support key business initiatives
• Identify and implement improvements to increase the quality, efficiency, and scalability of design output across the organisation
• Balance the need for a coherent brand visual identity with multiple end-consumers of your creative output e.g. internal teams, franchisees, our franchisees clients, prospective new franchise owners, etc
