A curated luxury lifestyle ecommerce platform is at an inflection point ahead of its full relaunch this autumn following a strategic pivot. The incoming Creative Director will be the first designer on the ground, working closely with the founder and CEO to translate a new brand bible across every channel and touchpoint.
