Retail Partnerships Lead (6 month FTC)

At Beauty Pie, we don’t believe that the very best beauty products should be full of the excessive hidden markups that other luxury brands charge.

We collaborate with the world’s leading labs so you can get direct access to our exceptional collection of extraordinary skincare, makeup and more - minus the unfair extra costs. If you’d like to join us for the beauty revolution, here’s what you need to know.

So, what will you be doing?

External Stakeholder Management: Be Beauty Pie's primary point-person in dealings with external parties relevant to retail expansion, including prospective retail partners, landlords for potential flagship locations, and other necessary third-party vendors.

Internal Stakeholder Management: Be Beauty Pie’s primary point person in adapting Beauty Pie’s operation and bringing together commercial, operations and marketing efforts to be ready for transition to being a multi-channel brand.

Organisational Structure Development: Design and propose the necessary organisational structure for the new retail channels, including defining roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines.

Talent Acquisition: Lead the recruitment process for key permanent personnel required to staff the newly created retail organisational structure, working closely with Beauty Pie's Talent team.

Process & Documentation Creation: Develop comprehensive operational processes, policies, and documentation for the management of the new retail channels. 

Channel Launch & Initial Trading: Oversee the end-to-end launch of the retail channels and actively trading the first few months of operations to ensure successful establishment and early performance.

Knowledge Transfer & Handover: Systematically transfer knowledge, processes, and operational accountability to the newly recruited permanent Beauty Pie teams. Ensure a comprehensive and seamless handover, providing ongoing support during the transition period as required.

This list represents the best view going into the work, but given the new ground that Beauty Pie is entering it is expected that this will evolve once the project begins.

We believe it's all about mindset, great skills, the right attitude and a fantastic work ethic. If you’re aligned to our values, excited about the opportunity, and you’re really good at what you do (even if you don’t tick all the boxes) apply anyway! 

• Extensive experience in launching and scaling retail operations within the UK market, ideally with a focus on beauty or similar consumer goods.
• Proven track record in establishing and running wholesale and/or concession partnerships with major UK retailers.
• Demonstrated ability to develop and implement robust operational processes and organisational structures.

What makes someone ‘Beauty Pie’?

Our culture is our DNA. It defines who we are, how we operate and how we hire. And it all springs from our values, which are very important to us:

• Bring your ‘A’ game: We bring a growth mindset as we disrupt the beauty industry. Showing up at our best, and never settling for average.
• Be intelligently rebellious: We challenge industry and business norms with purpose, not ego. Bold thinking, creative problem-solving and smart risk-taking are how we transform beauty.
• Bias for action: Speed matters. We act with urgency, make smart choices and learn through doing - because momentum drives progress
• Be customer obsessed: Our decisions begin and end with the customer in mind. We earn trust by delivering amazing quality and incredible value with an experience that consistently exceeds expectations.
• It’s all for one (& one for all): We’re better together. Trust, integrity and collaboration are how we build a culture where everyone grows, contributes and thrives—individually and collectively.

We’re committed to diversity & inclusion 

As a business that’s based on fairness and self-worth, our commitment to inclusivity runs through the heart of everything we do. We believe that innovation and creativity come from having a diverse workforce, and are committed to building teams with unique identities, from different backgrounds and with individual perspectives.

We’ve got a long way to go, but here’s how we’re doing as of June 2025:

• Employees who identify as female: 69%
• Employees from minority ethnic backgrounds: 25%
• Employees who identify as living with a disability: 2%
• Employees who identify as female in our Product Engineering teams: 24%

Our ways of working 

We thrive on a high-performance culture where action drives results. At Beauty Pie, we trust our teams to take ownership, move fast and get the job done.

We operate on a hybrid model, with a minimum of three days in the office each week— with some roles requiring more which will be outlined in the job spec.

This structure fosters collaboration, maintains momentum, and strengthens our team environment while allowing some flexibility based on job responsibilities and business needs. In-person connection is essential to how we work, and we expect teams to be present and engaged. We encourage open discussions during the interview process to align expectations for the role you are applying for.
