THE ROLE.

As the Brand Experience Lead, you will be part cultural programmer, part community builder, and part producer. This person will define what Glossier means in London—making our flagship a place where culture happens, not just where it is reflected. This role is responsible for ideating and delivering in-store activations, events, and experiences that deepen community, drive cultural relevance, and give people a reason to show up, not just shop. You will serve as the connective force between brand, retail, and culture, building authentic relationships on the ground and translating what's happening in the world into moments that bring Glossier to life in London.

You will partner closely with Retail, Brand, Creative, PR, Merchandising, Store Operations, and Digital teams to ensure a cohesive approach to experiential strategy, and build an always-on programming strategy that transforms the London flagship into a cultural hub, identifying recurring tentpoles, local partnerships, and community moments that give Glossier a meaningful role in the city beyond product launch.

This role reports to the Director, Brand and Integrated Marketing and is an individual contributor role.
