Creative Director (San Francisco Based)
NOT BEAUTY AS USUAL
Vintner’s Daughter is not beauty as usual. This beloved brand has spent over a decade upending norms in the world of skincare, setting new standards for performance and inspiring a community of passionate followers.
Drawing from her foundations in fine winemaking in Napa Valley, our founder April Gargiulo applies a novel perspective to the entire skincare formulation process. We move at the speed of quality, proudly releasing only three products over the course of eleven years. Each whole-plant formula is meticulously developed over a span of three to five weeks in a process 66 times longer than the industry standard. At every turn, we choose the highest quality, most effective option–regardless of cost or complexity.
Our company exists to have a profoundly positive impact on our community’s skin, their lives and our shared world. We take a stand against words like “correct,” “fix,” “transform” or “anti-aging” and instead nurture joy, confidence and gratitude in our beautiful skin. As a certified B-Corp, we have chosen to be carbon neutral and prioritize sustainability. From our very first sale, we have donated 2% of all revenue to charities supporting women and children.
OVERVIEW OF THE POSITION
The Creative Director will lead all Creative strategy, process, planning and execution for Vintner’s Daughter, supplying our team with inspiration and new ideas. This individual will act as a thought partner to our founder and CMO as we chart this next chapter of the brand, translating our vision into a compelling visual world and creating thorough brand guidelines.
