About Us

Bubble has never been just about skincare. We’re a clinically-backed brand built on empathy, honesty, and high standards. We lead with science, communicate with intention, and show up like the older sibling who actually has your back—supportive, smart, and never trying too hard.
We’re looking for a creative leader who gets that. Someone who knows how to take what’s clinically proven and turn it into something people want to be part of. Someone who can stretch a brand without losing what makes it matter.

As Executive Creative Director, you’ll lead how Bubble looks, feels, and sounds—everywhere it lives. From campaigns and packaging to tone, copy, and content, you’ll own the full brand and creative function. You’ll manage and mentor an in-house team while working cross-functionally across product, clinical, digital, education, and retail.

We’re not looking to reinvent the brand. We’re looking to push it forward—with thought, with care, and with real creative ambition.
