Assistant Store Manager

Before Beauty Pie, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to pay hugely inflated ‘luxury beauty’ prices. But not any more. We make our exceptional, high-performance products in the same labs as other high-end beauty brands (in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) - and sell them for a lot less than you’d pay elsewhere. Because we believe everyone should have access to the very best in beauty - and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie. 

We are seeking a sophisticated and high-energy Assistant Manager to spearhead our presence in our first stand alone store in London!  As we enter our luxury retail era, you will be the face of our brand, bridging the gap between our digital roots and a world-class physical shopping experience.

Stationed at the heart of London’s beauty scene, you will lead a specialist team to "move the dial" on performance and prestige. This is not just a leadership role; it is a brand ambassadorship. You will provide bespoke cosmetic and skincare expertise to our members, ensuring our unique membership model is communicated with clarity and passion.
