Job description

PART-TIME ROLE – 3 DAYS PER WEEK

I’m currently partnering with a high-growth, independent marketplace that is on a mission to rid the world of generic sentiment. They aren’t looking for followers, they want a smart, opinionated, high-performing creative who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo, kindly.

If you’re tired of being a cog in a faceless machine and want to actually make a dent in a transforming category, this is the seat you want to pull up a chair to.

The Role

As the Catalogue Curation Lead, you will own the end-to-end creative curation of the product range. This isn't just about picking what looks good; you will be the architect of the standards, principles, and decision frameworks that define quality across the entire brand.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Defining Excellence: Set clear quality thresholds and build decision frameworks that guide moderators and creators alike.
  • Strategic Curation: Decide what makes the cut and what gets prioritised, taking full accountability for both creative and commercial outcomes.
  • Catalogue Health: Lead structured clean-ups and collection curation to ensure the catalogue feels intentional, cohesive, and easy for customers to navigate.
  • Creator Mentorship: Provide direct, actionable feedback to creators to strengthen the range and lead the briefing process for high-quality output at scale.
  • Commercial Synergy: Collaborate with Merchandising teams to use performance data and customer insights to guide your curation decisions.

About You

My client is looking for someone who has "strong opinions, lightly held" and values progress over perfection.

  • Creative Authority: You possess deep visual literacy and can assess work across composition, style, tone, and brand fit—even if you aren't the hands-on designer.
  • Scale Experience: You have a background in curation, editorial leadership, or creative direction, with a track record of evolving standards across large portfolios.
  • Strategic Mindset: You think in both individual products and overarching ranges, shaping hierarchy and flow to improve storytelling.
  • Confident Communicator: You can articulate creative decisions to senior stakeholders with clarity and build trust with teams who may not work in creative roles.
  • Balanced Perspective: You weigh data and stakeholder input to make clear trade-offs that protect long-term brand health.
