Influencer Manager

Your primary focus will be building and stewarding paid and organic relationships with skin professional influencers — predominantly Medi Professional Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and high-profile advanced skin therapists, facialists, and make-up artists. Secondly, you will lead two signature community programmes: the Pro Collective and the Pro Community. The Pro Community is our broader network of Dermalogica Professional Skin Therapist accounts who actively post about Dermalogica on social media.

The Pro Collective is our most elite tier — the strongest content creators and highest-impact accounts selected to drive Earned Media Value (EMV) and influence the wider professional community.

Reporting to the Communications Manager, you will work in close partnership with Trade, Education, PR, Creative, Social, Ecommerce, Paid Social, and Product teams to bring long‑term professional community strategies and brand campaigns to life. This is a role built on relationships, credibility, and genuine expertise — with real scope, real budget, and real impact.
