Director Social Media Marketing

WE ARE STARFACE Since launching in 2019, Starface has transformed the historically negative experience of having acne into something joyful, relatable, and expressive. As the first complexion brand to combine efficacy and optimism, we’ve created a category of our own: effective, playful skincare that makes people feel good. We take skincare concerns once thought of as flaws and turn them into opportunities for self-expression—because it’s all just skin. From our colorful hydrocolloid pimple patches to limited-edition collaborations with fan-favorite characters like Hello Kitty and Snoopy—and fashion brands like Marc Jacobs’ Heaven—Starface lives at the intersection of beauty, culture, and community. Alongside our award-winning patches, we now offer salicylic acid skincare, pore strips, and lip balm. Many of our products, including Star Balm, were born from years of customer demand, reflecting our ability to grow across categories while staying true to who we are. Starface World is a positively uplifting place where everyone is safe and accepted exactly as they are. We support causes and actively work to help build a more supportive universe. That same philosophy guides how we care for skin: we don’t identify imperfections—we nurture what’s there. Our team is a growing group of passionate, empathetic, creative people who are eager to learn. We are committed to a sustained focus on diversity, equity, anti-racism, and inclusion. your impact @ starface Starface is seeking a Director, Social Media Marketing to lead the strategic direction of our social presence across platforms.
