About the Job

Founded in late 2016 by Aimee Connolly, Sculpted by Aimee is an Irish-born beauty brand with a global vision. Aimee, who began her journey as a makeup artist after earning a bachelor’s degree in business, spotted a gap in the market for makeup that was both easy to apply and highly effective. Combining her passion for beauty and business acumen, she launched Sculpted by Aimee to create products that simplify beauty routines without compromising results.
At the heart of Sculpted by Aimee is a commitment to empowering beauty enthusiasts with multitasking, user-friendly products that deliver a glowing finish in five minutes or less. Our products are designed to enhance natural beauty, applying effortlessly and blending seamlessly to help our community look and feel their best.

Our 360° omni-channel approach includes a robust physical presence in over 500 retailers across eight countries and four flagship stores in the UK and Ireland.
Our product portfolio includes over 140 makeup, skincare, and body products, all proudly certified by Leaping Bunny and recognized with 40+ industry awards. With an extensive range of complexion products offering over 100 foundation shades, Sculpted by Aimee is dedicated to celebrating real skin and promoting minimal retouching in our social media and campaigns.
