Associate Director - Retail & Activation Marketing at Murad

<p><span data-contrast="auto">Murad is stepping back into its breakthrough era—doubling down on the spirit that made it a pioneer in clinical skincare.

Its legacy spans the Environmental Shield/Vitamin C franchise (Essential-C and Vita-C) and category-leading retinol and acne innovations—all backed by top-tier beauty awards and a powerful foundation of 19 patents grounded in Dr. Howard Murad’s science-first philosophy.</span><span data-ccp-props="{}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Now, Murad is looking for a&nbsp;talented,&nbsp;consumer-obsessed&nbsp;retail&nbsp;marketing leader to&nbsp;drive&nbsp;the brand’s transformation&nbsp;in&nbsp;the US.
