ABOUT SARELLY
SARELLY is a fast-growing, entertainment-native beauty brand born in Mexico, building the next generation of beauty for a global audience.
Founded by creator and entrepreneur Anna Sarelly, SARELLY sits at the intersection of beauty, entertainment, community and commerce. We don't just launch products — we create cultural moments around them, combining product innovation, creator-led storytelling and a highly engaged community.
Since launching beauty in 2023, SARELLY has rapidly expanded from DTC into social commerce, marketplaces and physical retail. Today, the brand is present at leading beauty retailers including Sephora and Ulta in Mexico and is entering its next phase of international growth, including a major U.S. retail expansion.
As our physical retail presence grows, we want every SARELLY touchpoint to feel as distinctive, engaging and recognizable as the brand itself — while adapting intelligently to different retailers, formats and markets.
We are looking for someone who can translate SARELLY's brand universe and commercial priorities into compelling physical retail experiences, combining strong retail design expertise, visual merchandising sensitivity and flawless execution.
