Creative Content Lead Internship

Japanese-rooted. Made in Spain. London born. We're looking for our first creative team player to own how this brand looks, sounds, and grows.

About Active Drip

Active Drip is a founder-led skincare brand built on a decade-plus of life inside Tokyo's beauty world. We make barrier-first, fermentation-led recovery skincare the slow beauty philosophy of Japan, translated for Western skin. Rooted in Japanese science and ritual, manufactured in Spain, born in London.

We're early. Pre-seed, relaunching with intention, and building a brand designed to be acquired by a major Japanese or global beauty house within 7 years. The story is real, personal, and unreplicable, your job is to put it on screen.

The Role

This is the brand's dedicated creative and content team player , working directly with the founder. You'll own content end to end: the story, the look, the shoot, the edit, the calendar, and the growth of the channel.

We're not looking for someone to "make posts." We're looking for someone who thinks in angles, understands what makes a brand feel a certain way, and can build a social presence that compounds turning a deeply personal Japanese-rooted story into content people stop scrolling for.

You'll be given real creative ownership, direct mentorship from the founder, and the rare chance to shape a brand's visual and verbal identity from the ground up.
