Diversity matters

We are building a brand that represents the people of the world. It's what you do that counts, and we are always looking to expand perspectives and voices to shape our future.

We see you, we celebrate you, we want you

Who we are

You might know us as the inventors of the bath bomb, but there's more to this great-smelling, partly employee-owned, family-run company than pioneering cosmetics. We believe our business should put more back into the world than it takes and demonstrate that capitalism can be a force for good.

The Living Wage Foundation's statement 'a hard day's work deserves a fair day's pay' is one that we are proud to commit to in the UK. As an accredited Living Wage employer, we put our people first and fight cruel practices like animal testing, promote regeneration, and show that it is what's inside that counts - whether that's an ingredient in a product, or the minerals in a smartphone.

The team

The PI team is a multi-disciplined function ideal for managing organisational change. The team has a diverse skill set, with members who have developed within Lush with an inherent understanding of the business and those with external Mechanical / Manufacturing / Process expertise from other business sectors. Process Improvement is not as simple as making a process faster or more efficient. We work in close collaboration across the organisation and at multiple levels. We provide expertise in solution finding for a multitude of challenges which can include increasing productivity & efficiency to reducing or eliminating repetitive operations and "working smarter". This includes our ability to evaluate data and produce & present that data to support business cases or development opportunities, whatever they may be. We also look at opportunities to improve our ways of working, this includes creating & implementing processes & procedures which can add value to our business and enhance the overall quality of what we do and how we do it.

We have a global influence, we work closely with our respective sites in the UK and across the World including Germany, Croatia, Australia, Japan and North America. We are constantly looking to develop ourselves and the organisation around us. We support "Lean" awareness across the organisation and progressing our own team skills & abilities.
