LUSH X AI Coordinator *Internal applications only*

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.

Overview:
AI as a concept has been around for 65 years or more, but its use and technological advancement has accelerated at lightning speed in recent years with the arrival of Generative AI (Gen-AI) and we now see AI integrated into all aspects of society and our everyday lives. We have always embraced technology and digital innovation as part of our creative spirit and competitive edge at Lush, and recognise that if we do not actively engage with AI we could risk falling behind. At the same time, we are committed to doing so thoughtfully, with active consideration of the ethical risks that come with AI and in line with our wider Digital Ethics policies.

As a first step, we have developed AI Guiding Principles with accompanying training to provide clear guidance on where and how AI can be used within our business which will help to develop best practice and help build on our shared AI literacy and professional skills needed to benefit from the use of AI with continuous improvement.

This role will support the AI Working Group with the coordination, project management and on-going roll-out and adoption of the AI Guiding Principles and Training, working with various teams to develop internal best practice and support the on-going integration and management of AI in the business.
