Are you someone who takes real pride in getting things right? We're looking for a talented and organised Retoucher & Image Coordinator to join our in-house creative team, helping bring our products to life across e-commerce, wholesale, retail, marketing and brand.
You'll retouch everything from e-commerce flats and hanging shots to editorial and location-based model imagery, working in a busy in-house studio with a team that genuinely cares about the craft.
You'll be the person who makes sure a jumper looks the same shade of navy whether it's flat, on a hanger or on a model, who versions out imagery precisely to whatever spec is thrown your way, and who keeps our ever-growing image library organised, searchable and easy for the wider business to rely on.
