• Liasing with our buying and design departments to match colours and interpret design changes.
• Retouching a range of images from lifestyles to cutouts for various mediums, employing a range of techniques to achieve the desired outcomes - image comping, extending, skin retouching, extensive colour correction and more.
• Preparing images for upload to the website via a CMS, as well as preparing images for print.
• Helping to maintain an organised image library.
• Ensuring that your output is visually consistent and always of a high standard.
• Managing your own time effectively and meeting deadlines.

• An understanding of scripts used in batch processing and formatting of images and experience using Wacom Tablets is a nice to have.
• You’ll have great communication skills with the ability to liaise with multiple departments within the company.
• You’ll take direction well and work amazingly as part of a team, but you’ll also be a dab hand at working independently.
• You’ll have the knack to work quickly and always to a very high standard with a meticulous eye for detail and fantastic organisational skills.
