• Help ensure all creative assets are aligned with brand guidelines and meet visual quality standards.
• Collaborate with photographers, producers, and designers to uphold creative intent and brand standards.
• Assistance in retouching product and talent photography.
• Explore and apply AI-powered tools (e.g., Adobe Firefly, DALL·E, Retouch4me) to streamline image editing processes.

Requirements

• 1–2 years of AI content creation and image retouching experience (professional or internship).
• Mastery of AI-powered or generative image tools (e.g. Adobe Firefly, Leonardo.ai, Midjourney, ImagenUltra, Veo3, etc.).
• Highly proficient in Adobe CS (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), CaptureOne, and Figma a plus.
• Strong understanding of image quality, resolution, color profiles, and export specs.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• Exceptional attention to detail and proven to self-manage multiple overlapping workstreams.
• A portfolio showcasing AI-generated work.
