• Prepare, name, organize, and manage digital assets in Dropbox
• Help coordinate photoshoots, including samples, models, schedules, and location scouting
• Handle time-sensitive creative requests and quick-turnaround projects
• Work closely with our small team and pitch in across creative and retail needs when necessary

What We’re Looking For

• Strong knowledge of current AI imaging and creative tools
• Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, or similar professional editing software
• Experience with product, fashion, or e-commerce photography
• A strong eye for color, composition, styling, texture, and visual consistency
• Comfortable shooting products in a studio environment
• Ability to work quickly and accurately when deadlines are tight
• Flexible and comfortable adapting to changing priorities
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• A positive, collaborative attitude and willingness to be a team player
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently when needed
• Curious about new creative technologies and eager to continue learning

A Plus

Experience in fashion, luxury, home, or e-commerce; photographing apparel on dress forms; video editing; or working with emerging AI image-generation and editing platforms.
