About the Client
Our client offers creative DIY kits designed to make it easy for beginners to learn a new craft. Their kits come with all the necessary materials, including clear, step-by-step instructions. The focus is on simplifying the learning process, making it accessible to everyone, even those with no prior experience. The company has expanded its offerings and has become well-known for making this hobby approachable and enjoyable.
How they describe their culture:
- We’re a healthy business. We have no investors and with that, comes freedom. Freedom to make choices that are best for our customers, employees, and business.
- We’re an unusually small team for our revenue, and we plan on keeping it that way. We're all about getting the job done with as little busy-work and meetings as possible. Our team is fully remote, spanning so while we do a lot of our work asynchronously, we also know how to have a good time virtually anywhere ;)
- We’re on a rocket ship. We’ve seen unbelievable growth in our 3 years in business. Every day is a busy day, and the fast pace excites us. We’ve got ambitious goals to 1) make better products that make a significant impact on how millions of people see themselves, and 2) build a lasting brand that people more than love – that they obsess over.
About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Photo Retoucher to take our product photos from RAW to WOW on our product web pages and on the product packaging itself.
-
Get excited to work with the dream team. We are looking for a retoucher to collaborate with our photo editor, photographers, and designers to make sure every image tells our story and delights our customers.
You’re prepared for everything and anything. We use photos at every stage of the marketing process, from packaging and display imagery to online shopping pages and ads. You ensure images are perfectly prepped for packaging and/or digital use. An understanding of both CMYK and RGB environments (and the difference between them) is a must.
You bring whimsy to every pixel. When you retouch and enhance product photos, every fiber pops with brilliant, cheerful color and irresistible texture. You don’t overcorrect; the organic beauty of the product comes through and looks neat without losing character.
You know how to stay vibrant. Maintain flawless color calibration so every product looks as radiant in real life as it does on screen and shelf. You know your magentas, teals, and flamboyant yellows—and you know how to make them shine!
