In this role, you will be responsible for delivering exceptional, industry-leading retouching across product, lifestyle, and campaign imagery — always maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, colour, and quality, while ensuring consistency with the FitFlop Photographic Style Guide. You will be a key contributor to elevating the visual standard of our imagery and will gain invaluable exposure to all aspects of FitFlop Photography activity, collaborating closely with a passionate, fast-moving team.

• Seamlessly switch between different projects, adapting quickly to shifting priorities and maintaining accuracy under tight deadlines.
• Guarantee all imagery meets brand standards — delivering pixel-perfect, colour-accurate, and visually impactful results.
• Collaborate effectively: Work closely with the Retouch, Photography, Social and Production teams, to ensure imagery is matched to the correct sample, the sign-off process is efficient, and deadlines are consistently met.

• Proactively communicates status of projects and workload. Working with a variety of stakeholders ensuring all retouching is delivered to CPA, communicating status and all expectations managed. Establish excellent working interdepartmental relationships through their thorough understanding of the product and ability to respond to feedback.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating a proven ability to retouch to a premium commercial and campaign standard. Ability to bring innovation to high-volume photographic workflows, reducing the sign off process while improving the quality of imagery produced.
