Photo Editor

Role Overview

As a Photo Editor at oCommerce, you'll play a critical role in shaping how customers perceive our brands. Every image that reaches our website, advertisements, emails, and social media will pass through your hands. Your edits won't simply make images look "better"—they'll make them feel current, aspirational, and worthy of today's premium consumer brands. This role requires far more than technical Photoshop skills. You'll need an exceptional eye for color, lighting, composition, skin tones, retouching, and visual storytelling, combined with a deep understanding of current U.S. creative trends. You'll constantly ask yourself, "Would this look at home on the Instagram feed of a leading American brand?" You'll collaborate closely with photographers, designers, social media specialists, ecommerce managers, and creative leadership to ensure every asset is polished, consistent, and ready for every marketing channel. Our brands primarily serve customers in the United States, and our creative direction reflects the expectations of the U.S. fashion and ecommerce market—not local editing trends. We're looking for editors who regularly follow leading American brands, photographers, and creative studios. Your work should feel modern, clean, premium, and culturally relevant—never over-filtered, over-retouched, or visually dated. Technical proficiency is only half the job. Great photo editors understand taste. They know how to create imagery that feels aspirational, scroll-stopping, and aligned with the visual language of today's best U.S. brands.

Key Responsibilities

• Professionally edit product photography, lifestyle imagery, and campaign assets across multiple consumer brands.
• Perform high-end color correction, exposure balancing, retouching, skin tone refinement, and compositing.
• Ensure images maintain a natural, premium appearance while remaining commercially effective.
• Match editing styles across entire photoshoots for consistency.
• Remove distractions, enhance products, and prepare images for ecommerce, advertising, email, social media, and print.
• Collaborate with photographers and creative leadership to achieve the intended visual direction.
• Adapt editing styles to reflect each brand's unique identity and target customer.
• Prepare production-ready assets optimized for web, social platforms, and print.
• Organize and maintain digital asset libraries and editing workflows.
• Continuously research U.S. fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and ecommerce creative trends.
• Leverage AI-powered editing tools where appropriate without compromising quality or authenticity.

Qualifications & Skills

• 5+ years of professional photo editing experience.
• Expert proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.
• Strong understanding of professional retouching techniques, color grading, masking, compositing, and non-destructive editing workflows.
• Experience editing ecommerce, fashion, beauty, lifestyle, or consumer product photography.
• Strong understanding of lighting, composition, and visual storytelling.
• Ability to maintain consistency across large batches of campaign imagery.
• Exceptional attention to detail and production accuracy.
• Experience preparing assets for both digital and print production.
• Strong organizational and file management skills.
• Portfolio demonstrating high-end commercial photo editing is required.

What we're looking for

• Someone with exceptional visual taste and an instinct for what feels modern.
• A photo editor who follows U.S. fashion, lifestyle, beauty, and ecommerce brands to understand where visual trends are heading.
• Someone who can instantly recognize when an edit feels dated, over-retouched, or inconsistent with premium American brands.
• Strong understanding of different brand aesthetics and the ability to adapt your editing style accordingly.
• Highly detail-oriented with uncompromising quality standards.
• Ownership mentality—you don't stop refining an image until you're proud to put your name behind it.
• Collaborative and comfortable receiving creative feedback.
• Curious about new editing techniques, AI tools, and emerging creative technologies.
• Passionate about creating imagery that captures attention and builds desire.

What we offer

• Opportunity to edit creative assets seen by customers around the world.
• Work across multiple premium consumer brands with distinct visual identities.
