- Twitter does count as research
- You’ll need to manage your time effectively to ensure you meet tight deadlines and proactively navigate around possible roadblocks.
- It’s not all creative though – your administration skill is important in coordinating the delivery and return of products within deadlines and doing recons among other things.
- Love is in the detail! We sweat the small stuff and obsess over improving our process and outputs so we’re always thinking, planning, and actioning best practices.
What you’ll have:
- You have 3+ years of experience in editorial + commercial styling for stills and video.
- The ability to meet deadlines
- An eye for visual composition and proportion
- We do not rely on qualifications but a bachelor’s degree in fashion, media or any relevant field is a bonus.
- An exceptional eye for detail
- An excellent work ethic and can-do attitude
