• Act independently and confidently to ensure coverage quality and efficiency.

Training and Mentorship:

• Assist in the training and mentor freelance editors in accordance with company standards, covering image transmission, quality, captioning, and delivery.

• Provide feedback on the editing processes to the managing editor to identify improvements, contributing to the team’s growth and excellence.

Client Relationship Management:

• Build strong relationships with both internal and external clients, delivering exceptional customer service for editorial and client-driven assignments.

• Serve as a key liaison during commercial workflows, ensuring client needs are met.

• Foster a collaborative environment, promoting respect, open communication, and a positive culture where every team member feels valued and supported.

What You'll Need:

• Strong editorial skills with expertise in RAW workflows, photo editing, and metadata management.

• Excellent communication (both written and verbal) and client service skills.

• Exceptional organizational skills with keen attention to detail and an ability to meet tight deadlines.

• Proven ability to manage time effectively and function in high-pressure situations.

• Strong leadership abilities and a passion for mentoring and developing talent.

• Analytical and problem-solving skills to ensure smooth workflows and resolve technical challenges.

• Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally, often on evenings and weekends (valid passport required).
