  • Image Management: Oversee the processing, backup, and delivery of all images post-shoot.
  • Caption Writing: Craft accurate, engaging captions that align with media standards.
  • Event Coverage: Occasionally provide on-site editing at high-profile events, including evenings and weekends.
  • Administrative Support: Create call sheets, booking forms, handle photographers’ invoicing and participate in client meetings as needed.


What you’ll need:

  • Proven Experience: Demonstrable experience in a fast-paced news or PR environment, with a strong track record in picture editing.
  • Technical Proficiency: Skilled in Photoshop, with a solid understanding of Mac and MS Office systems.
  • Organisational Skills: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and deliver under tight deadlines.
  • Attention to Detail: Exceptional focus on accuracy and quality, especially when under pressure.
  • Communication: Strong written and verbal communication skills, particularly in crafting editorial captions.


It would also be useful to have:

  • A client focus: Enthusiastic about meeting clients, working on location, and participating in events.
  • Project Management skills: Capable of overseeing the entire lifecycle of a project from conception to completion.
  • Commercial Awareness: Understanding of business margins and the ability to work within them.


What you can expect in return:

You’ll become part of a vibrant, expanding agency with the opportunity to work on recognisable campaigns for clients like Ogilvy, National Lottery, Graham Norton Show and Amazon. We pride ourselves on a relaxed, yet professional agency culture that values hard work and teamwork. As part of a larger organisation, we offer benefits with a focus on wellbeing, training and development, and access to a modern workspace with a free on-site gym and rooftop terrace.
This role typically follows a Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM schedule, with occasional evening and weekend work based on project needs. We are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment and encourage flexible working arrangements to suit individual needs.
