Create and retouch high-quality imagery at scale for multiple clients, using Photoshop, Adobe Creative Suite, and AI image-generation tools. Responsibilities include art directing and prompting AI imagery, maintaining organized workflows, managing large asset volumes, collaborating with creatives and technologists, solving production challenges, and sharing retouching and AI best practices across the team.
We’re looking for a Digital Designer / Retoucher with a passion for AI, a sharp eye for detail, and exceptional retouching skills to join our design team. This is a three-month fixed-term contract, which may be extended subject to client approval and the ongoing scope of the project.
You’ll be part of a group pushing boundaries in how AI and design come together, working on image-heavy projects at scale, across some of our most exciting accounts.
This role blends creativity, precision, and experimentation. You’ll need to love iteration and process as much as aesthetics - thriving in the detail, not being precious, and keeping standards high even when the pace is fast and the volume’s high.
You’ll be part of our pioneering team exploring how AI is transforming creative production, collaborating with a talented, supportive team that values curiosity and technical mastery.
If you’re a designer with strong retouching experience, this is a great opportunity to grow your AI skillset and help shape the future of design workflows.

- Art direct and prompt AI imagery, knowing what makes a composition sing, and how to elevate a scene through props, tone, and lighting.
- Maintain high standards across large volumes of assets, keeping file management organised and workflows efficient.
- Collaborate with creatives and technologists to solve problems, find smart workarounds, and continuously improve how we work.
- Share knowledge and help upskill the wider team in retouching and AI best practice.
- Work across diverse brands, balancing craft and innovation.
Requirements
- Experience in a creative or digital agency environment, used to working at pace and volume.
- Deep expertise in retouching (Photoshop wizardry essential).
- Proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite with a strong technical understanding of image editing, compositing, and colour management.
- Strong understanding of photography, lighting, and composition.
- Curiosity and confidence using AI image tools (Midjourney, Firefly, DALL·E, Runway, etc.).
- A genuine passion for photography - you love capturing stories through visuals and bring a creative eye to every project.
- A process-led, detail-obsessed mindset - you take pride in precision.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to adapt on the fly.
- Not precious, happy to work through repetition, multiple versions, and ongoing refinements.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills across cross-disciplinary teams.
