• Coordinate photographers, stylists, retouchers, and producers, and establish KPIs and reporting to track throughput, turnaround, utilization, and quality.
• Own and continuously improve end-to-end studio workflows, using production data and bottleneck analysis to eliminate inefficiencies and drive scalable ways of working.
• Evaluate, implement, and optimize technologies for production planning, asset management, and workflow automation, leveraging AI to accelerate content production and improve quality control.
• Build business cases for technology investments and drive adoption across the studio team, partnering with Technology and Digital teams.
• Serve as the primary operational point of contact for studio matters across Creative, Brand, Marketing, Merchandising, Retail, E-commerce, and Production teams.
• Manage external partners — retouching, production, equipment, and technology vendors — negotiating contracts and rates to ensure cost-effective, high-quality service.
• Own the studio operating budget across external retouching, tooling, technology, equipment, and resources, monitoring productivity, utilization, and costs to optimize spend.
• Support strategic planning and future studio capability development.
