ABOUT PIXELZ

At Pixelz, we help photo studio professionals beat deadlines by providing reliable, AI-powered retouching at scale.

Over the years, we’ve innovated in response to the industry challenges of fluctuating image volumes, manual workflows, and inconsistency in image quality. In trying to solve these issues, we developed the concept of S.A.W.™ – Specialist Assisted Workflows.

An idea of splitting the retouching workflow into many different production steps assisted by AI, machine learning, and various other methods of automation. A completely different way of handling retouching than anyone had ever done before.

The result is a retouching service offering unprecedented speed, consistency, and scalability. Together with delivering an outstanding customer experience, this is the reason we are trusted by leading fashion brands around the world.

We are a technology company powered by a talented and passionate team spread across 8 countries hosting a team of 500 people globally. With our diverse team, we are able to push boundaries, embrace change and innovate to create more and better opportunities for our customers, our colleagues, and the communities we are a part of.

Our three core values are:

Let Data Decide. We empower each other to act when we see an issue or opportunity. We take pride in our work, speak up, and continuously improve without the fear of failing.

Build Genuine Relationships. We are in it for the long term. We treat our colleagues, customers, and partners openly and honestly.

Own It. We empower each other to act when we see an issue or opportunity. We take pride in our work, speak up, and continuously improve without the fear of failing.

THE ROLE

If you are familiar with the pains of managing post-production for editorial imagery and if you are excited about leveraging technology to change the way it’s being done, here is a unique opportunity for you!

During the last 10 years, we have been focused on building the leading platform and retouching service for e-commerce that helps studios optimize the entire process from capture to online. We’ve made it, and now we want to leverage all our learnings and a suite of innovative technologies to build the leading service for editorial imagery as well!

Managing the retouching workflow for editorials is typically a very manual process with inefficient communication, lack of transparency, and production bottlenecks. This is no different from the pains of e-commerce operations, but there are added complexities in creating editorial content and those are the challenges we want to tackle. To do that, we need an experienced Product Owner to take the lead and help us refine the platform and services in close collaboration with our clients, leading fashion brands and retailers.

In this role, you will be leading the launch of the first editorial retouch service that leverages AI and other automation technologies to deliver high-quality editorial content faster than ever before. On top, we are offering workflow management tools and communication interfaces that allow studios to streamline their workflow and remove tedious manual tasks, and instead let them focus on creating great content that elevates the brand.

This role requires deep knowledge of and experience with managing the post-production for editorials. We assume you have a background in photography and have photo studio management experience. You are curious, analytical and technology-driven, you are excited about finding ways to automate and streamline workflows, and you would be great at working closely with both clients and internal teams. Taking ownership is natural to you and you thrive in executing several projects with ambitious deadlines simultaneously.
