π Role Summary
-
Own the end-to-end visual marketing assets for automotive aftermarket products, from initial product photography to final e-commerce listing images and website graphics.
-
Leverage AI image generation tools for lifestyle scene creation and integrate them seamlessly with studio product shots using advanced Photoshop compositing techniques.

Drive product sales through compelling and accurate visual storytelling, translating technical specifications and product features into easily understandable imagery for online shoppers.
π Enhancement Note: This role is positioned within a marketing and product-focused team, implying a strong connection to revenue generation and Go-To-Market (GTM) strategies.

π Primary Responsibilities
-
Plan, execute, and manage studio product photography sessions, ensuring all necessary angles and lighting conditions are captured for subsequent editing and compositing.
-
Perform advanced photo editing and retouching, including HDR merging, color correction, and meticulous compositing of studio product shots into AI-generated vehicle lifestyle scenes.

Develop and produce all product listing images, store graphics, and promotional visuals for the company's website (TrueMods.com) and major online marketplaces.
-
Create clear and concise dimension, specification, and technical drawing graphics that effectively communicate product features and fitment to potential buyers.

Maintain an organized and up-to-date photography equipment log and ensure all gear is in good working order, including regular maintenance and inventory checks.

π Enhancement Note: The responsibilities clearly indicate a hands-on role with significant ownership over the visual presentation of products. The emphasis on "planning and executing" shoots, "producing and maintaining" graphics, and "organizing and maintaining" the content library points to a need for strong project management and organizational skills within a creative workflow.
π Skills & Qualifications
Education: While no specific degree is mandated, a strong foundation in design principles is expected, often acquired through formal education in Graphic Design, Photography, or a related field, or through equivalent professional experience.
Experience: Minimum of 3 years of professional graphic design experience, either in-house or within an agency setting, with a proven track record in e-commerce product imagery.
Required Skills:
-
Advanced proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator for complex image manipulation, compositing, and graphic creation.

Hands-on experience with product photography, including shooting techniques like bracketing exposures and performing HDR merging for enhanced detail and dynamic range.

Demonstrated skill in photo compositing and retouching to create realistic and polished final imagery.

Experience with video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Pro or After Effects, or familiarity with AI video generation tools.
-
An automotive enthusiast with practical experience in modifying or working on cars, providing a deeper understanding of product application and customer appeal.
π Enhancement Note: The distinction between "hands-on photography experience" and "studio product photography experience" suggests that while the company provides the studio environment, the candidate needs to be comfortable operating the camera and lighting themselves, even if they haven't formally worked in a dedicated studio photography role. The AI requirement is specific and demands practical application, not just theoretical knowledge.
