• Liaise with designers, packaging teams, and Waitrose internal stakeholders to meet creative and commercial objectives.

Shoot Planning & Coordination:

• Translate briefs into detailed production plans with timelines, budgets, and resource requirements.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritising effectively.
• Source and book photographers, studios, and prop stylists.
Attend all pre and post production packaging meetings.

On-Set & Shoot Management:

• Oversee shoots to ensure they run smoothly, stay on schedule, and meet budget requirements.
• Collaborate with art directors and photographers to deliver the agreed creative vision.

• Troubleshoot issues quickly to keep productions on track.

Post-Production & Asset Management:

• Oversee retouching, colour correction, and quality control of all imagery.
• Ensure assets are delivered to the correct technical specifications and on deadline.
• Archive and organise photography assets for efficient retrieval.
• Manage copyright and image rights clearances where necessary.
