DI Artist

We are looking for a talented DI Artist with a passion for beauty and premium brand aesthetics to join our post production team. In this role, you will deliver world-class colour retouching and digital finishing across high-end beauty and personal care campaigns, working at the intersection of technical expertise and artistic sensibility to realise a cohesive and elevated final image.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the colour and DI process across a range of projects including hero key visuals, print campaigns, digital assets, and global adaptations, with a strong focus on high-end beauty content
• Retouch and finish beauty-specific stills material to the highest standard — with particular attention to skin tone rendering, complexion consistency, product colour accuracy, and overall brand look and feel
• Collaborate closely with photographers, art directors, and agency partners during client-attended sessions, translating creative vision into a technically precise and aesthetically refined result
• Manage conform and finishing workflows, ensuring all elements are correctly assembled and delivered to print and digital specifications
• Perform quality control across all deliverables, applying a thorough knowledge of large-format print standards, CMYK colour profiles, and global delivery requirements
• Work alongside retouching, compositing, and production teams to ensure a seamless handoff and consistent visual language throughout post production
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously, providing accurate time estimates and communicating clearly with producers on workload and delivery timelines
• Stay current with evolving colour science, retouching tools, and beauty advertising trends — bringing new techniques and perspectives to the team

Requirements

• Minimum 4–5 years of professional experience in an advertising agency, production house, or high-end retouching studio, with FMCG or beauty and personal care work strongly preferred
• A portfolio that demonstrates both complex, high-end compositing — including the creation of master key visuals — and flawless technical adaptation work such as product swaps, label extensions, and language localisation
• Proven experience working with regional or global brand guidelines, including the ability to unpack, modify, and preserve the integrity of a master toolkit across multiple markets
• Expert-level proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and Capture One; knowledge of additional colour and retouching platforms is advantageous
• Deep understanding of colour science, colour profiles, resolutions, and formatting requirements across large-format print (CMYK) and digital channels
• Exceptional eye for skin tone, light, and colour — with a clear understanding of the visual language and quality bar expected by premium beauty brands
• Hyper-attention to detail and a pixel-perfect mentality — proactively flagging issues, offering solutions, and making creative suggestions even when the brief appears straightforward
• A craftsman's mindset: the creative ability to build a master image from scratch, balanced with the patience and humility to execute repetitive pack-shot label exchanges without losing focus or quality
• Ego-free and adaptable — equally comfortable leading on high-end creative work and executing localisation and versioning tasks with the same level of care and precision
