Since 2015, Stylepix has established itself as an ecommerce product photography studio specializing in fashion and accessories.

The Role:
The Post Production Manager will lead our retouching team, making sure that the team is provided with proper training, support, supervision, working tools, processes and leadership to thrive and deliver consistent quality to our customers.
