**Role Responsibility**:
As our Still-Life Production Coordinator, you will be responsible for scheduling and resourcing daily in-house BAU e-commerce still-life shoots according to deliveries, time-to-site, forecast, and budgets. Categories you will schedule include Women’s and Men’s Accessories, Home, Childrenswear, Flowers, and Food & Wine.

Working in tandem with our Senior Still-Life Coordinator, each day will involve communicating with our in-house Art Direction, Photography, Styling, and Product team ensuring effective scheduling according to brand direction, product type, and team skillsets.

- End-to-end delivery of Still-Life priorities and brand launches - dropping key dates and information in calendar reminders through to critical paths and go-live
- QA imagery before retouch, checking product shot adheres to style guidelines
- Still-Life workflow efficiency and produ
