We are the first to market with a patented image-streaming technology that is revolutionizing the way images are published and monetized online. We are now collaborating with some of the most prestigious sports brands from the worlds of football, rugby, and beyond, together with a global range of publishers, imaging companies, and tech partners to drive widespread adoption.

Our mission is to transform how the world views and publishes images online – and we need talented individuals to help us achieve this.

We are busy building out our team and are now looking to bring on board an experienced Picture Editor, preferably one with a background in news and sports reporting. We have large-scale, global ambitions and a strategy to deliver against them, and this role is crucial in making the business a success.

The Picture Editor will be dedicated to identifying the most valuable and commercially viable images each day, organizing them and ensuring they are shared with publishing clients in a timely and operationally efficient manner. 

The ideal candidate will have at least three years’ experience either working on or with picture desks and publishing platforms. They will also bring with them a strong network of contacts who could potentially become SmartFrame customers.

The candidate will have a photography background and understand technical and legal considerations required to capture great commercial photography; be experienced in transferring images to customers or receiving images from photographers and/or photo agencies; and will be familiar and comfortable with FTP and other forms of image transfer.

Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team across London, New York, Berlin, and Kraków, the successful candidate will work closely with management to improve the business’s publishing inventory and customer footprint.

  • Conduct thorough picture research to curate a visually compelling and commercially relevant offering to customers on our photography sites  
  • Collaborate closely with the Publishing team to understand the needs of our customer base 
  • Help the Global Content Sales Director identify and source additional imagery as required, possibly finding archive imagery to supplement current photography
  • Maintain and police our captioning and metadata standards
  • Produce regular, effective communications that highlight upcoming imagery, while also promoting existing images
  • Represent the business at networking and industry events, promoting our service and proposition

Requirements

  • 3+ years’ experience as a Picture Editor, or in similar role, in a publishing or media environment (preferably within sports)
  • Excellent sports knowledge, together with a desire to learn more
  • A deadline-driven mindset, focused on working as efficiently as possible 
  • Excellent visual skills and attention to detail
  • A commercial eye for great photography, together with the ability to organize and edit images to maximize their chances of being selected for publishing
  • Proficiency in photo-editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, as well as graphic design tools would be an advantage
  • Highly aware of the latest trends in photography and editing technologies
  • Up-to-date knowledge of picture agencies and publishing processes, together with a broad network of photographers and a diverse range of contacts in the publishing world who could potentially become clients of SmartFrame
  • Well organized and structured, with a collaborative can-do attitude and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • A willingness to work flexibly around the demands of the job
  • A positive and proactive approach, with a mix of creative and commercial focus

Benefits

  • A generous company share option scheme
  • Eligibility for our generous profit-share incentive scheme
  • Bupa private medical and dental insurance
  • Ample opportunity for hands-on personal development
  • Hybrid working 
  • 25 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays
  • Office closure between Christmas and New Year (in addition to the 25-day holiday allowance)
  • Regular socials across our four global offices

We’re passionate about SmartFrame – and once you get to know us, we’re sure you’ll be too. If you want to have a hand in changing the way images are published online and expediting a new technology on a global scale, get in touch with your CV and a cover letter so we can put you on our radar.
