Job description

About Us

Love, Bonito is a digital-first company on a mission to empower the everyday Asian woman and inspire self-confidence. We are Southeast Asia's leading womenswear brand, headquartered in Singapore, with an omnichannel presence across Hong Kong SAR China, Indonesia, Malaysia and a retail franchise in Cambodia. In addition, we have also expanded into international markets namely the Philippines and the United States of America.

Founded in 2010, we are proudly female-founded with more than 65% female representation in leadership roles (#girlpower!). We raised a US$50M Series C round in 2021 and know that we're on the cusp of something great, where we're working towards becoming the most thoughtful brand globally, for the Asian female consumer, especially when it comes to our products, community and experiences.

There's a lot more work to be done with all of our exciting plans. So we're looking to team up with people who are wildly passionate about making an impact and be part of a dynamic team, in a workplace with no corporate BS (yes, you read that right!).

The role

The Studio Lead plays a key role in managing daily studio operations, ensuring smooth production workflows and high creative output across photography, video, and digital assets. You will oversee the production team, schedule shoots, manage deliverables, and maintain the studio's quality standards. This role requires both creative sensibility and operational precision — balancing hands‑on production guidance with leadership and coordination responsibilities.

Main responsibilities

• Lead and manage daily operations of the creative studio, including photography, video, and post‑production.
• Plan, schedule, and coordinate shoots to meet creative briefs and timelines.
• Oversee image retouching, color grading, and quality control processes to ensure consistent brand output.
• Collaborate closely with creative, marketing, and e‑commerce teams to align deliverables with business goals.
• Manage workflow systems, digital asset organization, and project tracking.
• Provide direction and feedback to photographers, stylists, and retouchers for optimal results.
• Ensure all equipment, lighting, and studio setups are maintained and operational.
• Support budgeting, resource planning, and vendor coordination when required.
• Uphold brand visual identity and ensure adherence to creative standards across all media.
• Mentor and guide junior team members to develop technical and creative skills.
• Conduct test shoots, lighting checks, and composition adjustments as needed.
• Plan, shoot, and edit photo and video content for campaigns, e-commerce, and social media.

Qualifications & Experience

• Minimum 3 years' experience in studio operations, digital production, or creative management — preferably in fashion, retail, or e-commerce.
• Available for 8 months contract.
• Strong knowledge of photography and retouching workflows, color management, and digital file handling.
• Proven leadership skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and teams under tight deadlines.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills, with a proactive and problem‑solving mindset.
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge); familiarity with Capture One is a plus.
• Detail‑oriented with an eye for visual quality, lighting, and brand aesthetics.
