• Support the Photography Director and Production Manager in setting the creative and technical bar for every studio deliverable
• Partner with photographers, stylists, producers, retouchers, and merchandising teams to stay aligned on creative intent, timelines, and business goals
• Watch over studio equipment — cameras, lighting, grip gear, and infrastructure — and flag maintenance needs early
• Bring flexibility, accountability, and a solutions-first mindset to the team, and pitch in wherever the group needs support
• Other duties as assigned, in accordance with training and qualifications
• Uphold the Core Values and be a valuable member of the Four Hands Team
• Be open and honest
• Reach for excellence
• Act with responsibility
• Value the whole person
• Enjoy the journey
