About the Company

Our client produces premium products for a growing portfolio of private label, co-branded, and B2B partners. They operate with a lean, highly effective internal creative team that punches well above its weight. By collaborating across sales, product, and visual teams, the company is dedicated to pitching bespoke, high-impact product concepts and maintaining top-tier visual standards across packaging, digital listings, and marketing campaigns.

Role Overview

As a Render, Retouch & Content Artist, you will step into a pivotal role that brings the entire visual presentation pipeline under one roof. You will own the 3D product renders, photo retouching, and pitch decks—turning partner brand assets into client-ready presentations, packaging-grade visuals, and complete marketing render suites. Alongside pitch deliverables, you will support in-house content output by capturing and editing short-form video for social and paid media. This position is ideal for a mid-level artist who excels in KeyShot and Photoshop, possesses an exacting eye for colour accuracy, and is equally comfortable picking up a camera when the brief calls for it.

Key Responsibilities

• Adapt existing KeyShot templates and scenes for new private label and B2B partner products, and build bespoke render setups from scratch when required.

• Recolour multi-part product renders (body, lid, internal components, handles, and trims) to match partner brand palettes and specifications across all SKUs.

• Produce packaging-grade product renders for commercial print and packaging visualisations.

• Deliver full, standardised digital marketing render suites following fixed shot lists to maintain consistency across all accounts.

• Adapt master presentation decks for each new pitch, updating brand marks, hero renders, colourways, and typography while preserving established grids and layout systems.

• Retouch, grade, relight, and composite lifestyle and product photography so products read convincingly in partner branding and finishes.

• Turn around client-ready presentation files and organised editable source files at pace to meet sales deadlines across multiple concurrent pitches.

• Shoot and edit short-form, social-native video content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) in the studio to support day-to-day social and performance marketing.

• Maximise visual assets by generating turntables, 3D animations, product listing assets, and alternative cuts for creative split-testing.

• Maintain and organise internal brand and client asset libraries so renders, decks, source files, and footage are easily accessible.

• Proactively flag emerging visual trends, creative formats, or production techniques worth testing.

Key Qualifications

• Mid-level experience with a demonstrable KeyShot portfolio focused on commercial product rendering (experience with transparent materials, plastics, and drinkware/bottles strongly preferred).

• Advanced Photoshop retouching skills, including complex masking, spot relighting, surface blending, and realistic compositing.

• Strong practical experience with Pantone and brand colour-matching, ensuring precise material finishes, colour accuracy, and logo application.

• Confident using InDesign (or equivalent layout tools) to maintain and update structured pitch decks quickly without breaking template systems.

• Thorough understanding of the technical differences and resolution requirements between packaging-grade and web/digital assets.

• Hands-on experience shooting and editing short-form video with a solid grasp of hooks, pacing, framing, and social safe zones. Premiere Pro preferred (Adobe environment); After Effects or KeyShot motion capabilities a bonus.

• Strong problem-solving ability to troubleshoot complex visual briefs (e.g., cleanly rendering white products on white backgrounds).

• Working knowledge of Illustrator, Lightroom, and basic 3D CAD/model workflows to integrate into existing pipelines (product models are provided).

• Experience working with consumer goods, fitness, hydration, fashion, or performance-adjacent brands is a strong plus.
