Strong understanding of unit photography, talent approvals, publicity and media requirements, with the confidence to edit, curate and advise on imagery.
Hands‑on experience with photo editing, retouching, DAM systems, metadata, access controls and embargoes.
Demonstrated ability to operate as a proactive self‑starter, owning their agenda within a matrixed, multi‑location organisation.
Excellent senior‑level stakeholder management skills, including working across marketing, press, publicity and creative teams in complex or political environments.
Highly organised, with experience creating calendars, trackers and scalable approval workflows to support creative delivery
