In-House Photographer

City, Manchester
Zachary Daniels Recruitment
In-House Photographer (Mid-Senior) Manchester Up to 45,000

A fast-growing digital retail brand in the beauty & lifestyle space is seeking a highly skilled In-House Photographer to take full ownership of product and campaign imagery as the brand continues its rapid growth.

This is a key creative hire. You’ll be trusted to deliver expert-level imagery at speed, set visual standards, and play a major role in how the brand shows up across ecommerce, social (including TikTok), and digital campaigns.

This is not a junior or developmental role we’re looking for someone who already operates at a commercial, high-volume beauty brand level.

In-House Photographer Responsibilities:

As In-House Photographer, you’ll be responsible for producing consistent, premium imagery that meets the demands of a fast-moving, high-turnover beauty business.

Your focus will include:

• Product photography (core ecommerce output)

• Campaign imagery to support launches and key moments

• Content optimised for website, social and digital marketing

• Working efficiently at volume without compromising quality

• Acting as a trusted creative partner to design and marketing teams

You’ll be given briefs and the freedom and trust to deliver without hand-holding.

What We’re Looking For

This role suits a photographer who is confident, decisive and commercially sharp.

You’ll bring:

• Mid-weight to Senior level experience in beauty, fashion or ecommerce

• A strong commercial eye for lighting, composition and output

• The ability to work fast, independently and at scale

• Experience reducing reliance on external suppliers and 3D modelling through strong photography

• Confidence owning end-to-end delivery, from shoot through to final output

Quality matters. The benchmark is already high, and imagery must align with a brand operating at 100m+ turnover.

Working Pattern & Flexibility

• Agile and flexible approach required

• Occasional Saturday working may be needed for urgent shoots or edits

• Time back in lieu provided during the week

• Clear communication around editing timelines and priorities is essential

Why Join

• Creative freedom in a brand that values ideas and experimentation

• Clear career progression as the business continues to grow

• Competitive salary + benefits

• Supportive, social and design-led culture

• Studio perks including free onsite gym

• Fun weekly incentives (yes, including “Moody Mondays” treats)
