About You

You’re the eye behind the shot and the reason the “quick product shoot” somehow ends up looking like a campaign. From styling sneakers, sofas, and skincare to making last-minute creative calls on set, you bring concepts to life with equal parts taste, instinct, and organised chaos.

This isn’t a stand-back-and-point role, you’re hands-on in the thick of a fast-paced commercial studio, collaborating with photographers, retouchers, and production leads to create content that actually makes people stop scrolling.

Responsibilities:

Interpreting and Executing Daily Briefs

• Apply a commercial lens to incoming briefs, ensuring that the product is the hero.

• When the brief calls for it, develop a look and feel that makes the product stand out from the noise and pull in the customer.

• Liaise with the Studio Manager to ensure briefs are executed within given timeframes.

Concept and Direction

• Build clear styling concepts along with mood boards and a clear direction when working with new brands. Define the colour palette, textures, props and styling approach before a shoot begins.

• Sense-check marketing briefs against the OneDayOnly brand: quirky, witty, considered, never generic.

• Present concepts to the Studio Manager, take feedback, and turn it around quickly. Tight timelines are the norm, not the exception.

On-Set Execution

• Style product, lifestyle and model shoots, switching between them confidently within the same day.

• Collaborate with the photographer on set, including directing models (often non-professional or first-time talent) and making real-time calls on composition, set adjustments and styling fixes.

• Take creative accountability for what ends up in frame. If something isn’t working, you’re the one who flags it and resolves it before the shoot wraps.

• Work closely with our Video Production Lead on video shoots, including product video, social-first content and campaign work. Stills and video sit alongside each other in this studio, not in separate lanes.

Studio Standards and Inventory

• Keep prop, wardrobe and backdrop inventories accurate and current. Log condition, location and damage as you go.

• Source props and wardrobe from existing studio inventory, retail or supplier loans. Build sourcing relationships over time so we’re not starting from zero on every shoot.

• Reset the studio properly at the end of every shoot day. The next shoot starts cleaner because of it.

• Assist the sample coordinator with sample handling.

Communication and Admin

• Communicate clearly and early with the Studio Manager and the rest of the studio team. Identify and work to resolve any blockers early in the process to ensure a smooth shoot every time.

• Engage directly with the sales and marketing teams when a brief needs unpacking, shoot direction needs aligning, or clarity is needed on an in-progress concept.

• Keep the Studio Forecast updated daily, log tasks and time accurately, and use the studio’s Asana and Google Chats workflows to ensure smooth delivery of assets..

Pushing the Work Forward

• Stay current on what’s happening in product and fashion styling, especially in the realm of e-commerce.

• Bring fresh ideas to the team. Mood board references, set treatments, prop sourcing, and video styling approaches. The studio thrives when everyone’s contributing, not just executing.

Experience and Qualifications:

• 3 to 5 years’ experience styling in a studio or commercial production environment.

• A portfolio that shows a range of work across stills and ideally video, covering product, lifestyle and model work, with a clear point of view running through it.

• Demonstrable experience collaborating on shoots from concept through to execution.

• Strong styling vision and the ability to translate a brand identity into shoots that sell.

• Confident set-building and prop sourcing, including delivering strong work with limited resources and short notice.

• Working knowledge of photography, video, lighting and studio practice to collaborate properly with the photographer and video production lead.

• Comfort directing models, especially non-professional talent.

• Solid administrative discipline. Reading briefs, updating forecasts, and documenting decisions.

• Working knowledge of Asana, Google Suite, and moodboarding tools (Canva, etc.) are advantageous

• Adaptable, proactive, and calm when timelines tighten.

• Excellent communicator.

• Organised across multiple shoots running in parallel, without dropping the small things.

• A team player who works well in a small, close-knit creative studio.

• A “do-er” with the judgment to know when to push, when to simplify, and when to ask.

• Driver’s licence and own transport (essential for sourcing and off-site shoots).

Values:

• Challenge Accepted: We create bold campaigns, own our results, and push creative boundaries to make an impact.

• Solve Smart: We use insights, data, and innovation to solve marketing challenges creatively and effectively.

• Character Counts: We communicate honestly, ethically, and with creativity, building trust with customers and colleagues.

• Customer Obsessed: We deeply understand our audience, delivering content and campaigns that resonate and drive action.

• Seriously Unserious: We bring enthusiasm, wit, and fun to our campaigns and teamwork, while staying results-focused.
