About Slate

Slate Studios is a premier NYC content studio. We blend classic craft with AI/CGI to deliver conversion-focused PDPs at luxury standards.

Role

Own the creative from brief to delivery for e-commerce: ghost mannequin, on-form/laydown, accessories, beauty macro, 360/spins, and short motion. Translate brand guidelines into scalable sets and repeatable systems that protect color, finish, and fit.

Key Responsibilities

  • Approve selects, markups, and QC; enforce color and silhouette accuracy.

  • Create templated toolkits (Capture One styles, crop grids) for speed and scale.

  • Contribute to AI/CGI workflows (cloth sims, digital doubles, versioning).

  • Report on throughput, rejects, and A/B learnings.

Qualifications

  • 3 years directing e-com for luxury/fashion/beauty.

  • Portfolio showing ghost mannequin, accessories, beauty macro, and PDP systems.

  • Strong in Adobe CC, Capture One; color-critical workflows; retouch notation.

  • Familiarity with 360/motion and basic CGI/Unreal/C4D a plus.

  • Clear communicator; calm under deadlines.
