Leads will be expected to lead & inspire a team of photographers while maintaining and championing shoot standards across the business. Leads will be self-starters, with a desire to build both internal and external networks, both learning and sharing key learnings and insights that will help to support the success of delivery teams. Reporting to the Photographer Manager you will act as a senior member of the photography and wider studio team.
