Your vision of who you are and where you want to go is important here.
While we do have a consistent group of clients to service, it would be great to infuse some of your new ideas into their projects.
Please be open to the working mix of: Long-lasting clients with cemented standards, and new projects with wide-open opportunity.
Team player is important - we are a collaborative. Everyone has the opportunity to provide input into projects.

This is a Salary position, depending upon experience & skill-set; with medical, dental, retirement, life insurance, and all of the stumptown coffee on site you need to go from 0-100.

Straub Collaborative is seeking a highly skilled Digital Retouch Artist to join our team.

We’re looking for someone who can give a lot of love to a photo and pay critical attention to color. You needn’t be a part-time print production designer, or identity creator, we’ll appreciate you for who you are - which hopefully is a rock-solid retouch artist with a penchant for creating outstanding finished work.

We want to work with someone who cares about his/her work quality, can communicate well with photographers, producers and if need be, The Client, as well as recognize that point of diminishing returns on a photo. Some projects are detailed, beautiful works of art, and some are thousands of attractive and consistent product photos. We will look to you in both cases to appropriately clean, compose, and color-correct the work while always taking in to account the budgeted scope and timeline.

Job Guidelines
▪ Please be highly skilled in photoshop. We don’t expect you to know every command and shortcut, but 80% “mastery” is what we’re hoping for. We are seeking individuals with at least 4 years of thorough, highly-relatable experience.
▪ Please be attentive to color. Color correction is very important here at Straub, it impacts on-screen accuracy for web jpgs and critically impacts the results on press. Love color, know RGB/CMYK/Pantone, be able to discern a magenta cast vs. too much yellow in an image, strive for excellence.
▪ Be prepared to accept input and direction from your producers and photo/stylist team, and at times from the client’s art director.
▪ Anticipate an open, enthusiastic work environment that is driven by our client’s expectations. You are as vital an artist to us in many cases as our photographers and stylists are and we are a team.

This is a Hourly-wage position, depending upon experience & skill-set; with medical, dental, retirement, life insurance, and all of the stumptown coffee on site you need to go from 0-100.  Just as long as you can keep that mouse or stylus steady!

We’re hiring, and we’re pretty darn excited about it.

Due to our consistently growing workload the team at Straub Collaborative is looking to hire a new Project Manager. We’re not looking for any ordinary excel-jockey here, but someone with an eye for high quality visual works and the kind of organizational skills that would make a pre-prison Martha Stuart green with envy.  Watch out, she’s vindictive.
