About You:
Are you passionate about celebrity culture, fashion, and entertainment, and skilled at managing the logistics behind the scenes? Getty Images is seeking someone who is immersed in pop culture, thrives in high-energy environments, and possesses exceptional organizational abilities. If you excel at managing multiple priorities, lead with confidence, and enjoy the creative buzz of event production, this could be your next role.

This newly established position focuses on producing fashion and entertainment news content, while also contributing to the daily output of a dynamic entertainment team. If you’re looking for a creatively fulfilling role with a successful and innovative company, this might be the perfect fit.

You can handle a busy workload, manage multiple projects, and remain composed under pressure. You’re also confident leading on-site teams at events, making a solid understanding of production logistics essential.

– Manage a monthly budget, track contributor earnings, and monitor profit margins.
– Maintain strong relationships with contributors, provide feedback, and scout new talent.
– Collaborate with the sales team to promote content and gather client feedback.
– Handle administrative tasks related to production and content coordination.

What You’ll Bring:

– Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple tasks effectively.
– Strong communication and interpersonal skills with a knack for networking.
– A commercial mindset and understanding of editorial client needs.
– Experience in content production, coordination, or managing celebrity/editorial relationships.
– Willingness to travel and work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends.
