  • Handle communication—email, phone, and in-person support

  • Oversee day-of-session flow and client hospitality

  • Assist with marketing, content creation, and light bookkeeping

  • Manage social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, etc.)

  • Liaise with retouchers; light editing in Photoshop/Lightroom a plus

  • Package and deliver client artwork and printed products

​​

🌟 Skills & Traits That Make You a Great Fit

  • Friendly, empathetic, and service-minded

  • Strong communication and time management

  • Clean, organized, and detail-obsessed

  • Graphic design or retouching experience is a big plus

  • Willingness to learn and grow with the team

​

💼 Requirements

  • High school diploma or equivalent (preferred)

  • Valid driver’s license + reliable transportation

  • 1–2 years experience in a customer service, studio, or administrative role

  • Extremely organized with the ability to prioritize and multitask

  • Available to work part-time in Holmdel, NJ (some remote flexibility)

 

💰 Compensation & Benefits

  • $20/hr based on experience 

  • Gas allowance for errands

  • Flexible schedule (part-time with growth to full-time in 3–6 months)

  • Updated headshot with professional hair & makeup

  • Friendly, creative, and supportive studio environment
