Why Universal Works?

Universal Works is a down-to-earth but dedicated group of people who love what they do, and love what they wear. We put great design, community and trying to do the right thing at the heart of what we do, always approaching our work with responsibility, passion and a sense of humour. We are constantly striving to drive a culture we are proud of, and whether we are having a chat around the coffee machine or a company wide meeting, everyone feels heard. A creative bunch with a keen eye for clothing, there is a real excitement around the future of UW and how we will all be involved in getting there.

Our perks include competitive salaries and holiday allowance, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, flexible working policies and (the one you were waiting for) a very decent clothing discount and allowance. Staff are given the opportunity to give back, with plenty of charity volunteering days and initiatives.

Our growing team work from an office that has some of the best views in Nottingham, a warehouse and design studio not far from our HQ, and our stores in Nottingham and London. We are stocked across the globe from Los Angeles to Seoul—so you will never be too far from a Universal Works product anywhere in the world.

You'll retouch everything from e-commerce flats and hanging shots to editorial and location-based model imagery, working in a busy in-house studio with a team that genuinely cares about the craft.

You'll be the person who makes sure a jumper looks the same shade of navy whether it's flat, on a hanger or on a model, who versions out imagery precisely to whatever spec is thrown your way, and who keeps our ever-growing image library organised, searchable and easy for the wider business to rely on.

  • Colour correcting for perfect consistency across flats, details and model shots.
  • Cropping, batch processing, resizing and versioning imagery for multiple channels.
  • Keeping our digital asset library beautifully organised across our internal server and SharePoint.
  • Running quality control checks to keep our output consistent and on-brand.
  • Assisting our Creative Services Manager and photography studio with other ad-hoc duties.

What you’ll bring:

  • Outstanding Photoshop skills.
  • A sharp eye for colour, detail and consistency.
  • Some advanced retouching know-how (liquify, masks, paths, clone stamp etc).
  • Ability to colour correct imagery and create composites.
  • Strong organisational skills and a methodical approach to asset management.
  • A calm head under pressure, and a genuine drive to keep learning and improving how things are done.
  • Attention to detail.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills.
  • Able to maintain high quality of work whilst working to deadlines
  • Familiarity with using CaptureOne.
  • Familiarity with the Adobe Creative Suite outside of Photoshop.

Why join Universal Works?:

Join an independent British brand with a global audience, and see the impact of your work across our e-commerce, marketing and brand channels.

We also offer:

  • Competitive salary.
  • 28 days of holiday increasing with length of service.
  • Employee discount and clothing allowance .
  • Access to discounts platform and employee assistant programme.

If you love the craft of retouching as much as the satisfaction of a perfectly organised image library, we'd love to hear from you.
