Photo Retoucher
Role Summary

This is a rare opportunity to do post-production work for international fashion e-commerce — without leaving Moldova. You will be part of our Design team in Chisinau while serving as a dedicated creative resource for our customer, supporting ready-to-wear product imagery that goes live on customer-facing product pages. If you can make a garment look like it is still being worn when there is nobody inside it, this is the work.
You will own post-production for ghost mannequin imagery — front, back, closure and detail shots — and flat/laydown shots coming off our Index capture stations. The standard is simple to state and hard to hit: the garment keeps its natural shape, silhouette, proportions, construction and drape. Weak ghost mannequin work is obvious to anyone scrolling a product page. Volume is high, so an industry AI retouching tool handles the first pass; Photoshop refinement and a human check on every image remain yours. You will be grounded in CloudX's culture and supported by the Chisinau team, engaging daily with brand and content stakeholders abroad.
Key Responsibilities
● Photoshop: Retouch ghost mannequin and flat lay product imagery to a natural finish — masking, liquify, clean-up, colour correction and garment reconstruction — so that shape, drape and construction read as true to the physical product.
● Photoshop: Maintain visual consistency across full product sets and across seasons, so that colour, exposure, crop, alignment and shadow treatment hold from one image to the next.
● AI retouching tool: Run the first-pass automated retouch at daily production volume, then review, correct and finish every output manually — treating the tool as a starting point, never as a final result.
● AI retouching tool: Identify recurring failure patterns in automated output — collapsed shoulders, sleeves hanging wrong, inflated silhouettes, lost closure detail — and feed them back so settings and workflow can be adjusted.
● Perform a human quality check on every image before release, rejecting anything that reads as unnatural regardless of how it was produced.
● Apply brand-specific retouching guidelines and taxon requirements accurately, image by image, across multiple brands and categories.
● Work to daily and weekly delivery volumes without allowing throughput to erode the quality standard, flagging capacity risks early.
● Handle files according to naming, versioning, colour profile and output specifications, so that assets land correctly in downstream systems.
● Collaborate with the photography team at the Index capture stations to resolve issues at source rather than in post-production.

● Engage with brand and e-commerce stakeholders on feedback, corrections and evolving image standards.

Requirements
● 3+ years of hands-on experience retouching fashion product imagery, with demonstrable ghost mannequin and flat lay work.
● Photoshop: Advanced command of masking, liquify, clean-up, colour correction and batch consistency — comfortable rebuilding a garment so it reads as naturally worn.
● AI retouching tool: Practical experience with AI-assisted retouching in a production workflow, and a clear-eyed view of where such tools fail and what still needs a human hand.
● A trained eye for anything that reads as unnatural in a garment — shoulder collapse, sleeve fall, inflated silhouette, distorted proportion — and the judgement to know when an image is not yet right.
● Discipline in following brand-specific guidelines and taxon requirements consistently at volume.
● Sound file handling: colour management, output specifications, naming and version control.
● Good English, spoken and written — your daily stakeholders are outside Moldova.
● Comfortable working in a remote/hybrid setup with structured review cycles and international collaboration.

Nice to Have
● Experience retouching for luxury or designer brands.
● Quality control experience on large image batches.
● Familiarity with DAM or PIM systems and e-commerce asset pipelines.
● Experience with Capture One or tethered studio capture workflows.

What We Offer
● Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.
● Health insurance, sport reimbursement and other perks.

● Professional growth opportunities and ongoing learning support.
● A collaborative and innovative team culture.
● Flexible working hours and remote-friendly policy.

Please send your portfolio together with your application — ghost mannequin and flat lay examples in particular, and before/after pairs where you have them.
