About the role

Stocksy is an artist-led stock co-operative with over 1,800 co-owner artists around the world, including photographers, videographers, and illustrators, who make work that premium brands trust.
Someone with a sharp eye, a genuine instinct for quality, and the communication skills to help contributors understand the thinking behind editorial decisions.

Review submissions for legal compliance: releases, copyright, and anything that could create risk for the brands that use our work
Support contributors in building portfolios that are stronger, more consistent, and more commercially relevant over time
Maintain metadata quality across reviewed assets
Your feedback adds up over time, helping contributors build portfolios that are stronger, more consistent, and more commercially relevant.
You bring a critical eye that goes beyond personal taste, and you approach curation with curiosity and openness, because building a collection that reflects the full range of human experience requires it.
Reports to: Editor Lead
Stocksy supports a global membership of employees, contractors, and contributors from all walks of life.
We find strength in what makes us different, and we are committed to building a diverse membership and cultivating an inclusive environment where every one of our co-op members can thrive.

Demonstrated experience in photo editing, curation, or a related visual content role, whether through employment, freelance, or practice as a working artist
Experience giving constructive feedback to photographers or other creatives
A strong eye for both aesthetic and technical image quality
Familiarity with the stock photography or visual media landscape
Strong attention to detail - particularly around metadata, releases, and content standards
Ability to work independently and manage your own queue in a remote environment, with experience using project management software preferred
You have experience exploring how AI tools can make your curation work more efficient, whether that's research, analysis, or workflow
You understand that editorial judgment, taste, and an eye for what belongs in this collection can't be outsourced. You approach new tools with curiosity, not fear
What we offer
Base Salary: $50,000 to $60,000 per year (pro-rated to part-time), reflective of experience
Variable Salary: this role is eligible for a performance-based bonus each fiscal year
Paid Time Off: six weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, and one paid volunteer day

Bring your editorial decisions to the team openly, discuss edge cases, and be willing to have your thinking challenged
Flag collection gaps, emerging trends, and editorial opportunities you are noticing across the queue
Contribute to team conversations about collection standards, review processes, and how we keep our editorial approach clear and shared
You have a sharp editorial instinct and bring it directly to how you review submissions from our artists.
You read work with a commercial eye, an awareness of current and emerging visual culture, and a clear sense of how a client could use it.
That instinct is the foundation of everything in this role.
You are confident in the technical aspects of photography and ideally video too.
Every editorial reinforces that.
