Senior Digital Color Manager

We’re looking for a Senior Digital Color Manager to lead and elevate our image quality and color consistency across all digital touch points — including eCommerce product photography, CGI assets and lifestyle marketing images. This role will sit at the intersection of studio production, post-production, site merchandising, and creative — ensuring that product imagery accurately represents material, texture, and color for a seamless customer experience across our websites. This individual will manage the daily output of our Color Specialist and serve as the final quality checkpoint for online assets before they go live. The ideal candidate understands the nuance of translating physical product samples into web-optimized visuals, has a strong grasp of color theory and lighting, and can confidently collaborate with photographers, merchandisers, and creative stakeholders to ensure visual fidelity on digital platforms.

This is an on-site position (Monday through Thursday) based out of our Northbrook, IL office with the flexibility to work remotely on Fridays.

A day in the life as a Senior Digital Color Manager...

• Oversee digital image quality across eCommerce, site, and marketing channels — with a focus on color accuracy, consistency, and brand alignment

• Own final QA of all product imagery and lifestyle shots prior to web upload

• Partner with leadership stakeholders to address any color concerns or feedback

• Collaborate with studio and retouching teams to establish workflows for digital asset delivery, color correction, and approvals

• Manage and mentor our Color Specialist, providing direction and support during peak volume periods

• Compare digital renders to physical product samples and flag discrepancies for rework or lighting adjustments

• Collaborate with eComm, site merchandising, and creative to ensure images meet technical and visual expectations

• Serve as the go-to expert for visual consistency across channels and applications

What you'll bring to the table...

• Ability to process a high volume of input/requests and create a clear plan for execution

• Familiarity with the nuances of web and mobile color rendering

• Excellent eye for detail and ability to provide clear, actionable visual feedback

• Comfortable working cross-functionally with merchandising, creative, and technical partners in a digital-first environment

• Understanding of lighting environments and studio setup as it impacts post-production color work

• Deep understanding of creative processes, particularly in managing assets

• Able to work effectively with a diverse group of teams and creative partners

We'd love to hear from you if you have...

• 7+ years in digital image retouching, post-production, or color management — specifically for eCommerce and digital marketing

• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, Capture One, and digital calibration tools. Experience with project management tools such as Asana or Workfront preferred

• Team management experience

• Experience working with high-volume studio or production environments

• Excellent verbal communicator with strong interpersonal skills; able to train and influence users of assets

• Excellent written communicator; able to write clearly and concisely to educate, inform and guide

• Strong problem-solving skills; able to identify issues or areas of improvements and develop a plan of action or solution
