* Prepare merchandise to camera-ready standards by steaming, ironing, cleaning, assembling, de-styling, dismantling, and organizing samples for storage or return.
* Support studio production by assisting with product swaps, resetting merchandise, reducing on-set preparation, and keeping work areas stocked and shoot-ready.
* Track product locations and manage sample check-in, check-out, reconciliation, storage, transfers, and returns to maintain inventory accuracy.
* Partner with cross-functional product teams to communicate and resolve missing, damaged, incorrect, or otherwise unready merchandise.
* As business needs require, use generative AI tools to support image production while maintaining a safe, clean, and organized work environment.

* 1-2 years of related experience involving product handling, organization, inventory, retail, merchandising, or production support.
* Proficiency in Microsoft Office, along with basic computer and inventory-tracking skills.
* Strong organization, prioritization, and attention to detail, with the ability to keep products accurate, photo-ready, and properly tracked.
* The ability to manage multiple requests and changing deadlines in a fast-paced production environment.
* Effective communication, teamwork, and proactive problem-solving skills.
