Part-Time Remote Freelance Photo Editor at Mendr

Mendr’s photo editors lightly edit images in Adobe Photoshop, so you’ll do things like clean up photos, change the exposure, brighten smiles or remove objects.

Mendr is just getting ready to launch its mobile photo editing app, so you’ll also be on the lookout for bugs and issues with the new portal.

Photo editors are expected to communicate with other editors over the Slack messaging system and bring a positive attitude and spirit of community to the job.

Apply soon — Mendr plans to fill its vacancies by March 10. If you’re selected, you’ll need to attend a mandatory webinar.

Requirements:

• 2 years Photoshop and photo editing experience
