About us.
Alamy isn’t just a global visual content platform; it’s the fuel behind the creativity of some of the world’s most recognisable brands. With millions of high-quality images, videos and visual experiences, and a global community of over 150,000 contributors, we help customers tell powerful stories every day.
About the role.
We’re creating a brand-new Content Researcher role to help Alamy identify and unlock previously unrealised distribution revenue across our international partner network.
This role exists to surface opportunity. You’ll use your picture research and content expertise to spot where valuable content is currently underused, where market gaps exist, and where new collections, themes or approaches could drive revenue.
Working across editorial and commercial content, you’ll turn insight into action to help our partners pitch, promote and sell more effectively.
Because this is a new role, it comes with genuine opportunity. You’ll help shape priorities, ways of working and best practice, working closely with colleagues across research, marketing and distribution. It’s a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, variety and commercial problem-solving in a fast-moving, collaborative environment.
The role is hybrid, with a typical week involving three days in the office.
What you’ll be doing.
1. Identifying underutilised content, market gaps and emerging themes that represent new or unrealised distribution revenue opportunities
2. Curating and compiling tailored visual content for international partners in response to briefs, delivering high-quality lightboxes via dynamic links
3. Developing content ideas and collections designed to unlock demand and improve commercial performance
4. Reviewing daily content ingestion and flagging commercially relevant imagery to appropriate international partners
5. Planning and building weekly, monthly and annual country-specific collections to support partner pitching and sales activity
6. Adding and verifying missing content within collections, including gap-filling from contributors with territory restrictions
7. Managing editorial and commercial research requests via Salesforce, prioritising by partner deadline and revenue potential
8. Collaborating with other researchers, marketing teams and wider departments to share insight and develop ideas for international markets
9. Tracking trends in photography, media and popular culture and sharing insights
