We are constantly developing our portfolio of services, designed to automate many tedious manual tasks still undertaken by image buyers. Services such as image matching, reverse image searching and automatic keywording are all supported by our proprietary AI software.

We are looking for an organised, tech savvy, enthusiastic and experienced Account Director to join the team for up to a year. We would like someone to start by the beginning of April to allow for sufficient training and handover time.

  • Document writing and basic design: You will put together marketing and promotional material and proposal documents in keeping with the IDS branding. You will also be asked for input into UX design and put together layout and mock up designs for new features and products.
  • Office management: In addition to the above, you will be responsible for basic office management and upkeep. This involves a small amount of general admin and organisation.
