    Set the look. Control the Pace. Elevate every shot.

    If you're a stylist who can move fast, think ahead, and deliver consistent, brand-right looks at scale—this is where you do it.

    About the Role

    At Straub Collaborative, we produce high-volume e-commerce content for leading retail brands. As a Stylist, you'll lead the execution of on-figure styling—translating creative direction and brand guidelines into clean, consistent, camera-ready looks.
