Role overview
About us
We’re Alamy, home to the world’s most diverse stock photo and video library. With over 430 million images and clips, we showcase
the work of individual photographers, picture agencies, and archives from every corner of the globe.

Our core values are Collaboration, Integrity, Innovation, and Ambition. We encourage everyone to bring these to life in their

This is an 8-month fixed-term position, working core shifts between 8:00am and 8:15pm, with occasional flexibility required for
evening shifts up to 11:00pm.
Joining Alamy as an entry-level professional is a fantastic chance for those with no prior industry experience to launch an
exciting career in the creative world of media and photography. You’ll serve as the vital first point of contact for our

* Handling customer complaints professionally, escalating issues to management when required.
* Using standard response templates effectively while actively suggesting improvements and creative enhancements.
* Building strong relationships with regular customers and support the onboarding and training of new team members.
About you.
To be successful in this role, you’ll be highly organised, confident and motivated when interacting with customers.
Previous customer service or transferrable skills are essential as are excellent written, verbal communication skills and meeting
deadlines.
MS Office applications like Word and Excel are required and Salesforce is desirable.

* 5 weeks holiday plus 8 public holidays (pro-rated for part time employees)
* Competitive salary
* Life assurance (4x salary)
* Enhanced parental leave
