About KREWE
KREWE is an independent, high-fashion eyewear brand rooted in the vibrant culture and boundless creativity of our hometown, New Orleans - and now proudly headquartered in both New Orleans and New York City. Since our launch in 2013, KREWE has grown into a dynamic brand celebrated for its distinctive, handcrafted sun and optical frames that reflect a deep commitment to quality, individuality, and design.
In 2022, we opened the doors to our NYC headquarters in the heart of the Meatpacking District, building a second home for the brand that brings New Orleans’ culture, creativity, and energy to one of the world’s most iconic design capitals. Our presence now spans brick-and-mortar boutiques, mobile retail concepts, and a thriving e-commerce platform - alongside distribution through premier independents and top national retailers. Celebrated for our unique approach to design, KREWE has cultivated a loyal following among style-conscious consumers and influential tastemakers.
As we continue to expand, we’re looking for passionate, driven, and innovative individuals to join our talented team. At KREWE our work is fast-paced, collaborative, and deeply mission-driven. Our people are high-performing and ambitious - not just about hitting goals, but about building something that’s original, culturally rooted and globally resonant. Every team member at KREWE has the opportunity to own their role and make a lasting impact. If this sounds like the right environment for you we invite you to apply below.
The Post Production Assistant plays a vital role in shaping how the world sees KREWE. You’ll support the Photo team across retouching, color correction, on-set assistance, and studio workflow. Think of this as a hybrid role: part pixel-perfect image specialist, part hands-on creative teammate.
This position is ideal for someone early in their career who loves fashion, understands the power of strong visual storytelling, and wants to build a future in photography, color-grading and retouching. You’ll learn from experienced creatives while contributing real work that appears across campaigns, eCommerce, social, and brand channels.
This role is based in our New Orleans Headquarters 5 days a week.
