Photo Director
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have content: About Totei (description). The Role (description). Then "Photo Responsibilities:" list. Then "Creative leadership:" list. Then "Basic qualifications". Then "Preferred qualifications". Then "Salary Range: $120,000–$145,000 commensurate with experience". Then application instructions (to apply...). Then EEO boilerplate (remove). Also "To apply..." we need to remove application instructions per instruction: remove application instructions. So we should not include that. Also remove EEO boilerplate.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need sections: About Totei (maybe heading "About the role"? Actually they said use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe combine About Totei and The Role?). But we have "About Totei" and "The Role". Could treat as "About the role" heading containing both description. Or separate? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we should create headings matching those typical sections. We have content for About the role (description of company and role). Responsibilities (Photo Responsibilities + Creative leadership). Requirements/Qualifications (Basic qualifications, Preferred qualifications). Pay (Salary Range). Benefits? Not present. Schedule? Not present. Skills? Not explicit separate; maybe part of qualifications. We'll include sections only if we have real content.
Thus:
About the role
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". So we should create headings matching those typical sections. We have content for About the role (description of company and role). Responsibilities (Photo Responsibilities + Creative leadership). Requirements/Qualifications (Basic qualifications, Preferred qualifications). Pay (Salary Range). Benefits? Not present. Schedule? Not present. Skills? Not explicit separate; maybe part of qualifications. We'll include sections only if we have real content.
Thus:
About the role
About Totei... The Role...
ThenResponsibilities
- ... list items from Photo Responsibilities and Creative leadership combined? Could separate but we can combine all bullet points.
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can split into two sub-sections? But only allowed headings from list; we could have just one Responsibilities section containing all bullets.
Then
Qualifications
- ... basic qualifications items and preferred qualifications items? Might be better to separate Basic and Preferred but they both are qualifications. Could have two sub-sections but not allowed headings? Could still use
for Basic qualifications and Preferred qualifications? The examples didn't list those exactly but they said e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So Qualifications is allowed. We could have Basic qualifications and Preferred qualifications as
or
- inside Qualifications. But we need to preserve all info; we can list them as bullet points under Qualifications, maybe differentiate with bold? Not required.

Salary Range: $120,000–$145,000 commensurate with experience
We should not include "commensurate with experience" if it's placeholder? Actually it's part of the salary range; it's not placeholder like "not specified". It's actual statement. So we keep. We must not include Benefits or Schedule sections because not present. We must not include application instructions or EEO. Now craft HTML. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive info from About Totei and The Role. Let's extract About Totei paragraph: "About ToteiTotei is dedicated to expanding appreciation for craft in all its forms, inviting readers into a broader and more nuanced understanding of what it means to create. Through vivid written and visual storytelling, we go deep with the people shaping culture—artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, authors, photographers, and more—to reveal the inspiration, process, rigor, and curiosity behind their practices. The spirit of exploration and discovery is central to everything we do." Note there is a typo: "About ToteiTotei". We'll keep as is but maybe fix spacing? We should preserve exactly? Probably keep as given but we can add a space: "About Totei Totei is dedicated..." but better to keep original? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The typo is part of the text; we should keep it exactly? Might be okay to keep as is. We'll keep "About ToteiTotei is dedicated...". Then The Role paragraph: "The RoleTotei is seeking a Photo Director to own original photography across the magazine. Photography carries as much of a Totei story as the writing does, and this is a rare opportunity to join an early team and build a distinctive photographic voice from close to the start. You’ll commission and art direct shoots, build a bench of photographers, and work story-by-story with editors and design from the assignment stage rather than after the copy is filed. The role is both strategic and hands-on: you’ll set the visual bar while also producing shoots, negotiating rights, managing budget, and preparing images for web, social, and print." Again there is missing space: "The RoleTotei". Keep as is. We'll combine them in amaybe two paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: list from "Photo Responsibilities:" and "Creative leadership:". Photo Responsibilities bullet points: - Commission and art direct original photography across features, franchises, social, and print projects, from concept through final selects - Build and maintain a bench of photographers with real range across genres, geographies, and levels of experience - Produce shoots end to end—including crew, locations, permits, travel, call sheets, schedules, and on-set direction - Work alongside design, web-dev, and editorial to anticipate a story’s visual needs, and ideate/execute photo direction for an immersive UX experience - Conduct photo research and archival sourcing, and manage licensing, rights, and usage terms - Edit and sequence images for each story, working with design on how they run across web, social, and print - Prepare and deliver photography for the first print issue and subsequent issues alongside our design partner - Oversee the photo budget in collaboration with the Managing Editor and Editor-in-Chief - Build and maintain the asset library, metadata, and rights records so images stay findable and reusable Creative leadership bullet points: - Work closely with the Editor-in-Chief on a cohesive photo and broader visual voice for Totei across platforms - Oversee direction across all commissioned photo, including collaborations with photographers for photo essays or portfolios and contributing photo editor commissions - Work alongside design to build a cohesive visual approach across interactive web features and their print counterparts - Join stories at assignment, shaping the visual storytelling alongside the editorial team - Set and hold standards for image quality, treatment, and consistency across everyone shooting for us - Act as steward of the brand with photographers, agents, galleries, estates, and subjects We'll combine all into one
