“Turn Real Products into Listing Images That Sell, with an Artist’s Eye and the Speed of AI”

About Us

JP Ecommerce has been named one of the top-ten fastest-growing businesses in Minnesota by Inc. 5000 for four consecutive years. We provide customers with high-quality bedding through our brand Bare Home and are expanding into USA-made mattresses. As a leading textile retail company, we source premium products from China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey, and we have built a reputation for sustainable and ethical sourcing.

What sets us apart is an entrepreneurial, collaborative environment where team members see their ideas turn into action quickly. We are a Minnesota-based company with small-town values and big dreams, where you can help shape not just this role, but the company culture itself.

Position Overview

The Digital Production Artist creates the product imagery that sells Bare Home on Amazon, Walmart, Target, and barehome.com. You will design listing image sets, infographics, and comparison charts, art-direct AI-generated lifestyle scenes, and retouch and finish every image to our premium brand standard. Reporting to the Senior Digital Production Artist, you will bring creative judgment to how each product is shown while delivering a high volume of accurate, on-spec assets.

We create most of our lifestyle imagery with AI, so we are looking for someone who pairs strong design fundamentals with real, hands-on AI skill, and who knows when an AI image is not accurate enough to use. Our customers buy based on what they see, so the color, texture, and detail in every image must match the product they receive.

Why On-Site Matters

Great product imagery starts with the product. Even when the scene is AI-generated, the color, texture, and detail have to match what the customer receives. You will work hands-on with our bedding and swatches, capture reference photos, and collaborate in person with our creative team at our Columbus, MN headquarters, where ideas move from concept to live listing quickly.

Preferred

• Experience retouching and color-correcting textile, bedding, or home goods imagery to match physical samples

• Product styling or art direction for lifestyle imagery, such as bedding, flat lays, or room sets, whether photographed or AI-generated
