  • Deliver assets optimized for social (IG, YT, paid), digital (bauer.com, ecomm, & paid ads), retail (in-store signage, etc).
  • Ability to share set/space with multiple parties: video, native shooters, product managers, etc.
  • Expert at in-action photography and working with athletes of all levels - beginner to pro.
  • Perform image processing and transfer with re-touch capabilities.
  • Maintain strict standards of quality control, staying up to date with art direction and adhering to guidleines/specs.
  • Monitor all studio photography equipment and manage photography maintenance and tools.
  • Assist on editorial and creative marketing shoots and ad hoc projects as required.
  • Support and grow roster management of content sourcing photographers.
  • Stay up-to-date on industry tools, techniques, and best practices in photography.

Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of relevant field experience in sports industry with commercial, brand or in-house photography.
  • Advanced knowledge of photography, lighting, Adobe Suite, color treatment and photo editing.
  • Team player with great communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Creative thinker who problem solves and able to process high volumes of workflow.
  • Ability to influence on-set decision making - i.e., pace setting, model positioning & model expression.
  • Direct experience producing work for sport, lifestyle, performance, or culturally-driven consumer brands; familiarity with athlete-driven content and emerging tools (including AI) preferred.
  • Operate out of Exeter, NH office (in-house studio location) and travel as needed and/or required by essential job functions.
