About the Role
The Photographer works within the Marketing Department under the overall direction of the Marketing Manager. They work closely with the Reception Office and the River Manager to capture photo and video content to enhance the guest experience and convey the Kumsheen experience. This position allows creative professionals the opportunity to demonstrate their passion for the outdoor industry by providing an important element to customer experience.
In May, June and September, the photographer works part time capturing river trips for some of the larger groups we have, usually around 10-15 days per month. The rest of their hours are filled with other photography and video tasks including styled resort shoots, retail and merchandise images, social media images, etc as requested by the Marketing Manager. In July and August, river trips will depart daily from Thursday-Monday, so they will spend more time capturing guest content on the river, as well as capturing and processing additional marketing material as needed.
