Role Description:

WOLFpak is seeking a versatile Photographer who can capture the energy and essence of our brand through dynamic lifestyle, product, and content photography. This role involves everything from shooting on-location lifestyle campaigns and athlete/editorial content to producing e-commerce product imagery, social media assets, and behind-the-scenes moments.

We are excited to offer you this position if you're the right fit! To start, we’d like to bring you on as soon as possible on a three-month 1099 contract at a rate of $257.90 per day. After that, we’ll discuss the possibility of transitioning into a full-time role.

We take this approach so that both sides have a chance to gauge the fit. This is a key creative role for the company, and since it’s hard to measure chemistry and alignment in interviews alone, we prefer a working trial to ensure mutual success.
