Real Estate Photographer

About Us

At Roche Media Group, we set the standard for high-end real estate media. We capture the visuals (photos, videos, virtual tours, and aerial drone footage) that help agents and homeowners stand out on the MLS. We pride ourselves on being the local authority in real estate marketing, combining cutting-edge technology with unmatched customer service.

We are looking for a reliable, personable, and detail-oriented Part-Time Photographer to join our growing team. Based out of our St. George home office, we cover the entire local region, including Manhattan, Wamego, and Junction City. If you love photography, have a knack for customer service, and want a role where you can build a long-term career, we want to hear from you.

The Role and What You Will Do

As a field photographer, you are the face of Roche Media Group. You will travel to properties across our regional territory, interact with clients, and capture the media that makes listings shine.

Your Daily Responsibilities:

• Show Up and Shine: Arrive promptly at scheduled appointments with a professional, respectful attitude toward properties, homeowners, and realtors.
• Stage the Scene: Perform light prep work to ensure the home looks its best. This includes turning on lights, turning off ceiling fans, adjusting blinds, and stowing away minor clutter like phone chargers.
• Capture the Properties: Use company-provided, high-end equipment to shoot bracketed photos and execute virtual tours.
• Leave No Trace: Return the property to the exact state you found it, securely lock up, and leave.
• Seamless Offloading: Upload your daily captured media by the end of the day. No editing work is required for this position. You just upload your media and our team handles the edits.

Requirements:

• Must have a reliable means of transportation to travel to assignments across Manhattan, Wamego, Junction City, and surrounding areas. Mileage is reimbursed.

Personality and Skills: Who You Are

We can teach you technical framing, but we cannot teach personality. To thrive here, you need to meet the following criteria:

• A Confident Communicator: You will frequently interact with sellers and realtors on-site. You need to be friendly, personable, and confident enough to direct the room. For example, politely letting a seller know they can relax in the basement while you shoot upstairs, then swapping spaces.
• An Independent Problem Solver: You can operate seamlessly on your own in the field, representing Roche Media Group with authority.
• A Team Player: You collaborate well with the core team and support our collective goals.
• Driven for Future Full-Time Roles: If you want to move into a full-time position, you are someone who thinks ahead, solves problems proactively, and looks for ways to add value to the company when you have downtime.

Perks, Benefits and Growth

We believe in investing in our people. When you join Roche Media Group, you get access to excellent perks:

• On-the-Road Compensation: We pay mileage to cover your travel throughout our service region.
• Gear Perks: You will use high-quality, company-provided equipment for your daily shoots. You are also allowed to check out Roche Media Group equipment for your own personal or creative projects.
• Side-Hustle Friendly: We fully support your creative journey. You are permitted to continue doing independent freelance work on the side.
• Drone Certification: Want to fly? We will fully cover the cost of your FAA Part 107 drone exam as you train to add aerial operations to your toolkit.
• Health and Wellness: We offer a paid family membership to Wildcat Fitness and Fun for all full-time employees, as well as part-time employees who average 30 or more hours a week for a 6-week period.
• Variety: In addition to real estate, you will occasionally get the opportunity to assist on commercial, event, and wedding photo or video projects.
• Part 107 Sign-On Bonus: If you already have your Part 107 license, let us know during the interview. We offer a specialized sign-on bonus for pre-certified pilots, which is contingent on completing 1 year of employment.

The Path to Full-Time

While this role starts as part-time field photography, we are actively looking for someone who wants to scale up to full-time. For candidates who show drive and initiative, this position can expand into a full-time role involving digital media management, content quality control, and specialized creative work. We handle these advancement discussions directly during the interview process.

Hiring Process and Probation Period

We want to ensure we are a perfect fit for each other. Our hiring pipeline is as follows:

1. Initial Interview: A casual chat to discuss your experience, personality, and goals.
2. Paid Trial Shoot: A hands-on opportunity to show us your eye for detail.
3. 2-Month Paid Probationary Period: Once hired, you will undergo internal training. Upon passing your Roche Media Group internal certification, you will graduate from probation, be unlocked on our booking platform, and begin shooting independently in the field.
