Position Overview
We’re looking for a hands-on Media Creator to capture high-quality product photos and videos for our website, YouTube, and social media channels.

You’ll work closely with our marketing and graphics team to plan, capture, and organize content that highlights our products and brand story.

Film product demos, behind-the-scenes clips, and shop or field footage.
Operate lighting, audio, gimbals, and studio gear for consistent image quality.
Perform basic edits or color adjustments before handing off to the graphics team.
Organize and label media assets for marketing use.
Collaborate with marketing on shot lists, storyboards, and creative direction.
Qualifications
Skilled with DSLR/mirrorless cameras and lighting equipment.
Understanding of composition, focus, exposure, and color balance.
Basic knowledge of Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro.
Strong organizational habits and ability to work independently.
Interest in vehicles, off-road culture, or manufacturing is a plus.
Must live locally in or near Santa Maria, CA.
We Provide
Fully equipped media studio with cameras, lenses, lighting, and mics.
All required software and a dedicated media workstation computer.
A collaborative in-house graphics and marketing team — you focus on capturing, not final edits.
Competitive pay and room for growth within the company.
Full-time position with steady hours in a creative, fast-paced environment.
Long-term opportunity for growth in photography, videography, or content production.
