The Role
This is a customer-facing, field-based role where you'll travel to schools across Melbourne Metro and Regional Victoria to photograph students and staff for our school photography products.
You'll split your time between hands-on photography and administrative tasks, working with everyone from individual students to groups of 50+.

- Punctuality and a well-presented, professional appearance
