Job Summary

Angel City FC is looking for a Photography Manager to shape how the world visually experiences our club—from the sideline to the studio. This is a hybrid role for someone with a sharp creative eye and strong operational chops—equal parts hands-on shooter and off-the-pitch organizer.

You\'ll be responsible for setting the photographic tone of the brand, managing gameday and non-gameday coverage, maintaining visual consistency across photographers, and ensuring our most important moments are captured, organized, and distributed. Whether you\'re capturing a goal celebration, coordinating a gear pull, or curating selects, you\'ll be the connective tissue between our visual expression and brand storytelling.

If you\'re a team player who thrives in fast-paced environments and believes in the power of a great photo to move culture and grow community—this one\'s for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Capture stunning, brand-aligned photography across matches, training, events, merch campaigns, and studio sessions
• Own tagging, asset management, and link distribution across departments and stakeholders
• Curate photo selects with a strong brand eye to ensure consistency across all content channels
• Plan and execute shoots—from concepting and gear prep to lighting and location scouting
• Develop a strong rapport with players, staff, and creatives to enable authentic storytelling
• Manage and schedule a roster of freelance photographers for gamedays, events, and special projects
• Lead day-to-day workflows between photography, content, comms, and brand teams
• Collaborate closely with creative and social teams on visual planning, coverage needs, and calendar alignment
• Uphold ACFC brand standards and photography guidelines across all deliverables
