Photography Manager Angel City FC
Theriseofwomensfootball, Santa Monica, California, United States, 90403
Job Description
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
Qualifications
4–7 years of photography experience, ideally within sports, music, editorial, or lifestyle brands
Strong portfolio demonstrating a mix of sports action, portrait, behind-the-scenes, and editorial work
Mastery of photo editing and management software such as Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, and Capture One
Proven experience managing and organizing large volumes of visual assets within an asset management system (experience with ScorePlay is a bonus!)
Comfortable owning pre-production and post-production logistics, including gear, lighting, shot lists, and edit reviews
Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail—able to manage time-sensitive requests with accuracy
Positive, collaborative, and solutions-oriented mindset with a team-first attitude
Ability to work nights, weekends, and non-traditional hours, including games
Ability to travel to cover away games, often for 1-3 days at a time
ACFC Perks & Benefits
Fully funded medical, dental, and vision coverage
401K plan
Flexible PTO policy
Paid parental leave
Cell phone reimbursement
Snacks, beverages, and dog-friendly HQ in Santa Monica
Complimentary tickets to home games
Bi-annual performance reviews
Compensation In addition to the benefits above, this role has a compensation range between $70,000 – $85,000 annually, based on experience.
Angel City believes in building a safe place for creative expression and celebrating that which makes us who we are; welcoming unique and personal backgrounds and experiences. We’re proudly building an inclusive Angel City team.
