Job Description

Responsibilities

Exemplifies the desired culture and philosophies of Feeding Tampa Bay
Partner closely with the Social Media Coordinator and the broader marketing team to routinely audit content gaps, brainstorm asset needs, and identify storytelling opportunities that align with our master communications goals.
Participate in routine creative and campaign planning meetings to ensure visual production pipelines are explicitly tied to imminent social media, development, and organizational content needs.

Proactively manage the strategy, timeline, and physical execution of routine visual asset updates across our primary digital touchpoints (including website homepages, landing pages, and partner toolkits) to keep our public-facing media modern and accurate.
Manage physical shoot calendars to maximize efficiency during field visits, minimizing disruptions to operations and programs while maximizing the variety of content captured.
Plan, schedule, and execute high-quality photoshoots across a 10-county region, capturing the daily operational footprint of Feeding Tampa Bay, including programs, mega-pantries, volunteer experiences, and special events.
Capture compelling imagery that tells a clear, dignified story of our community, adhering strictly to active organizational campaign guidelines, approved visual aesthetics, and brand style guides.
Perform advanced editing, color correction, and retouching on raw images using standard industry tools to deliver polished, publication-ready files for print, digital, and social applications.
