Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Your role sits at the intersection of sales, leadership, project managers, designers, inside partners, and outside partners, and your job is to turn everything happening across Axiom into a compelling story.
  • Photography is a core part of your role. You capture projects from concept to completion, progress photos, behind-the-scenes moments, time-lapse footage, finished installations, employee spotlights, and event coverage.
  • You understand composition, lighting, and visual storytelling, and you know how to create imagery that elevates both the craftsmanship and the people behind it.
  • Whether shooting still photography or short-form video, you create content that becomes the foundation for Axiom's website, social media, sales materials, award submissions, PR features, and future marketing campaigns.
  • You preserve it. You maintain and organize Axiom's growing library of photography, video, and project documentation, ensuring assets are properly cataloged, tagged, archived, and easy for the team to access.
  • Back at your desk, you shift into editorial mode. You're thinking months ahead, mapping out the annual marketing calendar and identifying which projects, partnerships, milestones, and employees deserve the spotlight.
  • Maybe you're coordinating with a PR partner about a potential media feature, connecting with a local organization about a collaboration opportunity, or aligning messaging with a client to ensure the story being told reflects everyone involved.
  • Every decision helps position Axiom's work where it belongs: in front of the right audience.
  • In the afternoon, storytelling becomes more strategic. You collaborate with the sales team, transforming photography, project details, and archival assets into polished presentations that clearly show who Axiom is and what the company can achieve.
  • You review the website, keeping the portfolio current with fresh photography, compelling project stories, and recent work.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in marketing, brand management, communications, or a related creative role
  • Professional photography experience with a strong portfolio showcasing architecture, interiors, fabrication, construction, hospitality, events, or commercial work
  • Experience capturing and editing both photography and short-form video for digital marketing
  • Experience organizing and maintaining digital asset libraries, photography archives, and project documentation using consistent file structures and metadata
  • Strong visual storytelling instincts and an eye for composition, lighting, and detail
  • Experience managing websites, social media platforms, email marketing, and content calendars
  • Excellent writing and editing skills across multiple formats
  • Experience collaborating with sales, creative, and leadership teams
  • Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud (especially Lightroom, Photoshop, and InDesign)
  • A self-starter who is comfortable owning the entire marketing function while collaborating across departments

Benefits

  • medical, dental, and vision coverage for employees, with optional plans available for dependents
  • 401(k) and Roth retirement options
  • after your first year, you’ll earn 20 days of PTO
