Photographer & Content Producer

Join to apply for the Photographer & Content Producer role at Dock & Bay - Certified B Corp™️ We offer hybrid remote working from home (no office required just good vibes and strong WiFi), plus flexible hours to fit around life, weekly evening calls with our UK team, and regular in-person shoot days on the sunny Central Coast. While all desk-based work can be done from home, the role involves regular on-location and studio shoot days, so we’re seeking a candidate located on the Central Coast who can confidently support in-person production days. Our founders, Ben (Australia) and Andy (UK), started Dock & Bay back in 2015, after sharing the same struggle of standard towels being too bulky for their backpacks while travelling. It’s a hard knock life, eh? Following some intense brainstorming - that means pulling down a big red curtain and sticking pieces of white paper to it to create our now iconic stripes - D&B’s quick-dry, 100% recycled wonders were born. Fast forward 10 years, and Dock & Bay has become a certified B Corp, with over 100 products in 8 categories, selling in the UK, Australia, the US, Canada, and Europe. Our mission is to make the world brighter, and we need your help (if you fit the job description, obviously). We are on the list of theUK’s Best Places to work in the Retail, Best Places to work for Development, Best Places to work for Women, AND officially a Sunday Times Best Places to work, so you KNOW we’re going to look after you. THE ROLE IN A NUTSHELL Reporting into (and working closely with) the Head of Photo & Media, the Photographer and Content Producer will play a central, hands‑on role in producing, shooting and delivering Dock & Bay’s global photo and video content. As a small creative team of two, you’ll collaborate on everything from studio photography to large‑scale lifestyle campaigns, ensuring our colourful world is captured consistently and creatively across all key markets (UK, US, AU, CA and EU). Rather than taking full ownership, this role is about true partnership — planning shoots together, bouncing ideas, dividing responsibilities, and supporting one another to bring our visual vision to life. You’ll wear many hats and contribute to every step of the process: building briefs, coordinating production, directing on set, ironing towels (always lots of towels), styling, filming content, retouching imagery and editing video. This role is a hybrid remote position with no Australian office. You’ll be based on the beautiful Central Coast, working mostly from home, but jumping into shoots whenever the magic needs capturing in person plus the occasional collaboration day at a co working space or local café. We’re super open to flexible hours (school-friendly? Absolutely). However, on big campaign shoot days you’ll need to go all‑in for long, full days (around 2–3 per month), plus several smaller shoot days that will have more flexibility. You’ll also join regular evening calls with our UK team usually around 1–2 per week (they promise to bring good vibes). This is a mid‑level role where strong photography, retouching skills, and a creative eye are essential. A positive, can‑do attitude is just as important, and we can support and upskill you across most other areas.
