Contract Videographer, Photographer, Editors (Pleasanton, CA)

Do you enjoy creating content about cars just as much as driving them? Do you detest a media career full of bland corporate interviews? Wish your work focused on awesome cars and motorsports-related gigs? We’re offering the opportunity to combine your artistic and automotive passions by using your creative talent at Apex Wheels!

We’re collecting resumes and portfolios for Videographers, Photographers, Video Editors, Production Assistants, and other like-minded Creatives to perform work on a contract-basis for Apex Wheels.  These gigs will take place in our Pleasanton office and various locations around the Bay Area. Projects may include but are not limited to creating social video content, educational content, event photography, prototype imagery, product photography - all the content you see across our channels as well as exciting new initiatives!

For contractors who are interested and have a solid team fit, there is the potential for contract work to become an on-staff (W2) position of employment with Apex, including the ability to participate in our full benefits offering.

Please respond to the following prompt when you submit your resume and portfolio: Help us understand how you’d like to use your creative talents to support Apex’s mission. Tell us about your strengths and skills as a creative and the type of work you see yourself doing (photography, videography, a combination, something else etc.). Tell us a bit about the type of work you enjoy the most and the type of work you dislike.

Apex’s Creative Team will keep your contact information on file for a minimum of four years and may contact you directly to discuss available contracts.  If at any time, you wish to delete or alter the information you have submitted, please contact Heather@apexwheels.com.
