Automotive Dealership Photographer - Orange County CA
About The Position
CarData, Inc. is hiring a Field Service Representative, also referred to as an Automotive Photographer, to service car dealerships in Orange County, California. The role follows a structured, repeatable process for photographing and merchandising vehicles; it is not a creative photography position. Training is provided on required photo angles, sequence, framing, zoom levels, and quality standards. The work emphasizes consistency, accuracy, efficiency, attention to detail, and applying coaching and feedback. The core duties are taking vehicle photos and videos and applying window labels. Team members are paid per vehicle processed, with performance-based commissions and bonuses rather than a salary or hourly wage. The current route visits dealerships in Huntington Beach and Costa Mesa Monday through Friday, with three dealer visits per day. The listed schedule starts no later than 9 a.m. at the first location, and the end time varies with the daily workload. The position involves working independently outdoors and traveling between client dealerships. A reliable vehicle and a clean driving record are required. CarData provides dealership merchandising services, including photos, videos, 360 virtual walkarounds, and data collection. The position offers company-sponsored health insurance to eligible team members after 60 days and a 401(k) with company matching subject to the stated eligibility and vesting periods. The posting estimates annual earnings of $54,000–$60,000 and states that gas is fully reimbursed.
