Photographer

JOB SUMMARY

The Multi-Property Photographer & Videographer is responsible for creating high-quality visual content across four properties: Amman Marriott Hotel, Dead Sea Marriott Resort & Spa, Petra Marriott Hotel, and Sheraton Amman Al Nabil Hotel.

The role is primarily focused on professional photography, videography, video production and editing, capturing the hotels’ rooms, restaurants and bars, culinary experiences, events, people, facilities, offers and guest experiences in a visually compelling and brand-appropriate way.

The position requires a hands-on creative professional who can independently plan and execute photo and video shoots, operate professional camera and lighting equipment, direct subjects when required, and transform captured material into polished photographs, videos, reels, stories and other digital assets.

The Photographer & Videographer will work closely with the Multi Property Marketing Communications team and hotel operational teams to translate marketing priorities, promotions and brand stories into engaging visual content. The individual will also maintain organized visual asset libraries and ensure all produced content complies with Marriott Hotels & Resorts and Sheraton brand standards.

A strong understanding of social media content formats and current visual trends is important; however, this is primarily a photography and videography production role rather than a traditional marketing or social media executive position.
