Job Description

Job Title: Inbound Account Executive at Focal

Location: Remote, with preference given to candidates able to work hybrid or in-person (Victoria, BC)

Job Type: Full-Time

Most wedding photographers still rely on word of mouth, expos, and sheer luck to grow their business. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

These methods are outdated, ineffective, and slow, leading to many photographers leaving the industry altogether.

That’s why we built Focal—to help photographers build strong and self-sustaining businesses.

Does it work? Here’s what our photographers are saying:

“Focal has been truly invaluable to my wedding photography journey. From setting up my website, to the Focal Ignite program, they have upped my business to the next level again and again. With my website, they have helped me with creating packages that are tailored to my market, and helped drive in more business. I don’t think you can get that with any other company. Speaking on more business, Ignite has helped put more eyeballs on me than ever before. Because of Ignite, I have booked weddings before an engagement shoot even happens. *Correction: my VERY OWN SALES MANAGER BOOKED THE WEDDING, and all that was needed from me was a video call! I can’t thank them enough!” - David Anthony
