Creative Specialist (University Photographer)
Permanent whole time post
UCC wishes to appoint an experienced individual to the role of Creative Specialist (University Photographer). The University Photographer will join a small, dynamic media team within the IT Services department, working in close partnership with the Offices of Media & Communications and Marketing & Brand Impact. This role is central to shaping the visual identity of the university, capturing compelling imagery that reflects its people, research, culture, and strategic priorities.
A key focus of the role is the planning, delivery, and management of photography for high-'profile university events, including ceremonies, VIP visits, public engagements, and major institutional announcements. The postholder will also take responsibility for the organisation, maintenance, and strategic development of the university's photographic archive using the new Canto digital asset management platform.
This is an on-campus based position and is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-'moving environment, enjoys working with a wide range of people, and can balance creative vision with operational discipline.
Please note that Garda vetting and/or an international police clearance check may form part of the selection process.
For an information package including full details of the post, selection criteria and application process see https://ore.ucc.ie/. The University, at its discretion, may undertake to make an additional appointment(s) from this competition following the conclusion of the process.
