The Position

Evolve’s mission is to make vacation rental easy for everyone. Unlike DIY or traditional local property managers, our fresh approach to vacation rental management empowers homeowners and builds trust with guests. Providing our travelers with an accurate image of the home they’re about to book starts with the photos.

• Build, develop and retain a team of in-house photo editors - the number is subject to change given future team growth
• Manage communication with contract photographers
• Review edits of all photo editors to ensure quality and consistency across the team
• Monitor progress of photo editors and direct the growth and development of team members with varying experience and tenure
