We think one of the most inspiring parts of working at Peregrine is seeing the ways our customers use Peregrine to solve some of their most complex operations and address their biggest challenges. We’re looking for someone to join the team who is not only a master of their craft - cinematography and post production - but also someone who has a vision for how to bring these stories to life that feels unexpected, engaging and shows just how seriously our customers take their roles in their communities. The ideal candidate balances vision with execution. They can execute on everything from the straight forward to the unique with the same level of thoughtfulness and creativity. This role is key to how we build our brand and will work across a number of different teams to help bring it to life.
The director of photography will play a foundational role in telling some of our most compelling stories across earned, owned and paid media channels.

As the first leader of this function, you will be both hands-on and strategic. You and your team will own category definition, positioning, messaging, product launches, sales enablement and impact stories. You and your team will work closely with product, engineering, sales, and our implementation and deployment teams.
