About Manly Bands

John and Michelle, co-founders of Manly Bands, started their company after a terrible experience trying to get John's wedding band. Not only could the jewelers not size John's big hands, but the choices they had were plain and boring. John wanted a ring he could get excited about. So they decided to shake up the wedding band industry. They quit their jobs, moved across the country, got married, and started Manly Bands all in 30 days!

John dove into the website and marketing while Michelle gave each ring it's unique personality and took excellent care of their customers. Michelle's mom and dad were helping them ship out the orders and write thank you cards while John's mom was making wood wedding boxes. Since 2016, they've moved to Utah and grown to now have an incredible team always pushing the limits of what can fit in a ring and how it can be captured on film.

Headquarters located in Lindon, Utah.

Our Mission

It's simple, Manly Bands helps every man (woman, and alien) find a genuine badass and unique-to-them wedding band. We believe if you are going to wear one ring for the rest of your life, then you better be guaran 'damn 'teed to love it. Manly Bands was created so that EVERYONE could have a buying experience with reverence, class, and love during the selection process.

This isn’t a “content job.” This is a creative ownership role.

We’re not looking for someone to take photos.

We’re looking for someone who can build moments, tell stories, and create content that actually moves people—and sells rings.

If you live behind a camera, obsess over lighting, see shots before they happen, and get fired up about making something insanely good… keep reading.

Who We Are

Manly Bands exists because buying a wedding ring sucked.

Too small. Too boring. Zero personality. So we fixed it.

We’ve built one of the most unique brands in the space—badass, story-driven rings with personality—and now we need someone who can bring that same energy to life visually.

We move fast. We push creative. We don’t do average.

The Role 

You’ll own content creation from idea → execution → final asset.

This is a hands-on creator role first, with leadership layered in.

Create

• Plan / Shoot / Edit / Deliver high-end product photography
• Capture lifestyle, campaign, and social content that feels like something
• Assist on video shoots and jump into editing when needed
• Make content that doesn’t just look good, it converts viewers into customers

Produce

• Plan shoots, build shot lists, and bring concepts to life
• Run set days like a pro (gear, lighting, flow, energy)
• Keep production tight, efficient, and high quality

Think

• Contribute to campaign ideas, hooks, and creative direction
• Understand what makes content perform—not just look pretty
• Maintain and evolve the Manly Bands visual identity

Own Your Craft

• Edit, retouch, color grade—whatever it takes to get it right
• Stay organized (files, assets, systems—no chaos creators)
• Continuously push your own quality bar higher

Who You Are

You’re not waiting to be told what to do. You show up, look around, and say: “We could make this way better.”

You probably:

• Have 5+ years creating high-level photo content
• Are elite with a camera + lighting setups
• Know Adobe Creative Suite like second nature
• Have a portfolio that makes people say “damn”
• Care about details most people don’t even notice
• Move fast without breaking quality
• Bring energy, humor, and ownership to everything you do

Bonus if you:

• Have ecom / product experience
• Have worked with digital asset management systems and understand tagging / categorization
• Are organized and have used tools like Clickup / Asana
• Can jump into video + motion when needed
• Have led shoots or small teams before
• Are the person everyone relies on when things get chaotic

What We Don’t Want

• Someone who needs constant direction
• Someone who plays it safe creatively
• Someone who just “gets the job done”

We want someone who cares about the output like it’s theirs.

Why This Role Is Different

• You’ll have real creative ownership
• You’ll work on a brand that actually has personality
• Your work will be seen by millions of people
• You’ll help define what Manly Bands looks like over the next few years

We work hard, move fast, and expect a lot.

But we also:

• Laugh a lot
• Make cool stuff
• And build things we’re proud of

Bottom Line

If you want a job where you just take pictures…this isn’t it.

If you want to create work that stands out, gets noticed, and actually matters, let’s talk.
