In-House Photographer/Videographer

ABOUT RIBBLE

Ribble Cycles is the UK's leading premium bike brand with a heritage of innovation, performance, and design excellence. We engineer and manufacture world-class bicycles in the UK, delivering cutting-edge technology and superior craftsmanship to passionate riders globally.

Working at Ribble means joining a team that lives and breathes bikes. We create products for real riders and how they ride, shaped by British roads, weather and grit. As the original outlier, our heritage runs deep, but our focus is always looking ahead. Joining Ribble means becoming part of a team obsessed with making meaningful work that moves the brand forward every day.

THE ROLE

This role is the engine room of Ribble's visual identity. You will create the imagery that helps to define the brand from precision product detail to dynamic lifestyle shoots to hero launch visuals that stop people in their tracks.

You will own the studio, drive visual standards, and produce high-quality content at pace. This is a hands-on, high-output creative role suited to someone who thrives on making, experimenting, refining, and obsessing over the detail.

Most of your time will be spent shooting and producing content in our dedicated studio, with additional on-location shoots capturing riders, movement, landscape, and real-world context. You will shape the look and feel of Ribble across campaigns, launches, e-commerce, and social.

This is not a coordinator role, it's for a doer. A visual storyteller who wants to elevate the brand and push what great looks like.
