Lomography is a globally active organization dedicated to experimental and creative analogue photography. Originally established in 1992 by a group of offbeat students as an arts movement, but fuelled by fiery passion and burning curiosity, the Lomographic Society soon grew into an international company.

We develop, market and distribute our products via worldwide photo stores, design stores, museums and lifestyle stores, as well as via our Lomography websites available in 17 languages which besides the online shop also host photo magazines and platforms for an international community of over one million “Lomographers”. Lomography regularly hosts events and exhibitions.

The Lomography headquarters is in Vienna and has subsidiaries in London, Paris, NY, Tokyo, HK, Shanghai and Manila.

For our subsidiary in Manila, we are looking for a General Manager to operate and develop the Lomography’s business in the Philippines. You will also be responsible for our Manila team, who is the backbone of our operations worldwide including creative, sales, ecommerce, finance, administration and customer service.

You will focus strongly on our Philippines market, and represent Lomography as its country manager. We are seeking a person with a smart mind with ambition, combined with great communication skills and curiosity, someone who wants to take the opportunity to interact with and manage a handful of hyper creative Lomography Staff. Do you enjoy challenges and want to work in a fast paced creative environment? Are you hardworking and have an interest in photography, online sales, wholesales and marketing? If so, you may just be the person we’re looking for!
