At Carter Vintage, we’re proud to call ourselves one of the largest vintage guitar shops in the world; and we know that’s not something we’ve built alone. It’s our incredible staff, our community, and our love for these instruments that make this place what it is.
 
We’re looking for someone based in Nashville who’s ready to work full time creating content alongside a team that genuinely loves what they do. You’ll get to work side by side with some of the best in the business, cross paths with incredible musicians and members of the music community on a regular basis, and travel with us (yes, that includes trips back and forth to LA!). Add in the everyday perks of being surrounded by some of the finest guitars on earth, and it’s safe to say this isn’t your average 9-to-5.
 
If you’ve got the eye, the skill, and the passion for storytelling through video, we’d love to see your work.

We can’t wait to meet you.
