Retail Sales Associate (Part Time)

ABOUT KEH

We exist to put camera gear in the hands of ordinary people to unlock extraordinary potential.

KEH is the largest reseller of pre-owned camera gear in North America and the originator of the category, serving as a trusted name for photographers, videographers, and creators since 1979. The company maintains an inventory of more than 60,000 items, including over 10,000 unique models, and serves a loyal and diverse community of both professional and enthusiast photographers.

KEH is a branded, technical re-commerce company that takes ownership of inventory, inspects, repairs when necessary, and improves products before resale. Every item is assigned a KEH grading standard, a system pioneered by KEH that has become an industry benchmark for used camera equipment. All items sold through KEH channels are KEH Certified products, reflecting our commitment to quality, transparency, and trust.

KEH primarily sells through its own channels, including direct-to-consumer online platforms, phone and chat support, and physical retail. The company also operates one of the largest repair operations in the sector and is the only reseller of camera and related equipment with manufacturer-authorized repair capabilities.

The re-commerce market in photography and video continues to experience strong growth as consumers increasingly seek sustainable, cost-effective ways to buy, sell, and trade pre-owned products. Over the past five years, KEH has experienced substantial growth and has made significant investments in systems, technology, and people to support its continued market leadership. KEH is majority owned by D Cubed Group, a private-market investment firm.
