## About Spadeberry
Spadeberry is a profitable software company that helps eBay resellers create and publish better listings faster. Our customers upload photos of items they're selling; our AI generates titles, descriptions, item specifics, and pricing suggestions that turn those photos into ready-to-publish eBay listings.
We're a small, profitable team serving a large and active base of eBay sellers. We're building out our content operation from scratch — and we want it to be good. Not polished-corporate good. Real, founder-led, community-rooted good. The kind of content that makes a reseller stop scrolling because they recognize themselves in it.

## What you'll do
This is an in-house, solo-operator role. No crew. You handle the full production workflow — filming, directing, editing, and delivering — on your own.
**What you'll be creating:**
- **Founder-on-camera content.** Andrew (CEO) will be a recurring face — product explainers, eBay tips, company updates, behind-the-scenes. You'll direct him, run the camera, and cut the footage.
- **Footage at our nearby eBay reseller store.** We have a real, active 8,000-item eBay business close to our Joplin HQ. You'll film the sourcing, the listing process, the shipping — the full reseller operation. This content is gold for our audience.
- **Product demos and tutorials.** Screen-capture and on-camera walkthroughs showing customers how to use Spadeberry features.
- **Short-form social clips.** TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts — edited from longer shoots or created standalone.
- **Team and culture content.** Office footage, team moments, the building — the kind of thing that makes a company feel real.
**You own the full workflow:** scout the shot, set up the lighting, run the audio, direct the subject, capture the footage, edit it, and deliver the final file. We'll give you feedback on direction and message. The rest is yours.

## What you'll bring
**Required:**
- **A portfolio or reel showing both filming AND editing.** Apply without one and we can't review you — there's no exception. If you can link examples showing end-to-end work (you shot it, you cut it), that's what we need to see.
- **You film AND edit.** This is a single-operator role. "I primarily edit" or "I primarily film" doesn't work here. You need both.
- **Solo operation experience.** You've shot scenes by yourself — setting up your own lighting, running your own audio, directing the subject, and rolling camera without a crew. If you've only ever worked with a team, this isn't the right fit yet.
- **Experience directing non-actors on camera.** Founders, business owners, real people who aren't professional talent. You know how to get an authentic performance out of someone who's nervous, stiff, or over-prepared. "Just be natural" isn't a technique.
- **Business content with real results.** At least one piece of content you made for a company or brand that drove a measurable outcome — views, clicks, sales, sign-ups. A number. Not "it did well."
- Willingness to be in-office in Webb City, MO (near Joplin) full-time. No relocation support is provided.
**Nice-to-have:**
- **Experience with eBay, Poshmark, thrifting, or online reselling.** If you've bought and sold online, you already understand the world our customers live in. That instinct shows up in the content you make. This is a significant edge.
- Experience creating content for software, SaaS, or tech products
- Familiarity with AI tools (video generation, captioning, editing assistants)
- YouTube channel or consistent social presence of your own
**We don't care about:**
- What gear you own (it matters less than what you do with it)
- Big-name clients — a strong small-brand portfolio beats a weak big-brand reel
