About the job

We build companies.
You film it.

Eddison builds companies, in public. Nobody films it yet. You do, and you own up to 49% of the media company we're founding within Eddison.

We could hire an editor who just films. We don't want that. We create companies out of everything we do. This one is yours to build.

About Eddison

Eddison is a European incubator, started by builders for builders. We build companies from zero, consumer and B2B.

One of our founders just sold a company: a leading B2B business he built to over 70 employees in 7 years. The biggest growth driver was his personal brand on LinkedIn, with 80,000 followers today. That's the starting point for the media company.

Next to launch: a furniture marketplace that aims to make furniture 50% cheaper and leans heavily into AI.

Why this role matters

01

Distribution decides how fast every company we build grows.

02

A personal brand was the engine behind our founder's last company. Our consumer companies need the same, on consumer platforms.

03

Right now nothing gets documented. We as founders don't have the time to film, edit and post.

04

The media company is its own business, not a marketing department.

The position

In the next 6-12 months you figure out how to monetise our personal brands, how to build reach systematically, and how this becomes a business that serves other companies too.

No. 1

Ideas

Content (shorts, longer formats), monetisation, systems to scale, podcast guests and formats. Nobody gives you a shot list.

No. 2

Production

You film, edit and post, several times a day, on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn.

No. 3

Systems

You build the AI workflows that turn one filming day into hundreds of pieces of content.

No. 4

Podcast

You set it up with the interesting people in our network: artists, successful founders, billionaire investors.

No. 5

Business

Content is the product. Sponsors, brand deals, affiliate commissions, B2B and the podcast are the money. You make the content pay for itself, then make it profitable.

You're not our editor. You're a co-founder of a media company.

What success looks like

01

Day 1

You film your own first workday and document everything.

02

Week 1

First weekly vlog live.

03

Week 3

Podcast running, one day a week, guests from our network.

04

Month 3

A content buffer in hand, so a week off stops nothing. Notary and shareholder contract.

05

Month 6

The media company pays for itself. 1-2 editors.

06

Month 12+

100 pieces a day. You run a team, not a camera.

What we're looking for

01

You're crazy about content, and you know why a video works.

02

You're social and good on camera. Not shy.

03

You get shit done, fast, without being told.

04

You're hungry and want to grow faster than 99% of the people around you.

05

You're loyal, and you say what you think, to anyone.

06

English (German nice to have). 18+.

Bonus

01

You have your own channel.

02

You've built something of your own, even if it failed.

03

You study Casey Neistat, Jon Olsson and MrBeast, and how Cluely and Kinso grow through social media.

04

You already use AI tools for editing.

Why join Eddison

01

Up to 49% of the media company.

Actual equity. High salary = smaller share. You decide.

02

Low fixed salary + uncapped profit share from day one.

We want risk-taking founders, not people who are comfortable. Hungry, organised and driven? You can make €10,000 net in your second month.

03

80,000 followers to start with.

Not zero.

04

A real story every day:

companies built from zero, in public.

05

Right to invest in Eddison companies,

written into your contract.

06

No bullshit hierarchy:

you work directly with the founders. Best argument wins.

07

Safe for both sides:

letter of intent the day you sign. Notary and shareholder contract after 3 months. We pay the lawyers and the notary.

08

The long game:

the media company films interesting people and builds companies with them. You own part of every one.

If you don't want the hard path, don't apply.

It's hard. Plan for 12 to 36 months, all in.
