## About the role

You are the voice of TryNearby on the internet. You'll work closely with Yousef, our co-founder, to build out the whole voice, face, and feel of this company online. A lot of this job happens outside. You'll be on a street in Costa Mesa with a mic asking someone where they eat. You'll be in a half-empty restaurant on a Tuesday talking to the owner, handing them a card and telling them what we do. Then you go home and cut it.

## What they're looking for

- Comfortable filming in public and talking to strangers and restaurant owners on camera
- A fast editor. Same-day or next-day turnaround
- Internet native. You've made things people actually watched, and you can tell us why they worked
- You can run production, not just make it. Half this job is making sure other people's edits, voiceovers, and posts land on time
- Self-directed. Nobody is hand-holding you on shoot days
- Based in Orange County / willing to relocate, able to work onsite and drive around SoCal daily
