Hello, we’re hiring.

Two positions, for now.

 

Betting and sports content

Looking for someone who can write well, speak coherently, and appear on video to generate content targeted at a national audience about betting and at a local audience about sports.

 

Skills required:

Must have experience as a quality, self-sufficient writer who can turn in clean copy and knows the basic tenants to Journalism, which is what we do here.

Must have a deep understanding of sports betting, lines, odds, and the ability to conduct superior research and analysis well beyond being just a jackass who knows sports. But if you’re also a jackass who knows sports, fine.

Must know Philly sports, as well.

Self-styled NBA expert.

Someone who can speak in clear English sentences for the purpose of appearing on podcasts.

Must be comfortable and embrace appearing in video distributed to tens or hundreds of thousands of people who will look to you for wisdom, intellect, and then most likely shred you to pieces in the comment section.

Must have thick skin (see previous requirement).

Technical proficiency with basic web tools and recording and editing programs.

Knowledge of SEO or other online marketing tactics, and a history of building an audience, is a bonus.

Availability to occasional work nights and weekends and be willing to step up when the situation arises.

Your experience must be something other than “I like sports” — you must have prior samples to show for all or most of the above.

 

Unspokens:

Self-starter

Comfort in a startup-small business environment

Ability to work from home or make daily commute to an office (still deciding)

Engaging personality

Excellent work ethic

Position: Full-time

Compensation: Entry to intermediate level

 

Video editor and producer

Looking for someone to shoot and edit in-house video for the purpose of generating multiple pieces of daily content on every social media platform.

 

Skills required:

Ability to shoot video with professional camera and lighting equipment, because we’re mostly ugly and will need help in that regard.

Prior experience editing videos, bonus if for a social setting. Though we get many of you have shot weddings, please don’t send us wedding videos unless they were edited for the ‘Gram.

Graphics, audio and formatting knowledge.

General knowledge of sports and their basic concepts, terms and framing.

Willingness to appear on-camera a bonus.

Also a bonus if you have other digital marketing skills.

Availability to occasionally work nights and weekends, sometimes up to one day per week.

Must have prior samples to show.

 

Unspokens:

Comfort in a startup-small business environment

Ability to work from home or make daily commute to an office (still deciding)

Excellent work ethic

 

Position: Contract or full-time

Compensation: Commensurate with level of work

 

How to apply

OK, this is your first test. If you can’t figure out how to send me an email, you are unqualified for the position.

Send an email, including a little bit about yourself – a resume if you have it is fine – but please include links to your publicly available social profiles and any prior relevant work and content.

I may not be able to get back to everyone, so if I don’t, we are genuinely appreciative of your interest.

 

CB Sports LLC is an equal opportunity employer, so we welcome applicants of all backgrounds. Unless you’re a Mets fan.
