The Gig.

We hand you the client, the systems, and an in-house editing team. You run the accounts and own the creative. That's the deal.

You'll manage client accounts end-to-end: strategy, shoots, posts, community. Our ops team handles acquisition, invoicing, and edits so you can focus on the craft. Prove yourself here and grow into a full-time role as we scale.

How You Get paid.

15% / RETAINER
Recurring, month after month

This is a commission role, and a generous one. You earn 15% of every monthly retainer you manage, paid for as long as the client stays with us.

Run more accounts, earn more, every single month. Your income compounds as your roster grows. No chasing invoices. We bill the client and pay you like clockwork.

Consistent performers get first pick of new accounts and the fast track to full-time.

Who This Is For.

  • You're a skilled content creator or editor who wants consistent, meaningful work without chasing down clients.
  • You're not fully booked yet, and you're hungry for reps, results, and long-term relationships.
  • You love content but hate sales calls, pitching, and project management.
  • You want recurring income that grows with you, plus a real shot at a full-time role if you kill it.
  • Whether you want to stay a contractor or move into a full-time seat, both paths are open.

What You'll Do.

  • Communicate with clients via WhatsApp
  • Run client meetings
  • Create shot lists, strategy docs, and social media planners
  • Direct content shoots
  • Handle graphic design
  • Schedule and post across multiple accounts
  • Brief and request edits from our editor team
  • Engage and build communities online
  • Execute social strategies that bring measurable results

What You Bring.

  • Experience managing multiple accounts with proven results
  • Content shoot experience. You know how to direct content days
  • Sharp communication skills
  • An eye for data-driven decisions
  • An understanding of how psychology drives video performance
  • Thick skin and a fast-learning mindset
  • A genuine love for social. This isn't just "a job" for you

What You Won't Have to Do.

  • Find your own clients
  • Manage backend ops, scheduling, or invoicing
  • Sit through pitch calls or chase new business
  • Edit every clip yourself

What we handle for you: Clients are handed over with no acquisition required. You get an in-house editor team plus comms support, proven content systems to follow (no guesswork), and a clear path to a bigger role as we scale.

Don't Apply If.

  • You're looking for a comfy, slow-moving job.
  • You want a fixed salary with zero link to your performance.
  • You can't take blunt, constructive feedback.
  • You fold under deadlines or high expectations.
  • You suck at communication.

Why MAD.

  • Recurring commission. 15% of every retainer you run, paid month after month
  • Real growth. We're scaling, and top performers go full-time fast
  • Remote + flexible. Work from anywhere as long as you meet deadlines
  • No corporate BS. We value speed, ownership, and creativity
  • Fun, young team. You'll collaborate with people who want to win
