🎥 FILMING REQUIREMENT — BEFORE YOU START

This role requires content filming in Dubai before your official start date.

We're building MVP Launch from the ground up — the marketing website, the product, the brand. Before we go live and you begin working with clients, you'll film a half-day content shoot at a professional studio in Dubai.

What you'll film:

• Educational course content for our Skool community
• 30+ Meta ads (cold, warm, and hot funnel)
• Video Sales Letter segments (to close cold traffic)
• Pre-sell "lobby videos" that make sales calls easy
• Long-form YouTube educational content
• Hundreds of short-form clips for social distribution

Important: Filming is ongoing. This isn't a one-time shoot. You'll regularly create ads, shorts, and long-form YouTube content as we scale. You must have at least some experience talking to a camera comfortably and professionally.

Initial filming details:

• Duration: 5–8 hours
• Payment: $300 USD (paid before work officially begins)
• Location: Dubai (red-themed studio at https://dubai.poddster.com/)
• Format: Mix of podcast-style conversations + direct-to-camera educational content
• Wardrobe: Bring multiple professional outfits for variety

Why this matters: This content will be used across our ads, website, and onboarding. You'll be the face of MVP Launch's talent operations for our U.S.-based audience, so you need to be confident on camera and articulate in clear U.S.-style English (no heavy accents).

Timeline:

• Filming happens first
• Content gets edited while we finish building the product
• You start working full-time 2–4 weeks after filming when we go live and have real clients
• During this time, you'll be active in our Slack as we prepare for launch

If you're not comfortable being on video or speaking on camera professionally, this role isn't for you.

About MVP Launch

MVP Launch™ exists to solve one massive problem: non-technical founders who can't build software companies on their own.

We don't just "build MVPs." We don't outsource to random freelancers. We don't hand over code and disappear.

Here's what we actually do:

We place a pre-vetted founding engineer directly into a founder's company, manage the entire build process as their fractional CTO, and launch a production-ready MVP in 8 weeks or less.

Think Toptal + Y Combinator + Stripe Atlas , packaged as a done-for-you product that actually ships.

Our offer:

• $25,000 MVP Build (Engineer Placement + 8-week delivery)

We guarantee the product goes live in 8 weeks. If it doesn't, they don't pay the remaining balance.

We only work with validated founders making $20k+ per month minimum. No side projects. No unproven ideas. Only serious operators with traction.

Your role is critical: You're responsible for finding, vetting, and placing the engineers and designers who make this possible.

What You'll Do (Day-to-Day)

You will own talent supply end-to-end for MVP Launch.

✅ Source and recruit high-caliber engineers and designers globally

✅ Administer paid take-home assessment tests via GitHub
