ABOUT BIDBUS Bidbus is reinventing how people sell their cars. Instead of negotiating with a single dealership, sellers list their vehicle on Bidbus and compete in a live auction where multiple licensed dealerships bid in real time. By creating a transparent marketplace, we're shifting pricing power back to consumers. With over $18M raised, Bidbus is well-capitalized and scaling rapidly across multiple markets. As we expand nationally, we're building a brand that people genuinely enjoy talking about—not just another automotive marketplace. THE ROLE We're looking for a Social Media Host & Growth Creator to become the face of Bidbus across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other social platforms. You'll create and host engaging daily content around cars, dealerships, auctions, and the car-selling experience while developing original content series that people genuinely look forward to watching.

WHAT YOU'LL DO - Become the primary on-camera host and personality for Bidbus's social media channels. - Develop, film, and publish engaging daily short-form content. - Create recurring content series that build loyal audiences. - Visit dealerships, auctions, events, and customers to capture authentic stories. - Interview dealers, customers, team members, and other automotive personalities. - Turn social trends, industry news, and everyday moments into compelling content. - Collaborate with our Creator Growth and Marketing teams to execute campaigns. - Analyze content performance and continuously improve growth, engagement, and storytelling. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 2+ years creating content for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or similar platforms. - Comfortable, confident, and engaging on camera. - Excellent storytelling and communication skills. - Strong understanding of social media trends, hooks, and audience behavior. - Able to consistently generate ideas and produce high-volume content. - Self-starter who thrives in a fast-moving startup environment. - Experience building and growing a personal social media following. Bonus Points - Passion for cars, automotive culture, or marketplaces. - Existing creator portfolio or social media following. - Experience hosting interview-style or recurring content series. - Basic filming and editing skills. WHY JOIN BIDBUS? You'll have the opportunity to become the face of one of the fastest-growing automotive marketplaces and help build one of the most recognizable automotive brands on social media. Rather than following an existing content playbook, you'll help create it.
