Part-Time SDR — African Diaspora Social Media Communities (Remote, $5/hr + bonuses)
Worldwide
ABOUT US We're Storspay, a B2B cross-border payroll platform backed by Techstars NYC, 500 Global, Circle and JPMorgan Chase. Our founder was named to the Inc. 500 Founders list in 2025. We help businesses in the US and Canada pay teams, contractors and vendors in Africa and Latin America at a flat 2% all-in, instead of the 5-7% they lose on bank wires, with same-day settlement. 15 corridors live: Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Mexico, Brazil, Colombia and Argentina. THE ROLE We're looking for a part-time, fully remote SDR who already lives inside African diaspora social media - Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp - to find business owners in the US and Canada who pay teams or vendors back home. This role is 100% social channels: pages, groups, admins and influencers. Other SDRs handle email, churches, chambers and associations. Social is yours alone. You do NOT need to live in the US or Canada. You need to already be inside these communities online, with a real account and a real history. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Map and join the largest Nigerian, Ghanaian, South African, Kenyan and pan-African diaspora communities on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and WhatsApp. We give you a starter map of accounts and groups. - Build real relationships with page admins and group moderators. Negotiate shoutouts, pinned posts and permission to share. - Follow and engage the social accounts of diaspora chambers of commerce, business councils and association chapters. Their followers and event posts are exactly our audience. BOUNDARY: their public social audience is YOURS. Booking their executives belongs to the community SDRs. Do not email their staff. - Map diaspora influencers whose audience includes business owners. Pitch them our referral deal: $30 per closed business they refer. No flat fees, no free product, no upfront payments. - Engage genuinely BEFORE any pitch. Comment, answer questions, add value. See the 3-to-1 rule below. - DM warm prospects our savings calculator, book calls on our Calendly, and log every touch in our shared tracker. YOU POST AND DM UNDER YOUR OWN NAME This is important, and it is different from how a lot of SDR work is done. You do NOT ghost-write as our founder. You use your own account, your own name and your own face. In social especially, this is not optional. A DM from an account that clearly is not the person sending it is the fastest way to get reported, banned from a group, and blacklisted by admins who talk to each other. That damage is permanent. We learned the same lesson on email: messages sent in the founder's name from an account with no photo read as AI and get deleted. The moment our other SDR switched to her own name and face, she started converting. THE 3-TO-1 RULE - NON-NEGOTIABLE Three genuine contributions before any pitch. A useful comment, a real answer to someone's question, a helpful share. Never post a pitch in a group without asking the admin first. Never DM someone who has not interacted with you. Never mass-DM. A banned SDR is worse to us than no SDR. If you get removed from a community for spamming, the contract ends. TIMING Send your business DMs between 8 AM and 12 PM US Eastern. That is when North American business owners are actually at their desks. Anything landing after 4 PM Eastern gets buried overnight. Community engagement is different - diaspora groups are most active in the evenings and at weekends. Do your commenting and relationship building then. Do your asking in the morning window. THE OFFER YOU CARRY Members of a community we partner with get their first $5,000 of payments free, then a flat 2% all-in instead of the 5-7% a bank wire costs, same day, into a bank account or mobile wallet. The person receiving the money needs no account and no app. For influencers and admins: $30 for every business they refer that transacts $3,000 or more. Paid on results, not on posting. YOU'RE A GREAT FIT IF - You're African or African-diaspora and ALREADY active in these accounts and groups. You can show us your profiles on a screen share. - You know which influencers the community actually trusts, and which are hype. - Your DMs get replies because they sound like a person, not a bot. - You understand community etiquette. You have never been banned from a group for spamming, and you can explain why. - You can work at least 4 hours a day inside 8 AM - 12 PM US Eastern, plus evenings when the groups are live. WHAT YOU GET ON DAY ONE - A starter map of diaspora pages, groups and influencer accounts - Tested DM templates for admins, influencers and prospects, plus objection answers - The savings calculator link and a tracked referral code - Your own @trystorspay.com email address for anything that moves off-platform - A full playbook and weekly direct access to the founder HOURS AND PAY Up to 20 hrs/week. Manual time tracking is NOT enabled - tracked hours only. $5/hr, plus performance bonuses: $1 per qualified meeting held and $30 per closed customer transacting $3,000+ in volume. 1-month paid trial, renewable monthly on performance. GROWTH Social is an exclusive lane - no other SDR touches it. Consistently strong performance (8+ qualified meetings held per month) expands your lane and your hours, and puts you first in line to supervise other SDRs at a higher rate. YOUR TARGETS FOR THE FIRST MONTH 20 admins or influencers in real conversation. 5 partnership agreements (shoutout, pinned post or referral deal). 8 qualified meetings booked into the founder's calendar. Zero bans. TO APPLY, ANSWER THESE 3 QUESTIONS (applications without them are not reviewed) 1) Name 3 specific diaspora pages, groups or influencer accounts you would work in your first week - and how you'd approach each one. 2) Which diaspora social communities are YOU personally active in today? Give us the handles. We will check them. 3) Write the 60-word first DM you'd send to a group admin, in your own name.
