Social Media Assistant – Instagram & TikTok Content Team
Worldwide
Hello! We’re building and scaling a growing network of social media pages, and we’re looking for talented Social Media Assistants who genuinely understand social media and what makes content perform on Instagram and TikTok. This is more than simply scheduling posts. We’re looking for people who know how to find great content, recognize trends and viral moments, create engaging posts, edit short-form videos, write attention-grabbing headlines/captions, and consistently manage multiple social media pages. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING: • Managing multiple Instagram and TikTok accounts • Finding relevant, trending, and engaging content • Identifying viral moments and content opportunities • Creating and editing short-form videos, Reels, and TikToks • Writing strong headlines, hooks, and captions • Using Canva, CapCut, or similar creative tools • Posting and scheduling content consistently • Creating and managing content calendars • Organizing content and tracking posts using Google Sheets/Excel • Monitoring trends across different platforms • Following different content strategies for different accounts • Helping test new content ideas and strategies • Helping grow pages over time THE BIGGER PICTURE: We’re building a long-term social media operation, not hiring someone just to make a few posts. As we grow, Social Media Assistants may be responsible for managing several different accounts at the same time. Each account may have a different audience, content style, and strategy. Because of this, you need to be organized, adaptable, creative, and comfortable working with different types of social media content. You should be able to receive a strategy and direction for an account and then help execute it consistently without needing someone to tell you every small thing to do. WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR: You should be someone who genuinely understands Instagram and TikTok and spends enough time on social media to recognize what makes people stop scrolling, watch, share, comment, and follow. You do NOT need to be an expert at absolutely everything. You also need to have iCloud so we can iMessage and FaceTime audio. However, you should be: • Creative • Organized • Reliable • Fast and responsive • Comfortable working independently • Good at following instructions • Able to learn new systems quickly • Interested in social media trends and growth • Comfortable managing multiple accounts once trained Experience with Instagram, TikTok, Canva, CapCut, Google Sheets/Excel, content calendars, video editing, content research, or social media management is strongly preferred. AVAILABILITY IS VERY IMPORTANT: We are building a global team with people working across different time zones so that we can have coverage throughout the day. When applying, please answer ALL of the following: What country and time zone are you located in? What hours are you normally available to work? Please include your availability in Eastern Time (EST/ET) if possible. How many hours per day and per week can you consistently commit? Tell us about your experience managing Instagram and/or TikTok pages. Which tools are you comfortable using? (Canva, CapCut, Adobe Premiere, Excel, Google Sheets, etc.) Please provide examples of social media pages, videos, Reels, TikToks, or other content you have worked on. How do you normally find trending or viral content before deciding what to post? In your opinion, what makes someone stop scrolling and watch a social media post? Once you understand our system and are fully trained, would you be comfortable managing multiple social media accounts? IMPORTANT: put in your middle or application with the words “SOCIAL TEAM 2026” so we know you actually read the entire job posting. If your application does not have “SOCIAL TEAM 2026,” we may not review it. We’re looking for people interested in a LONG-TERM opportunity. As our social media network and team grow, there will be opportunities for additional hours, increased responsibilities, and growth within the team. If you love social media, understand internet culture, are organized, and want to help build something that is growing, we’d love to hear from you.
