Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

**About the role** I run Esmeralda — a master-planned village project in Sonoma County, CA — plus related brands (Edge Esmeralda, my personal presence). I post regularly across Instagram and Twitter and need a detail-oriented, design-savvy collaborator to turn my ideas, templates, and rough notes into polished, ready-to-publish posts. I'll review and hit "publish" myself; your job is to get everything 95% of the way there. This is a flexible, part-time arrangement: **roughly 3–7 posts per week** (sometimes duplicated across multiple platforms), sent in batches. Some overlap with US hours (PST/EST) is nice, but the work is mostly async. **What you'll do** - Take my ideas, templates, and rough notes and produce finished post drafts so that I can simply press "publish" after reviewing them, including organizing them very clearly within Notion & Google Drive so they're easy to re-use - Design on-brand graphics in **Figma** (I will provide some template components — you adapt and extend them) - Write light, clean captions and copy in strong, natural English. Look at my previous posts to get inspiration - Generate your own post ideas when I'm running low; pitch concepts proactively - Tee posts up so they're fully staged for me to review and publish in one click (via Meta Business Suite / scheduler and Twitter) - Work primarily on @esmeralda_institute (Instagram), with some Twitter for @esmeralda_inst, @devonzuegel, and @EdgeEsmeralda **Tools you'll use** - **Figma** — design (hard requirement; you'll be tested) - **Slack** — day-to-day communication; you'll work from a guest channel and be responsive async - **Notion** — where we organize the work: idea intake, content calendar, brand guidelines - **Google Drive** — where we store materials: assets, templates, references - **Meta Business Suite** — staging Instagram drafts for my review - **A Twitter/X scheduler** (e.g. Typefully or Hypefury) — staging X posts and threads **You're a great fit if you** - Are comfortable in Figma - Have excellent written English with a feel for tone and brand voice that matches our existing accounts - Have a strong design eye — clean, modern, typographically literate - Are comfortable working async in Slack, Notion, etc - Are reliable, fast, & low-maintenance - Care about the details and take pride in polished output **Bonus** - Interest in cities, architecture, urbanism, or placemaking - Experience running social for a brand or public figure - Comfortable with scheduling tools (Meta Business Suite, Later, etc.) - Speaks & writes fluently in Spanish **Structure & pay** - Paid 2-week trial at a flat fee, so we can both see if it's a fit - After the trial: flat weekly fee, paid monthly, for an agreed volume (~3–7 posts/week) - We initially need this for a few months, with potential to become long-term **Logistics** - Fully remote - Part-time, ~3–7 posts/week **To apply** - Share your portfolio (especially social/graphic work) – bonus points if you include examples of the instructions your prior employers gave you to produce that work, so I can see what prompted that work - Give me feedback on our existing social media posts + ideas for other similar posts you could create: https://www.instagram.com/esmeralda_institute; https://twitter.com/edgeesmeralda; https://twitter.com/esmeralda_inst - Note your time zone and typical turnaround time
