Social Media Growth Manager

Social Media Marketing Manager Up to 25 hours/week | Remote | U.S. Business-Hour Overlap We're looking for a social media manager who's organized, fast, and confident in Canva, someone who brings new ideas and creative content to the table and is genuinely motivated by growing an audience, not just filling a calendar. This is not a fit for someone who wants to be told what to post, or who has never grown a social media account before. We're looking for someone who already knows the fundamentals of growing brands and driving usage and growth across social platforms. Platforms: Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter/X What Success Looks Like You'll own measurable growth in followers, engagement, and reach, and help build real excitement and community around our brand. We're looking for someone who treats KPIs as their own goals, not just numbers to report on. What You'll Own Manage content across all five platforms, keeping a rolling 30-day calendar at least 30 days ahead. Design and adapt content directly in Canva: posts, carousels, short-form video, captions. Bring fresh ideas and campaign concepts consistently, not just execute a calendar. Keep brand voice and visual identity consistent across channels. Manage comments, messages, and community engagement to build genuine connection with our audience. Provide light VA support to the marketing team as needed. Follow our content guidelines and flag anything sensitive before publishing. Track performance weekly against growth and engagement goals, and recommend what to scale, change, or cut. Time & Availability Up to 25 hours per week. At least 3 hours of daily overlap with U.S. Central Time, actively working during that window. Includes a paid 30-minute check-in Tuesdays and Wednesdays. What We're Looking For A track record of growing social accounts, not just maintaining them. Real follower growth, engagement lift, or audience-building results. Strong, independent Canva skills. Fast, organized, and self-directed. AI can support the work, but final content needs to show real judgment and originality. Interview Process Shortlisted candidates will do a 30-minute interview walking us through one project you worked on, what you did, and what results it drove. To Apply Answer all four screening questions below. Vague or generic answers won't move you forward. Paste a direct link to one piece of social content you personally designed in Canva (not just captioned or scheduled). Include the platform it ran on and what it was for. What specific tools or steps do you use to make sure your writing and design don't sound or look generic or AI-generated? What CST hours can you realistically commit to for daily overlap, including Tuesday and Wednesday check-ins? Please be specific and realistic given your other obligations. What specific results have you driven on a social account you managed? Give real numbers (follower growth, engagement rate, reach) and the timeframe.
