Personal Brand Strategy • Content Curation • Account Management I’m seeking an experienced, highly discreet Personal Social Media & Digital Presence Manager to take a thoughtful, hands-on role in refining and managing my personal online presence. This is not a traditional business social-media position focused on producing promotional content or maximizing follower counts at any cost. I’m looking for someone with excellent aesthetic judgment, social awareness, discretion, and an intuitive understanding of how a strong personal profile should feel. The objective is to make my social presence more polished, interesting, cohesive, and engaging while still appearing natural and authentic. Scope of Work Content & Photo Curation I have an existing library of photographs and content. You will help determine: * Which photographs are genuinely strong enough to post * Which images work best for permanent posts versus Stories * Which photographs should not be used * Optimal sequencing and spacing of content * When multiple photographs should become a carousel * How to balance lifestyle, social, travel, professional, and other content * Whether existing posts should remain visible, be archived, or be reorganized * How to maintain a sophisticated profile without making it appear excessively curated A major part of this role is simply having exceptionally good taste and being willing to say when a photograph or piece of content does not work. Profile & Digital Presence Optimization Review the account as a whole and identify opportunities to improve: * Profile presentation * Bio and profile imagery * Existing feed * Highlights * Archived content * Captions * Content mix * Posting cadence * Overall aesthetic consistency Recommendations should consider how someone encountering the profile for the first time would perceive it. Engagement & Account Management Help improve the overall health and organization of the account through thoughtful management of: * Direct messages and message requests * Existing conversations * Unanswered or stale outbound conversations * Older interactions that are no longer relevant * Comments and other account activity * Following/follower organization where appropriate This may include identifying and, when instructed, removing or unsending older outbound messages that have remained unanswered or no longer make sense to retain. The goal is not artificial engagement or aggressive growth tactics. I want thoughtful optimization that improves presentation and engagement while remaining natural. Personal Brand Strategy Over time, I would like this person to develop an understanding of my preferences and independently advise me on questions such as: * “Which of these photographs should I post?” * “Does this belong on the feed or a Story?” * “Which photo should lead this carousel?” * “Should this existing post stay?” * “Does this caption work?” * “Does the overall profile feel balanced?” * “What type of content is currently missing?” * “How can the account become more engaging without looking manufactured?” I value someone who will exercise independent judgment rather than simply agree with everything I suggest. Ideal Candidate You may be a particularly strong fit if you have experience in: * Personal social media management * Personal branding * Influencer or creator account management * Executive/private-client social media * Lifestyle content curation * Photography or creative direction * Instagram feed curation * Organic audience development Agency experience is welcome, but I am particularly interested in people who have managed individual personalities rather than only corporate brands. Strong written English and excellent visual judgment are important. Discretion & Confidentiality This position involves unusually sensitive access. The selected freelancer may encounter private photographs, direct messages, personal conversations, contact information, account activity, and other information that is not public. The selected freelancer must sign a separate NDA and confidentiality agreement before receiving access to any private accounts or materials. Confidential information may not be photographed, screenshotted, downloaded, retained, reproduced, discussed, disclosed, or used for portfolio/case-study purposes. Account credentials and private materials must be handled according to agreed security procedures. Initial Engagement I would prefer to begin with a paid trial project rather than immediately committing to ongoing account management. For the trial, I may provide a representative collection of photographs and ask you to: 1. Select the strongest images. 2. Rank your top choices. 3. Explain briefly why you selected them. 4. Recommend which belong on the feed versus Stories. 5. Propose a small posting sequence. 6. Identify anything you would intentionally leave out. This is primarily intended to evaluate judgment and aesthetic compatibility, not how much unpaid work a candidate is willing to perform. If we work well together, this can become an ongoing engagement involving account management, content selection, posting strategy, engagement optimization, and periodic digital-presence reviews. To Apply Please send: 1. A brief description of relevant experience. 2. Examples of personal accounts, creators, executives, or individuals you have helped manage, where confidentiality permits. 3. A portfolio or examples demonstrating your visual/aesthetic judgment. 4. Your approach to making a personal social-media account more engaging without making it appear manufactured. 5. Your hourly or monthly rate. 6. Confirmation that you are comfortable signing an NDA and working with highly confidential personal information. Please begin your proposal with the phrase “Personal Presence” so I know you read the complete description. I am prioritizing judgment, discretion, taste, and reliability over the lowest hourly rate.
