WHO SHOULD APPLY This opportunity is best suited for a freelancer who is comfortable with both business infrastructure and social media publishing.

OVERVIEW Qwonky® LLC is a newly established company with a registered trademark built around a simple idea: Qwonky is a new word used to describe observations, situations, coincidences, behaviors, designs, objects and activities that seem unusual, unexpected, ironic, amusing, confusing or simply "off." Primary Brand Line: Something's off? Call it Qwonky. The long-term objective is to create awareness, recognition and adoption of the word "Qwonky" so people naturally use it when they encounter something unusual, ironic, humorous, unexpected or slightly off. This project is somewhat unusual because the goal is not to promote a person, product, service or lifestyle. The goal is to introduce and encourage adoption of a new word. QWONKY WORD ADOPTION OBJECTIVE The primary objectives are to encourage recognition, adoption and natural use of the word "Qwonky." It is NOT follower accumulation, engagement metrics or influencer-style interaction. Content will help viewers understand that Qwonky is a word used to describe observations, situations, coincidences, behaviors, objects, designs or events that seem unusual, ironic, amusing, confusing, unexpected or simply off. Whenever appropriate, content should reinforce natural usage patterns such as: That's Qwonky. Really Qwonky. A little Qwonky. Seems Qwonky. Something's off? Call it Qwonky. Success is measured by people understanding, recognizing and eventually using the word themselves. SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY The strategy is primarily one-way communication. Content will be published to increase awareness, recognition and adoption of the word "Qwonky." While audience growth is welcome, follower accumulation is considered a secondary benefit rather than the primary objective. Over time, an additional objective is to encourage people to submit their own Qwonky observations, photographs, videos, coincidences, situations and discoveries for possible inclusion within the brand. I have little interest in actively following large numbers of accounts, participating in ongoing discussions, responding extensively to comments, or becoming highly engaged in social media conversations unless there is a clear strategic benefit. The objective is to consistently publish content that reinforces the Qwonky brand, encourages adoption of the word, and gradually builds a community of people who recognize and share Qwonky observations.   CONTENT MODEL Most content originates from personal real-world observations, photographs, screenshots, short videos and occasional AI-enhanced content. Content management infrastructure is already established and includes: Organized OneDrive content library Structured content workflow Existing social media accounts Domain registrations Secure credential management through 1Password Content is organized as: 1. Source Materials for Posts 2. Ready To Post 3. In Production 4. Posted I will provide content, concepts, captions and overall brand direction. Content creation is largely complete before it reaches the freelancer. The primary responsibility is preparation, publication, organization and platform management. Creative direction, content approval and final brand decisions remain with Qwonky LLC. PROJECT STRUCTURE Phase 1 - Infrastructure Completion & Platform Readiness Review existing accounts, domain portfolio, website status, workflows and platform readiness. Complete remaining business infrastructure items required to support long-term operation of the Qwonky brand. Current assets include multiple registered Qwonky and QwonkyQween domains, existing social media accounts, organized content libraries and secure credential management through 1Password. Phase 1 tasks will include: Reviewing and validating the existing domain portfolio and recommending an appropriate primary-domain and redirect strategy Establishing and configuring one or more branded Qwonky email accounts Integrating Qwonky email access on both Windows PC and iPhone Validating domain, account and recovery settings Confirming secure credential management through 1Password Reviewing website status and implementing a practical website solution Confirming readiness of all social media platforms Identifying and resolving practical issues that could interfere with ongoing publishing operations Delivering a fully functioning environment ready for Phase 2 Preferred technologies and platforms include: Squarespace for website development and ongoing management Microsoft 365 for branded email and business communications Printful and/or Printify for future print-on-demand merchandise fulfillment Applicants are welcome to recommend alternatives; however, preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience using these platforms. The objective is to complete and validate the business infrastructure so Phase 2 publishing operations can proceed efficiently and consistently. Phase 2 - Ongoing Publishing & Brand Awareness Following Phase 1, the anticipated initial engagement is approximately six months of ongoing support involving the scheduling, formatting, optimization and publication of approved content. Current publishing target: Approximately two posts per week Across the five existing social media platforms If successful, this workflow may continue indefinitely as awareness and adoption of the Qwonky brand expands through user-submitted observations, merchandise opportunities, licensing opportunities, sponsorships, affiliate relationships and other forms of monetization. PLATFORMS X Instagram Facebook TikTok YouTube FREELANCER ROLE The role is intended to operate and improve an existing publishing workflow rather than build a social media program from scratch. The freelancer will NOT be responsible for creating the brand, developing the business concept, creating the content strategy or generating content. Primary responsibilities include: Managing platform operations Formatting approved content for each platform Scheduling and publishing content Performing light image and video adjustments when necessary Maintaining posting consistency Maintaining a simple activity log Managing content movement through the publishing workflow Identifying practical opportunities to improve awareness and adoption of the word "Qwonky" Suggesting opportunities to strengthen natural usage of the word within posts and captions Recommending practical improvements to platform performance and visibility COMMUNICATION I do not come from a technical background and prefer straightforward communication without excessive technical terminology. Communication will primarily occur through Upwork messaging. OWNERSHIP All accounts, domains, passwords, content, trademarks, intellectual property and related assets remain the exclusive property of Qwonky LLC. All content created, modified, formatted, edited or published as part of this engagement shall be considered work product owned exclusively by Qwonky LLC. Access will be provided through secure methods, primarily using 1Password. IDEAL CANDIDATE Dependable Organized Security-conscious Comfortable working independently Experienced with multi-platform publishing Interested in a possible long-term relationship Interested in helping build a brand from its early stages into a long-term business Understands the difference between building a brand concept and managing a highly interactive social media personality PLEASE PROVIDE Relevant experience Platforms you support most often Examples of similar work Availability for ongoing support Your preferred workflow How you would approach supporting awareness and adoption of a new word over the next 12 months In one or two sentences, explain how you would help introduce and encourage adoption of a completely new word, such as "Qwonky" PRICING Please provide separate pricing for: Phase 1 - Infrastructure Completion & Platform Readiness Provide a fixed-price proposal broken into logical milestones. Give guidance on time to complete this important foundational work. Phase 2 - Ongoing Publishing & Brand Awareness Provide your preferred monthly pricing for managing approximately two approved posts per week across the five active social media platforms during a six-month period. Please indicate whether your monthly pricing would remain the same for six-month extensions or if you would propose a different structure for longer-term engagements. I am open to recommendations regarding milestone structure, monthly pricing or alternative compensation approaches if you believe they would better support long-term success. Thank you for your interest. Larry Takalo Qwonky® LLC

We are building a HIPAA-compliant SaaS platform for medication stewardship in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The platform allows clinical pharmacy consultants and providers to upload scanned medical documents, run AI-powered medication and disease state reviews, and generate clinical findings — all without storing any patient data. This is a focused, well-defined MVP. No scope creep. We need a developer who moves fast, communicates clearly, and has real experience with HIPAA-eligible AWS architecture. Core concept — stateless processing: This platform is intentionally stateless. Documents are uploaded, processed through OCR, analyzed by AI, and the findings are displayed to the user. Nothing is written to a database. No patient data or documents are retained after the session ends. The platform processes PHI transiently and discards it — significantly simplifying the HIPAA footprint while maintaining compliance. What you will build: 1. AWS infrastructure (HIPAA-eligible, stateless) — S3 used only as a temporary processing buffer (files deleted immediately after OCR completes) — AWS Textract for OCR processing of scanned PDFs and images — AWS Bedrock (Claude Sonnet) for AI-powered clinical analysis — AWS Cognito for user authentication only (no clinical data stored) — AWS Amplify or CloudFront for React frontend hosting — KMS encryption for data in transit — All services configured under AWS BAA coverage — No RDS or persistent database required for clinical data 2. React frontend — Clean single-page application — Document upload UI (drag/drop, supports PDF and image files) — OCR text display with basic edit capability before analysis — Free-text question input (user asks Claude questions about the document) — Claude response display panel — Copy to clipboard button on all output — User login and profile page (name, email, facility) — Membership and billing settings page — Stripe monthly subscription integration 3. HIPAA compliance — Stateless architecture — no PHI persisted after session — HTTPS enforced on all endpoints — AWS BAA signed and covering all services — User BAA acknowledgment on signup — Audit logging for access events — Privacy policy and terms of service integration What we are NOT building in this phase: — Mobile app — EHR or PointClickCare integration — Stored intervention history or dashboard — Cost savings calculator — Admin panel — Anything beyond the three core features above: upload, analyze, copy output Ideal candidate: — 3+ years React and AWS experience — Prior HIPAA-eligible AWS builds — please describe your specific experience in your proposal — Hands-on experience with AWS Textract or comparable OCR pipelines — Familiarity with AWS Bedrock or direct LLM API integrations — Experience with stateless or ephemeral data processing architectures — Stripe subscription integration experience — Strong communicator — weekly video check-ins required — Available to start within 2-4 weeks Engagement details: — Estimated scope: 40–60 hours — Timeline: 8–10 weeks — Budget: $2,500–$4,500 USD fixed price preferred — Payment milestones: 25% upfront, 25% at working OCR pipeline, 25% at working Claude integration, 25% at launch — Communication: Weekly video check-in + async messaging How to apply: In your proposal please answer these four questions specifically: 1. Describe a HIPAA-eligible AWS application you have built — what services did you use and how did you handle PHI? 2. Have you implemented stateless or ephemeral document processing before? How did you approach it? 3. What is your experience with AWS Textract or other OCR pipelines? 4. How would you integrate AWS Bedrock or a Claude API call into a React frontend securely? Proposals that do not answer these four questions will not be considered. About us: We are an early-stage clinical SaaS platform founded by a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist. We are building a tool that genuinely improves patient care and safety in long-term care settings. We want a developer who takes pride in clean, secure, well-documented code and wants to be part of building something meaningful in healthcare. If that is you, we would love to hear from you.

About Mook's Bagels I'm starting a bagel company called Mook's Bagels. Right now the plan is farmers' markets, and if it goes well I want to open a real shop down the line. I'm a web developer (but love to cook/bake on the side), so I can find my way around Figma without a problem. I actually designed our current deli paper myself and I'm happy with it. What I can't do is the illustration and the real creative side, and that is exactly what I'm hiring for. One thing to keep in mind as you read this: everything here is my initial idea, not a locked spec. I'm a developer, not a designer, so if you see a stronger direction than what I've laid out, I want to hear it. I'm hiring you for the creative instinct I don't have, so feel free to push back on any of it. I'm splitting this into two phases. This post is phase one, the core brand. If we work well together there is a bigger phase two with a lot more illustration, which I describe at the bottom. The look I want Retro cartoon, a little neo-brutalist. Picture a friendly cartoon bagel with big eyes and that vintage but modern feel. I'll attach a reference sheet I put together (mascot poses, expressions, a rig breakdown) along with my deli paper so you can see where my head is at. The colors I'm using are a deep cobalt blue (around #0F2A97), a cream (#FCEDCF), and a warm orange. I'm open to you tightening those up. The logo My main idea is a "MOOK'S" wordmark where the two O's are bagels. I want those bagels actually illustrated, not just circles. If you have a stronger take, pitch it, but that is the direction I keep coming back to. A cartoon bagel character with big eyes as a mascot is also fair game, either alongside the wordmark or worked into it. What I need in phase one - The primary logo (the "MOOK'S" wordmark with illustrated bagel O's) plus the usual variants: horizontal, stacked, an icon or submark, and a one-color version. All vector. - A circular illustrated piece made to sit in the middle of a packaged bagel, right over the hole. The logo arched around the top, with a bagel or food illustration in the brand style. This one is meant to be the everyday sticker that goes on every bagel, so it is brand art, not a specific flavor yet. - Brand guidelines I can actually use day to day: logo do's and don'ts, color values, type styles, and notes on how the illustration style works so it stays consistent later. - One finalized square deli paper layout. I already have a version I like, so this is about refining and locking it, not starting over. - A type system: font picks with the licensing details, set up as styles. How I want it handed off - Final files in Figma, organized, with components and color and text styles, so I can build on it myself. Vector exports (SVG or AI) welcome too. - No AI generated artwork. Phase two (later, separate budget, only if phase one goes well) Once the style and the circular template are locked, I'll want a full set of flavor stickers built on top of it. Eight bagel flavors and six cream cheeses, each with its own illustration in the brand style (for example, jalapeños and melted cheddar on the jalapeño cheddar one). That is its own scope and its own budget. If you put a per-illustration rate in your proposal, I can plan around it. Timeline No big rush, but I want to get moving. I'd expect this is roughly a week of work for the right person. Please include in your proposal - Links to your work, especially hand drawn mascots, characters, or food illustration. - A yes that you will hand off organized, editable Figma files. - A yes that the work is fully human with no AI, and that you will share sketches along the way. - Your per-illustration rate for the phase two flavor work.

PART-TIME MARKETING MANAGER Wilson and Associates Coaching and Consulting, LLC Remote Contractor | 15-20 Hours/Week | $15-$20/Hour DOE Location: Remote. Must be available for at least one 3-hour block per week during Pacific Time (US) business hours Start Date: Immediate WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR You know how to get content out of someone else’s head and into the world without losing what makes their voice theirs. You are organized, consistent, and honest when something is not working. You do not wait to be told what is wrong. You flag it. You are comfortable working in multiple platforms at once, you can follow a brand guide without needing it explained twice, and you genuinely care about doing the work well, not just getting it done. You do not need to be a leadership expert to do this job. You do need to be the kind of person who reads the room, respects the voice you are working in, and takes ownership of the systems you are handed. If that sounds like you, keep reading. ABOUT THE FIRM Wilson and Associates Coaching and Consulting is an 18-year-old organizational development and leadership firm based in Los Angeles. Founder and CEO Chrysta Wilson has trained more than 15,000 leaders across nonprofits, government agencies, foundations, and corporate organizations. The work centers on the Pressure-Proof Teams™ methodology, and the firm’s clients are the people inside organizations who are trying to build cultures where people can actually do their best work. The marketing manager’s job is to make sure the right people find this firm, and find it consistently. WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW The firm’s first book, Pressure-Proof Teams™ by CEO Chrysta Wilson, releases July 20, 2026. We are currently 58 days out from launch. The first 6-8 weeks of this role will be heavily focused on book launch support: • Social content that builds awareness and drives pre-orders • Email campaigns in Keap • Reel/video management • Creating marketing materials for events and media appearances After launch, the role settles into the ongoing rhythm described below. WHAT YOU WILL OWN Content Calendar and Scheduling Own and maintain the monthly content calendar in Monday.com. Each month you and Chrysta meet to align on marketing goals and key messages. From there, you coordinate the content, get what you need from her, and make sure it goes out on time and on brand. • Own and maintain the monthly content calendar in Monday.com • Schedule and publish posts across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook using Buffer • Coordinate timing so content supports active campaigns, events, and launches Email Marketing Chrysta writes some emails herself. You will draft most of them. Either way, you are responsible for making sure they go out on time, reflect the brand voice, and land in the right inboxes. • Draft email campaigns and newsletters in Keap • Schedule and deploy emails with correct segmentation and tagging • Track open rates, click rates, and deliverability, and flag anything that needs attention • Maintain list hygiene and sequence integrity in Keap Content Repurposing Chrysta is the thought leader. She creates the source material. Your job is to take what she has recorded, written, or said, and get it out into the world in the right format for the right platform. You will not be generating ideas from scratch. You will be working from her actual words and frameworks. • Repurpose video recordings, transcripts, and session notes into social posts and email content • Use AI tools to assist with drafting, with the clear understanding that AI is a drafting aid, not the voice. All content must reflect Chrysta’s actual language and frameworks, not AI-generated approximations • Maintain a growing content library so strong content gets reused and nothing gets lost Social Media Engagement • Monitor and respond to comments on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook • Flag any comments or DMs that require Chrysta’s direct response • Track which posts are generating real conversation and report back Canva Graphics • Design social graphics in Canva using the firm’s brand colors, fonts, and style guide • Create promotional materials for events, trainings, and launches • Maintain organized, labeled Canva folders so the team can find what it needs Analytics and Reporting • Track performance across email (Keap) and social (Buffer) on a regular basis • Identify which content types, topics, and send times are driving the most engagement • Bring a brief monthly summary to the check-in with Chrysta Podcast Outreach Support • Research relevant podcasts and compile outreach lists//work on existing list • Draft pitch emails for Chrysta’s review and approval • Track outreach status and follow-up timing Book Launch and Event Marketing • Write and schedule social posts that build awareness and drive pre-orders for Pressure-Proof Teams™ • Design event graphics and promotional assets in Canva • Coordinate with Chrysta to make sure the right content is going out at the right time HOW WE WORK Each month, you and Chrysta align on marketing goals and current priorities. She feeds you content: recordings, notes, frameworks, and source material. You manage everything from that point forward. You meet once a week with Chrysta (Mondays) to discuss marketing. Twice a month you will also join a book launch check-in with Chrysta and the operations manager. These meetings are focused and purposeful. We do not use meeting time to catch up on things that should have been communicated already on Slack or Monday.com. Which brings us to Slack. Every working day, you will post a brief check-in: what you worked on, what you completed, and where you are stuck. This is not micromanagement. It is how we close the loop. Chrysta should not have to wait until the weekly meeting to find out something is behind or blocked. If you are stuck, say so the day you get stuck. That is how this team operates. You will need to be available for at least one 3-hour working block per week during Pacific Time business hours. The rest of your hours are yours to schedule. TOOLS YOU WILL USE • Project management: Monday.com • Social media scheduling: Buffer • Email marketing and CRM: Keap • Graphic design: Canva • Daily communication and check-ins: Slack • Platforms: LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook • Collaboration: Google Workspace (Docs, Drive, Sheets) WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Required: • Demonstrated experience managing social media for a brand or business, not just personal use • Strong writing skills and the ability to write in a voice that is not your own • The ability to identify common AI writing patterns, including fragment pairs, rhetorical question hooks, and filler transitions, and flag them before content goes out • Experience with email marketing platforms (Keap, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, or similar) • Canva proficiency with the ability to follow an established brand style guide • Comfort using AI tools as a drafting aid, with a clear understanding that repurposing real content is not the same as generating generic output • Organized and self-directed: you manage your own deadlines without being chased • Responsive communicator: you flag problems early and you do it the day they happen, not at the next scheduled meeting ✨ Preferred: • Experience working with a consultant, coach, author, or thought leader • Familiarity with Buffer or similar scheduling tools • Experience supporting a book launch or product launch • Background working with nonprofits, mission-driven organizations, or social sector clients • Basic understanding of email list segmentation and analytics 🚨 WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT You are not being asked to be the strategic brain of the marketing function. That is Chrysta’s role. You are the person who makes sure the strategy actually executes and the content actually gets out. You will not generate thought leadership content from scratch. Everything you publish should trace back to something Chrysta actually said, wrote, or recorded. AI tools are welcome as a drafting aid. They are not a substitute for her voice. You will not be managing ad spend, building automations, or doing website development. Those are handled separately. HOW TO APPLY Submit a proposal that includes all four of the following. Applications without all four components will not be reviewed. 1. A brief introduction to your relevant experience. Tell us specifically where you have managed social media, email marketing, or content for someone other than yourself. If you have worked with a consultant, coach, or thought leader, say so. 2. Tell me your favorite food or the name of a movie you like. Be sure to include this so I know you read closely. 3. Your honest answer to this: You are two days out from a scheduled email going out. The draft is not ready and Chrysta has not responded to your messages. What do you do? ——————— Please note: Applications that demonstrate an understanding of voice-driven, thought-leadership marketing will receive priority consideration. Do not email the company directly; reply through Upwork. All emails will be deleted and the applicant will not be considered. Please share all responses here on Upwork. Thank you for your consideration.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
