## About this task

This performance marketing agency for B2B software (51–200 employees) is looking for a specialist Social Media Manager for an ongoing part-time engagement of 3–8 h a week. Replies to comments and messages in the brand's voice.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It is an agency, so work is organised around client campaigns and approval rounds.

The team sits in London. Everything can be done remotely; an occasional visit is welcome and never required for the first month. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 2 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (UK time).

## What you deliver

- Respond to comments and direct messages daily within four working hours.

- A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

- A written update every Thursday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked

- Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call

## What a week looks like

- Daily: one hour at a time that suits you, inside the agreed window

- Wednesday: ten-minute sync if anything is blocked

- Thursday: weekly summary posted to the shared thread

**Duration:** 12 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

## Tools

Sprout Social Slack

## Who fits

- 2-5 years of hands-on work as a Social Media Manager, or the equivalent mix of roles

- Comfortable working in Sprout Social and Slack

- Your own work history stays private; the company sees a first name, your field and a rate

### Nice to have

- Comfortable explaining numbers or decisions to a non-specialist reader

- Experience in a similar industry

## Not included

- Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately

- Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so

- Managing other contractors or employees

## How you get paid

- The company prepays Deftridge before your first hour, so payment does not depend on a late invoice.

- Deftridge pays you in GBP after the company confirms the hours or the deliverable. The payment date is written in your task agreement.

- You work as an independent contractor: you report your own income, and your recruiter sends the statements your accountant needs.

- You never chase the company. Questions about money go to Deftridge.
