Replies to comments and messages in the brand's voice. The team is stretched and wants steady, predictable help instead of another full-time hire. It is a retailer with stores and an online channel, and the team works to a weekly trading rhythm. The work is fully remote. Any location in United Kingdom works, with a few hours of overlap with the team's day. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 1 hour 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. - Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day - Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call - A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends ## What a week looks like - Daily: one hour at a time that suits you, inside the agreed window - Friday: ten-minute sync if anything is blocked - Monday: weekly summary posted to the shared thread **Duration:** 8 weeks, renewable. Accepted after the walkthrough. Edits requested within three working days are part of the price. ## 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 - Used to short written handovers - A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late ## Not included - Anything that needs a signature in your own name unless the brief says so - Work outside the scope written in the brief; extra items are quoted separately - Travel or work at a fixed location ## 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.
