## About this task

This streaming and audio company in sport (501–1,000 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 publishes content on a schedule, so editorial deadlines are fixed.

The work is fully remote. Any location in United States 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 (CT).

## What you deliver

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

- Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

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

- 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

- Thursday: ten-minute sync if anything is blocked

- Tuesday: weekly summary posted to the shared thread

**Duration:** 16 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

- A habit of asking one clarifying question early rather than five late

- Has worked with a distributed team across time zones

## Not included

- Managing other contractors or employees

- 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

## 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 USD 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.

## What happens after you say you're interested

1. **You agree the rate** You and the recruiter fix an exact rate inside the company's range. You decide whether to go ahead.

1. **With your written OK** The company sees the anonymous profile below. Most companies answer within three working days.
