## About this task

This streaming and audio company in education (201–500 employees) is looking for a specialist Social Media Manager for an ongoing part-time engagement of 4–10 h a week. Plans and publishes posts across channels.

The company wants a senior person on this without carrying the cost of a full-time role. It publishes content on a schedule, so editorial deadlines are fixed.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in Texas, so this one is for residents there. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 3 hours a week should overlap with the team's day (CT).

## What you deliver

- Schedule 8 posts a week across LinkedIn, Instagram and X from an approved monthly plan.

- 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

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

## 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 when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

## Tools

Buffer Hootsuite Canva

## Who fits

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

- Comfortable working in Buffer, Hootsuite and Canva

- 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

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

## Not included

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

- Managing other contractors or employees

- 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 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.
