What you'll do

  • Take one topic from the content calendar each week and carry it the whole way
  • Produce five published pieces a week: a long-form article for the blog, a post for LinkedIn, a thread on X, an Instagram carousel and a short Instagram reel
  • Write the pieces, make the artwork, proofread everything against the house style, and publish and schedule across all five accounts
  • Two weeks later, go back and record how each piece performed
  • Once a month, run the research that decides what to write about next
  • Work from a written procedure; pair with the team for the first two cycles, then run the week independently

What we're looking for

  • Somebody who makes things already, whether or not anybody is paying them to
  • Somebody who can be edited directly and get interested rather than defensive
  • Somebody who would rather read a procedure than ask a question that the procedure already answers, and who will tell us when the procedure is wrong
  • No requirement about what you studied or whether you studied at all; you do not have to be a student
  • No need for Adobe, a design degree, or any certificate

Nice to have

  • Canva work that shows you can control type and space

Benefits

A portfolio file built with you as you go and exported for you at the end, holding every carousel and reel as a file, every article as a link, a line on each one saying what you did, and the figures for how it performed

  • More than fifty published pieces with real numbers attached to them
  • A written reference
  • A named person here who will take a call about you
