Job Description

I'm an independent film director and founder of a production

company based in the Canary Islands, Spain. We have multiple

projects in development across feature film and documentary.

I have zero time to manage my online presence and need a

reliable operator to handle it consistently.

SCOPE:

  • LinkedIn personal: 2 posts/week (I provide voice notes and bullet points, you draft, I approve)
  • Instagram (production company): 2 posts/week, visual-first (you design in Canva from material I provide: stills, behind-the-scenes, team)
  • Light engagement: 20-30 min/day on weekdays liking and commenting on industry accounts from a list I provide (festivals, sales agents, fellow filmmakers)
  • Monthly brief report: growth, top posts, engagement

PROCESS:

  • Weekly 20-min check-in call (your timezone-friendly)
  • Content drafts in shared Google Doc, I approve within 24h
  • You schedule and publish
  • Voice notes from me when something newsworthy happens

MUST HAVE:

  • 2+ years social media management experience
  • Portfolio with clients in creative industries (film, music, art, design, founders, agencies) — please share links
  • Fluent English (Spanish bilingual is a strong plus)
  • Strong Canva design skills
  • Reliable communication, 24h response on weekdays

NICE TO HAVE:

  • Familiarity with film industry or strong interest in learning
  • Basic Reels editing (CapCut or similar)
  • Experience writing in a founder/director voice for LinkedIn

NOT LOOKING FOR:

  • Agencies or multi-person teams
  • Generalist beginners with no portfolio
  • ChatGPT-only content writers
  • Anyone who can't show real portfolio work

Please include in your application:

  • Three (3) links to social media accounts you currently manage or have managed recently
  • A short paragraph describing how you'd approach Week 1 with a director/founder client who has no time
  • Write "Canary Islands" at the very top of your reply so I know you read this brief completely
