Social Media + Substack Assistant (U.S. Based Only)

Social Media + Substack Assistant (U.S. Based Only)

$15-20/hour | Up to 10 hours per week | 30-day contract (potential through May 19)

I am hiring a U.S.-based social media and newsletter assistant to support multiple elected officials in Idaho.

This role is part-time and will not exceed 10 hours per week. Some of this work must happen on Fridays and weekends. If you are not available to work a few hours Saturdays, this role is not a fit.

Because these are political accounts, you must physically live in the United States. Meta Business Platform shows where accounts are managed from. VPNs do not work. Applicants outside the U.S. will not be considered.

Scope of Work

You will be helping me support approximately 10 clients. Accuracy is critical.

A very important part of this role is making sure posts go to the correct account. We manage multiple Facebook pages. Posting to the wrong page cannot happen. Extreme attention to detail is required.

• Create light graphics in Canva using existing templates
• Insert photos into templates and create strong news-style headlines
• Post videos to YouTube
• Create and set up YouTube accounts when needed
• Create and set up Instagram and Facebook accounts when needed

Newsletter Responsibilities:

• Build and publish Substack newsletters after they are written
• Newsletters are typically finalized on Fridays and sometimes Saturdays
• You must be available to format and publish them the same day
• Ensure links, formatting, and images are correct
• Work from provided templates and examples

Requirements (Non-Negotiable):

• Able to manage: multiple accounts without errors
• Comfortable working with: Republican elected officials (no political experience required)

What I Provide:

• Video files
• Canva templates
• Caption examples
• Clear instructions
• Account access

This is an execution role.

Strategy is not required. Strong organization, follow-through, and accuracy are.

Schedule:

• Up to 10 hours per week, please keep track of your hours
• Occasional Saturday availability required
• Same-day turnaround when content is delivered

Compensation:

$15-20/hour

Time tracking required.

Initial contract runs 30 days with potential extension through May 19.

To Apply:

Please answer the following:

• Confirm you physically live in the United States and what state you reside in.
• Describe your experience using Meta Business Suite.

If you are highly organized, detail-driven, and comfortable managing multiple accounts carefully and accurately, I would love to hear from you.
