# Instagram Outbound DM & Social Media Posting Assistant
We are looking for a reliable, detail-oriented assistant to manage daily social media publishing and manually start conversations with warm followers through Instagram.
This is an execution-focused role.
Your primary responsibility is to message people who have already engaged with our content and generate the first reply. Once someone replies, our sales team takes over the conversation.
You will not be responsible for qualifying leads, explaining our services, pitching, closing sales, or managing inbound conversations.
## About RicFit
RicFit helps overlooked and non-academy footballers improve their performance, build their careers, and create opportunities to reach the professional level.
Our audience consists primarily of ambitious footballers aged 19–29 across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
We publish daily football content and generate consistent engagement from followers, post likers, commenters, story viewers, story reactors, and poll respondents.
## Primary Responsibilities
### Instagram Outbound DMs
* Manually message warm followers and content engagers
* Reach out to new followers, story reactors, poll respondents, commenters, and post likers
* Check each conversation before sending a message
* Select the correct message based on the person’s engagement
* Personalize every message using the person’s name and relevant context
* Send messages naturally rather than using rapid or robotic copy-pasting
* Follow up with people who have not replied
* Complete a maximum of three outreach touches per person
* Stop messaging immediately once the person replies
* Apply and remove Instagram labels to track outreach status
* Flag any conversations that are not transferred correctly to the setter team
The objective is simple:
**Start a genuine conversation and generate the first reply.**
You will not:
* Qualify prospects
* Pitch RicFit programs
* Discuss pricing
* Send payment links
* Book or close sales
* Continue conversations after someone replies
* Manage general inbound DMs
### Social Media Publishing
* Upload and schedule Instagram Reels, carousels, posts, and stories
* Format captions, covers, tags, thumbnails, and links correctly
* Follow the content calendar and publishing schedule
* Check every post before and after publishing
* Confirm that captions, formatting, audio, covers, and dimensions are correct
* Organize content files and track what has been published
* Repurpose approved content across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn when assigned
## Daily Workflow
1. Complete all scheduled follow-ups from previous days
2. Remove outreach labels from anyone who has replied
3. Start new conversations with warm Instagram engagers
4. Work through lead sources in the assigned priority order

## Working Hours

* 25–30 hours per week
* Approximately 5–6 hours per day
* Monday to Friday
* Consistent daily availability is required
* Some flexibility may be required for scheduled weekend content
The exact outreach target will be established during the paid trial based on speed, accuracy, reply quality, and Instagram account safety.
