JOB OVERVIEW

# Virtual Assistant — Content & Social Media (The Traveling Kind)

**Type:** Part-time / Contract, Remote
**Start:** ASAP
**Compensation:** [Insert hourly rate or monthly retainer]

## About the Project

The Traveling Kind is a travel-meets-humanitarian media project. The founder is spending years traveling by 4WD through the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America, documenting community work — meals, clean water projects, home repairs, and more — while building an audience that wants to follow along, give back, and support the mission. We're in the final buildout phase before a December 2026 departure, with an active YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok presence and a growing email list.

We're looking for a reliable, detail-oriented virtual assistant to help run the day-to-day content and audience operations so the founder can focus on being on the ground, filming, and telling the story — not managing spreadsheets and upload schedules.

## Responsibilities

**Content Editing & Production**
- Edit raw footage/photos into finished posts for YouTube, Instagram Reels, and TikTok using provided templates (CapCut or similar)
- Cut long-form YouTube videos into short vertical clips for other platforms
- Add captions, text overlays, and simple graphics consistent with brand style

**Publishing & Scheduling**
- Upload and schedule content across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok on an agreed posting calendar
- Write platform-appropriate captions, titles, descriptions, and hashtags
- Maintain a content calendar so nothing is missed or duplicated

**Email & Audience Growth**
- Manage and grow the email list (MailerLite or similar): build simple sign-up forms, lead magnets, and welcome sequences
- Draft and send periodic newsletters/updates to subscribers
- Track subscriber growth and engagement

**Content Organization**
- Organize incoming photo/video archives by category (profile stories, impact documentation, founder story, Trip Flip, Coral Bay)
- Maintain a simple, well-labeled file system (Google Drive/Dropbox) so footage is easy to find and reuse

**Reporting & Admin**
- Track basic weekly metrics: views, watch time, email signups, follower growth, and top-performing content
- Respond to or flag comments/DMs that need the founder's personal attention (e.g., "how can I help" messages)
- Assist with other ad hoc tasks as the project grows — for example: researching cross-promotion partners, light graphic design, coordinating with volunteers, or helping prep launch announcements

## What We're Looking For

- Experience editing short-form video content (CapCut, Premiere Rush, or similar)
- Comfortable managing multiple social platforms and understanding platform-specific formatting (YouTube vs. Reels vs. TikTok)
- Strong organizational skills — able to keep a content calendar and file system running without heavy oversight
- Familiarity with email marketing tools (MailerLite, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, or similar)
- Self-directed and communicative; comfortable working async with a founder who is often traveling or in the field
- Sensitivity and discretion when handling footage involving children and vulnerable communities — this work requires care around dignity, consent, and privacy, not just editing skill
- Bonus: interest in travel, documentary storytelling, or nonprofit/humanitarian work

## Hours & Structure

- Estimated [X–X hours/week], flexible scheduling
- Weekly check-in call or async update
- Clear task list provided each week; room to grow into a larger role as the project scales

## To Apply

Please send:
1. A short introduction and relevant experience
2. Links to 2–3 examples of video edits or social content you've produced (yours or client work)
3. Your availability (hours/week) and rate expectations

We're building something long-term here, not just outsourcing tasks — looking for someone who wants to grow with the project.
