JOB OVERVIEW

We are looking for a creative and experienced Social Media Manager to establish a polished and consistent online presence for a U.S.-based food brand.

This is initially a one-time, project-based role with a total budget of $300–$500. Regular employment may be offered if the selected candidate produces exceptional results and demonstrates the ability to support the brand’s long-term growth. This is not guaranteed and will depend on performance and business needs.

PROJECT SCOPE

The brand already has Instagram and Facebook accounts. The selected candidate will help improve the accounts and produce an initial batch of professional content.

The project will include:

* Auditing and optimizing the existing Instagram and Facebook profiles
* Creating a mini social media brand kit with colors, fonts, visual direction, tone of voice, and reusable templates
* Developing content pillars and a practical social media strategy
* Preparing a 30-day content calendar
* Creating approximately 12 content pieces using a mix of static posts, carousels, and Reels
* Writing captions, calls to action, and relevant hashtags
* Providing editable Canva or source files and final exports
* Organizing all completed assets for future use
* Developing an influencer outreach strategy for U.S.-based food, health, and lifestyle creators
* Providing a qualified influencer list, outreach templates, collaboration recommendations, and a tracking sheet

We will provide the available product images, videos, logo, packaging materials, and product information. You must know how to maximize limited raw materials without making the content look repetitive, misleading, overly AI-generated, or spammy.

REQUIREMENTS

* At least two years of relevant social media management or content-creation experience
* Previous experience managing social media for a food product or restaurant is required
* Strong graphic design and short-form video-editing skills
* A polished portfolio showing professional food or restaurant content
* Experience creating visual identities, brand kits, or reusable social media templates
* Strong knowledge of Instagram and Facebook
* Experience with influencer research or outreach
* Good written English and caption-writing skills
* Ability to develop a strategy—not only create attractive graphics
* Experience working with U.S. clients or U.S. audiences is preferred
* Ability to work independently and meet an agreed deadline

HOW TO APPLY

Use the following application title:

“Social Media Project – [Your Full Name]”

Please include:

1. Your resume and portfolio.
2. Direct links to your best food or restaurant social media designs or campaigns.
3. Your exact contribution to each example and any measurable results.
4. Whether you have worked with a U.S. client or managed content for a U.S. audience.
5. Your proposed strategy for establishing and growing the social media presence of a new food brand.
6. Your recommended mix of static posts, carousels, and Reels for the 12-piece content package.
7. Your influencer outreach experience, including how you identify suitable creators and any results from previous campaigns.
8. Your estimated completion timeline and the number of revision rounds included.
9. Confirmation that you are comfortable working within a total project budget of $300–$500.

We will evaluate applicants based on design quality, food or restaurant experience, strategy, influencer-outreach knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to follow instructions.

Generic applications, unrelated portfolios, and applications that do not use the required application title will not be considered.
