ABOUT THE BRAND

We are a luxury travel content brand in the final days before launch. The founder has deep travel experience, a strong personal brand, and a full content library ready to go. We are looking for one exceptional person to help us launch and grow — someone who shows up, pays attention, and takes ownership.

Platforms: Instagram (primary), TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube
Content style: Luxury travel, smart travel strategies, real hotel reviews, personal stories
Stage: Imminent launch — sprint mode starts now.


THE ROLE

This is not a task-execution role. We need a creative partner who thinks ahead, catches things others miss, and brings real expertise to the work. You will be producing content, managing platforms, building pitch decks for brand partnerships, and automating workflows using AI.

The founder handles filming, brand decisions, approvals, and deal negotiations. You handle everything else — and you handle it well the first time.

Hours: 20–40 hours per week. Sprint capacity required immediately — the brand is launching now.
Schedule: Flexible — but morning and evening EST availability is required.
Rate: $5 USD per hour to start.
Launch bonus: Significant performance bonus tied to successful brand launch. This is real — not a talking point.
Growth: Ongoing raises and performance bonuses based on results. This role grows with the brand. The right person grows with it.
Tools provided: Google Workspace, Canva Pro, CapCut — all at no cost to you.
Start: Immediate.


WHAT YOU WILL DO

1 — UGC Content Creation & Editing
- Edit raw footage into polished Reels — strong hooks, tight pacing, on-brand captions, trending audio.
- Design branded carousels and static graphics from approved copy. On-brand, elevated, never generic.
- Quick turnaround is non-negotiable. Deliver on time, every time.
- When something doesn't look right or match the brief — say so before you produce it, not after.

2 — Content Operations
- Write platform-specific captions for IG, TikTok, Pinterest, and YouTube in the creator's voice.
- Build and maintain content briefs, hashtag banks, and keyword lists.
- Schedule and publish content across all platforms.
- Build lead magnet PDFs tied to comment keyword triggers.
- Submit weekly content ideas in a standard format.

3 — Brand Partnerships & Pitch Decks
- Research hotel, resort, and brand partnership opportunities.
- Build polished pitch decks for outreach to US-based brands and properties.
- Manage outreach, follow-ups, and partnership pipeline tracking.
- Manage brand presence on UGC platforms — Billo, JoinBrands, ---------- .

4 — AI Automation & Workflow
- Use agentic AI tools to automate content scheduling, posting workflows, and repetitive tasks.
- This goes beyond using ChatGPT to write captions — you know how to build and run automated workflows.
- Document your AI processes so they can be repeated and improved.

5 — Social Media Management
- Monitor, respond, and engage across all platforms in the creator's voice.
- Track weekly performance metrics and flag what is working and what is not.
- Stay current on platform trends, algorithm changes, and trending audio.


WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

REQUIRED — Extensive UGC experience. You have created UGC content for real brands, worked on UGC platforms, and have a portfolio that proves it. Not just social media management — actual UGC deliverables. No UGC experience means no consideration.

REQUIRED — US-based client experience. You have worked with US-based clients and understand the market, the platforms, and the pace.

REQUIRED — Pitch deck creation. You have built pitch decks for brand partnerships or business development. You can create a polished, compelling deck from scratch.

REQUIRED — Agentic AI fluency. You use AI to build automated workflows, not just to write captions. You can show us specifically how you use it.

- Attention to detail — you follow direction the first time. You catch inconsistencies before they become problems. You compare information and flag when something doesn't add up.
- Proactive communication — you push back when something doesn't seem right. You update before you are asked. You never go quiet.
- Quick turnaround — when something needs to go out, it goes out. Launch sprint ready.
- Urban / hip hop cultural fluency — you genuinely live in this space. You know what audio is trending before it peaks. You understand the cultural nuances that make content feel authentic versus forced.
- Deep understanding of the travel industry — you don't need to have traveled everywhere but you need to understand the space. You know the difference between luxury and budget travel, you consume travel content, and you understand why someone chooses one brand over another.
- EST morning and evening availability — flexible schedule but responsive during key windows.

4. Pitch Deck Experience — REQUIRED
Have you built pitch decks for brand partnerships or business development? Tell us what they were for and share an example if possible.

5. AI Automation
Tell us specifically how you use agentic AI to automate workflows. Which tools, which processes, what results. "I use ChatGPT to write captions" is not an answer.
