JOB OVERVIEW

About us

We're a sports card business building a trusted presence on Instagram. We want to become a recognized voice in the hobby and connect directly with collectors, buyers, and sellers. We're growing from 3,500 to 10,000 real followers and we need someone who can own that goal and report on it every week.

The role

You'll run our Instagram growth: Reels and content, daily community engagement, collaborations, and turning followers into real buyer and seller conversations. This is part-time (15-20 hours/week) with clear monthly targets, and the role can grow into more hours if results are strong.

What you'll do

Publish 3-4 Reels and 1-2 carousels per week, plus daily Stories, from a monthly content calendar
Edit short-form video (CapCut, Canva, or similar) from footage and photos we provide
Spend 30-45 minutes daily engaging with relevant collectors, breakers, sellers, and hobby accounts through comments and DMs
Reply to all comments and DMs within agreed working hours
Identify qualified buyers and sellers and hand them to us with context (who they are, what they want, budget if known)
Set up 2-3 collabs, shoutouts, or giveaways per month with accounts in our niche (from month 3 on)
Develop and run repeatable content series
Gradually clean up our following list (details below)
Deliver a weekly report with metrics, insights, and next steps

Our starting point
Followers: 3,500
Following: 6,500 (needs cleanup)
Content: we supply raw footage and card photos; you shape them into posts

Goals and how you'll be measured - Please provide us your strategy and timeline on how you will achieve this.

Also measured every month:

At least 95% of the content calendar delivered on time
DM and comment response time under 12 hours in month 1, improving to under 4 hours by month 3
Weekly report delivered on time, plus a monthly review of what to double down on
What counts as a qualified conversation: a real person who has expressed interest in buying, selling, trading, or consigning cards and has answered at least one follow-up question. Likes and "nice card" comments don't count.


Following cleanup

Reduce our following count from 6,500 to about 3,000 by month 4. Unfollow 50-100 accounts per day, starting with inactive, spam, and off-niche accounts. No bulk or automated unfollowing.

Ground rules
No bought followers, bots, engagement pods, or mass follow/unfollow tools
Access through Meta Business Suite only. We never share passwords.
Tell us right away if the account receives an action block or warning
Keep a shared lead log so every qualified conversation is tracked

Requirements
2+ years growing Instagram accounts, with before-and-after proof
Strong understanding of Reels, hooks, hashtags, and community engagement
Comfortable with CapCut, Canva, or similar editing tools
Excellent written English with a friendly, natural tone for captions and DMs
Self-directed and reliable, with stable internet and a device that can handle video editing
Available to overlap with US Pacific hours for 4 hours/day

Nice to have

Knowledge of sports cards or collectibles
Experience with community- or sales-driven accounts (resellers, marketplaces, DTC brands)
Familiarity with Meta Business Suite, Later, or Buffer

Compensation
Part-time, 15-20 hours/week, paid via Wise
Base: ---------- /month depending on experience and performance
Milestone ---------- ---------- @ 10,000 followers

Paid 2-4 week trial first, then a month-to-month agreement based on results
Opportunity for more hours and a larger marketing role if targets are hit

How to apply

Email
---------- and include:

A short intro about yourself
2-3 Instagram accounts you've grown, with specific before-and-after numbers and your role
A paid test task: a 2-week content plan, three content series ideas for our account, and one sample Reel concept with a hook and caption
Applications without account links and the test task will not be reviewed.
