JOB OVERVIEW

Black Austin Tours is seeking a fast, creative Instagram Content Production Assistant for a 30-day project promoting Heritage Weekend, a Black history and cultural heritage event taking place October 23–24, 2026 in Austin, Texas.

This is a CONTENT PRODUCTION position — not a research position.

We already have extensive historical research, archival photographs, videos, event information, stories, and brand assets. Your job will be to turn these supplied materials into engaging Instagram content.

PROJECT:

Produce approximately 3 Instagram posts per day for 30 days.

Content will include:

• Short Reels using supplied video/photos
• Archival/history posts with strong captions
• Simple carousels
• Event/program spotlights
• Countdown and call-to-action posts
• Posts promoting ticket sales and RSVPs
• Community engagement posts
• Posts inviting people to share memories, photographs, and stories

We do NOT want generic AI-generated captions or excessive Canva graphics.

Our strongest content tells real stories about Black Austin, historic people, places, businesses, families, migration, memory, and community — and connects those stories to Heritage Weekend.

We will provide the research and source material. You should NOT spend significant time independently researching history.

Type in the subject line the words “HERITAGE WEEKEND” so we know you read the entire posting.

The basic content formula is:

STORY → WHY IT MATTERS → HERITAGE WEEKEND → CALL TO ACTION

We need someone who:

• Has excellent written English
• Understands Instagram and short-form storytelling
• Can identify a compelling story from supplied material
• Can edit simple short-form video/Reels
• Can create clean carousels when appropriate
• Can work quickly from an existing content library
• Can follow a defined brand voice
• Can produce content in batches for approval
• Is available to begin immediately

This is an intensive 30-day gig. Budget is $250 USD + $50 completion/performance bonus.

There may be an opportunity for ongoing work after Heritage Weekend for an excellent performer.

TO APPLY:

Please send:

1. 3 examples of Instagram posts/Reels you personally created.
2. A brief explanation of how you would turn historical photographs and research notes into an engaging Instagram post.
3. Your availability over the next 30 days.

Please do not send a generic application.
