About the role

The accounts here belong to small businesses that are busy running the business. Whatever arrives from them is what you have to work with, so a large part of the job is getting usable material out of people who are not thinking about content.

The measure is whether the account brings in messages and customers, not whether the grid looks tidy.

There is no closing date on this role. Applications are read in the order they come in.

People in this role work on Seed Light's Social Media Marketing projects.

Responsibilities

  • Plan a monthly content calendar per client
  • Write captions and schedule posts
  • Work with what the client supplies, since video is not shot here
  • Reply to comments and messages, and pass real leads on quickly
  • Report what worked, and change next month because of it

Requirements

  • Accounts you have grown, with the numbers
  • You write captions people actually read
  • You know Meta Business Suite and scheduling tools
  • You are organised enough to run several clients at once
  • You can chase a client for material without annoying them

Nice to have

  • You can edit short video or build simple graphics yourself
  • You have run a TikTok or an Instagram account to real growth
  • You have handled a complaint in public comments

Tools

Meta Business Suite, Canva, CapCut, A scheduling tool, Google Sheets. The licences and subscriptions the job needs are paid for, and knowing every one of these already is not expected.

Your first three months

  • Month 1. You take over two accounts and rebuild their calendars.
  • Month 2. You run the client material collection yourself and report monthly.
  • Month 3. You own a set of accounts and set what good looks like on each.

Straight answers

Questions about this role

Questions candidates usually ask before applying. If yours is not here, add it to the message box on the form.

Video production is not the main job because clients usually supply the footage. Being able to select and edit useful clips from that material is an advantage.

The main platforms are Facebook and Instagram because those are the channels used by the current client accounts. Other platforms may be included when the brief calls for them, but the role does not post everywhere by default.

Paid advertising sits with the Meta ads role rather than this one. The two roles still work closely together, since a post that performs organically can become an ad, linking the organic social work with the separate paid advertising responsibility.

Following them up is part of the role, and so is being honest in the report about why a month was thin. Inventing filler to keep a grid full serves nobody.

Message handling is a regular part of the job. You need a routine for identifying genuine enquiries, answering simple questions and escalating leads promptly.

Daily posting is deliberately rare for these accounts. Two or three good posts a week serve these businesses better than daily filler that receives no engagement, so the role prioritises the quality of the posts over maintaining a daily schedule.
