Instagram Content Producer & Strategist

Instagram Content Producer & Strategist Remote - 5:00 PM till 1:00 AM Beirut Time - Salary $2,500 Company Overview The company is a creator-led education and events business that helps entrepreneurs and sales professionals—primarily in mortgage and real estate—build personal brands and grow through content, marketing, and modern distribution. It serves this community through online programs, a private mastermind, live events, workshops, and a deep library of content across social platforms, YouTube, podcasts, and stage presentations. The culture is fast-moving, collaborative, and content-obsessed, valuing initiative, high standards, and clear outcomes. It's a founder-driven brand where you learn directly from high performers and turn ideas into real impact. If that sounds like your kind of environment, this is a place to do your best work. Mission We're looking for an Instagram Content Producer & Strategist to own the day-to-day operation of the founder's personal brand on Instagram, mining a robust content vault—short-form, long-form, podcasts, live teaching, event footage, and more—to develop platform-native ideas, publish consistently, and analyze performance to keep improving. This isn't a queue-driven editor role: you'll bring strong content judgment, propose what to make next, shape how it's packaged, and explain why it will work. You'll collaborate with an on-site team for new footage when needed and use AI intelligently for speed and research, without losing the brand's human voice. If you love ownership, moving fast, testing smartly, and pushing what's possible on Instagram, you'll feel right at home. Key Responsibilities Your daily tasks will vary, giving you room to learn, grow, and strengthen your skills while supporting the team with excellence. Review the existing content vault (long-form videos, podcasts, live teaching, event footage, short-form clips, photos, past posts) and independently identify high-potential moments for Instagram—not waiting to be told what to cut. Develop and recommend content ideas, hooks, angles, and repeatable formats informed by what's already working, platform trends, and performance data. Turn long-form and raw footage into Instagram-native Reels and carousels—rebuilding, rewriting, or re-recording when needed instead of simply clipping. Edit short-form video specifically optimized for Instagram—pacing, captions, visual hooks, B-roll, retention, and engagement mechanics that drive shares and saves. Create platform-native assets: Reels, carousels, written posts, and photo posts—selecting the best format for each idea. Write and refine on-screen titles, opening hooks, captions, thumbnails/covers, and overall visual packaging. Maintain an organized, consistent publishing cadence and keep the Instagram content pipeline moving. Publish content and monitor reach, watch time/retention, shares, saves, follows, and engagement to understand why pieces work or don't. Identify patterns in top performers and evolve them into repeatable formats, series, or franchises. Proactively pitch new content ideas and formats (e.g. "this could work better as a carousel" or "let's reshoot this trend this way") rather than only executing assigned edits. Coordinate with the on-site team when new footage or specific scenes need to be captured. Propose workflow and organizational improvements to increase speed, consistency, and quality. Use AI tools (client will provide Claude/ChatGPT access) for research, transcript mining, ideation, repurposing, and variations—while preserving Neel's authentic voice and branding, never producing generic "AI slop." Repurpose winning content for secondary platforms (YouTube Shorts, TikTok) when appropriate, with Instagram as the priority. Stay current with Instagram trends, formats, and features; test new approaches and retire what's no longer working. Reports directly to Neel, possibly coordinating with one other team member.
