Social Media Manager

Social Media Manager (Remote, South Africa)

Somewhere right now, a customer is scrolling, sees one of our posts, stops, and actually reads the caption. That's the moment this job is built around — not just posting content, but making people stop mid-scroll and feel something about our brand.

At TalentPop App, we're growing our own in-house social media team, and we need a Social Media Manager who can own that experience end to end — from the content itself to the conversations happening in the comments and DMs.

This is a genuinely permanent, 100% remote role based in South Africa. No office, no commute, no return-to-office plans down the line.

The basics:

• Hours: US business hours
• Fully remote, permanently — based in South Africa. Open to applicants from the Philippines and Jamaica
• Pay: Paid in USD, hourly — your income holds its value, no matter what's happening with local exchange rates

Content Creation

• Develop and curate content aligned with our brand voice and marketing goals
• Repurpose creative assets across platforms — long-form into short-form posts, stories, and reels
• Work with our internal team on content direction, priorities, and brand guidelines

Content Distribution

• Schedule and publish content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and other organic platforms
• Manage posting cadence and content calendars alongside our marketing team
• Optimize content per platform and audience expectations

Community Moderation

• Monitor and respond to comments and DMs across our social channels
• Handle pre-sale questions, post-purchase inquiries, and general community engagement
• Make sure no touchpoint on social goes unanswered
• Escalate complex issues to the right internal team when needed
• Track engagement, moderation volume, and content performance, and surface insights regularly

You're a great fit if you:

• Have 1–3 years of experience in social media management or something closely related
• Know Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook well — both content and community side
• Write with a strong sense of brand voice and tone
• Stay organized across content calendars and multiple priorities at once
• Have used scheduling tools, and know Canva, Adobe, or similar platforms
• Work well independently, without needing much oversight

Technical Requirements

• A personally owned PC or laptop (no borrowed equipment)
• Minimum 25 Mbps upload and download speed
• A dedicated workspace, with a backup plan for load-shedding to stay reliably online

What We Offer

• A genuinely permanent work-from-home setup — not hybrid, not temporary
• Paid time off
• Health and dental insurance or a monthly health stipend
• Holiday bonuses
• Annual performance-based increases
• Real career growth as our team continues to expand
