Part-Time Social Media Creative & Pinterest Growth Specialist (Product Brands)

A founder is looking for a creative social media professional to bring two established product brands to life online: an Amazon affiliate brand recommending real-life products for moms and families, and a San Francisco small-batch gift and keepsake brand. You create, source and publish content within each brand’s guidelines, engage the audience and grow each account across Instagram, Facebook and ---------- , balancing strong growth with high ethical standards. You’ll never be waiting on the founder for content.
How we show up

• Authenticity: content reflects what the brands truly stand for. No hype and no trend-chasing.
• Value first: every piece leaves the reader better informed, more understood or better equipped.
• Transparency: accurate information, clear disclosures and no overblown claims.
• Growth with integrity: we want strong, steady follower growth and conversions, earned through real value and ethical practices, never through shortcuts or hype.
• Ethics first: privacy, accuracy and respect for the audience come before reach.

Who this role is for
Each brand has established guidelines for its look, voice and audience. You are a seasoned creative who is excited to bring them to life with polished, thoughtful work that goes well beyond templates, and you use sound judgment on your own.
What you will do

• Create and publish about 4 Instagram and Facebook posts a week across both brands, including 2 Reels or video pins, using product images, royalty-free images and video, Canva and AI tools.
• Grow Pinterest: design and schedule about 12–15 pins a week and keep boards organized and searchable.
• Make every piece count: each one is crafted for the brand’s ideal customer.
• Engage: reply to comments within 24 hours and engage daily with relevant people and communities.
• Keep affiliate content honest: clear disclosures on every affiliate post, using only links the founder provides.
• Track and improve: tag links, test formats and timing, and make light SEO fixes on the gift brand’s website.
• Report weekly: a short Friday report on what went live, what you learned and the results.

What success looks like

• Content and pins published consistently, on schedule and on-brand
• Comments answered within 24 hours
• Steady growth in followers, Pinterest views, clicks, sales and affiliate earnings, against monthly targets we set together
• Independent work and sound judgment
