Social Media Manager hiring FAQ

Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 Social Media Manager profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid · Senior · Lead — Seat prices are quoted per level, practice and engagement model in your itemised proposal — by e-mail within 2 minutes of your request..

Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.

This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.

They produce and direct content: scripting, filming on phone or with crews, editing in CapCut and publishing natively for each platform. For larger volumes or higher production values, pair them with a Creative Strategist / Video Producer or a motion designer from the Arabic Content Studio squad.

They identify suitable creators, brief them and confirm licensing, such as Mawthooq in Saudi Arabia and the applicable advertiser permits in the UAE, along with clear advertising disclosure. Contracts and usage rights are documented. For large creator programmes, an Influencer & Partnerships Marketing Manager owns the full pipeline.

Planning starts weeks ahead: content themes, shooting schedules, posting times adjusted to Ramadan’s late-night usage peaks and community moderation plans. They prepare templates for quick reactions to trending moments while staying respectful of the season. Results are reviewed afterwards to improve next year’s plan.

Beyond reach and engagement, they track profile actions, link clicks, saves, shares and conversions through UTM tagging and platform pixels. Monthly reports compare formats and topics so effort shifts towards what works. Community sentiment and response times are reported as brand-health measures.
