Social Media Manager

About Tallyvox
More and more customers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or Perplexity who to hire before they ever open a search engine. Tallyvox measures how often those AI assistants actually name a business, by asking the questions real buyers ask, many times over, across several AI engines, and reporting the result as a number with an honest margin of error. Then we help businesses improve it, and count again. Our clients are business owners: local services, clinics, trades, shops, professional firms, IT companies and SaaS founders. Our motto is "Counted, not claimed."
Location: Remote. Open to candidates based in Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal or Egypt.
Type: Contract, part-time to start (about 20 hours a week), with room to grow.
Hours: Flexible, with at least 3 hours a day overlapping US Pacific mornings (8 AM to 11 AM Pacific, which is 3 PM to 6 PM in Accra).
Pay: In USD, paid weekly via PayPal or bank transfer. Share your expected rate when you apply.
The role
You will run Tallyvox's day-to-day presence across social media: engaging with business owners, growing our following the right way, keeping our scheduled content clean, and reporting what's working. You'll work from a written playbook and a short daily approval loop with the founder, so you always know what good looks like.
What you'll do
Daily engagement on every platform (X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, YouTube, Bluesky, Pinterest, Reddit)
Find fresh posts from business owners whose businesses have a website or a SaaS product, and engage thoughtfully: mostly likes, plus short, specific comments where you can genuinely add something.
Split your time between people we already follow (people who follow us back first) and new, relevant business owners.
Prepare each session's list of comments, likes and follows for a quick approval, then carry it out at a natural, human pace.
Engage as the Tallyvox brand account only, and switch identity correctly where a platform requires it (for example, LinkedIn pages).
Reply to people who respond to our comments when there's something useful to say; like the rest.
Growing the audience the right way
Run "let's connect" and community threads on each platform, follow genuine owners and founders, and stay inside daily follow limits.
Vet new followers before following back (real people and real businesses only; no bots, spam, crypto or competitors), and keep a simple watch list of who follows, who follows back and who quietly unfollows.
Content support
Review the posts scheduled by our publishing platform before they go out, and flag anything off-brand, broken or duplicated.
Help prepare upcoming content batches: post ideas, captions, and checks on image and video assets.
Keep our brand style: clear, honest, specific, no hype, no promises of rankings.
Community
Help run our Facebook group (weekly threads, member approvals, keeping it spam-free).
Watch for comments, mentions and messages across all accounts and route anything important to the founder.
Reporting
Keep a short daily log of what you did on each platform (comments posted, follows, replies, anything unusual).
Send a weekly summary covering growth, engagement, wins, problems, and ideas for the next week.
What we're looking for
At least 2 years managing social media for a brand, agency or business (B2B or small-business audiences are a plus).
Excellent written English. You can write a two-sentence comment that sounds like a thoughtful person, not a template.
Hands-on experience with most of the platforms above, especially LinkedIn, X, Instagram and Facebook.
Good judgment: you can tell a genuine business owner from a bot, a spam account or a competitor at a glance.
Reliable and organized, comfortable following a written process and keeping clean records.
Curious about AI search and how businesses get found online (you don't need to be an expert; we'll teach you).
A stable internet connection and a laptop.
Nice to have: experience with scheduling tools, Canva or similar design tools, short-form video, community management, or social media for SaaS or professional services.
How to apply
Follow Tallyvox on the platforms you use most: X @tallyvox_, LinkedIn (Tallyvox company page), Instagram and Threads @tallyvoxhq, Bluesky @tallyvox.bsky.social, TikTok @tallyvoxhq.
Apply here on LinkedIn with your resume, and include: links to 1 to 3 social media accounts you have managed and your role on each; your expected monthly or hourly rate in USD; and a short task: find three posts from the last 48 hours by small business owners on LinkedIn, X or Instagram, and for each one share the link and the comment you would leave as Tallyvox (one or two sentences, no links, no selling).
