Social Media Executive Remote Job Pakistan Freelance

Social Media Executive

About the Job

There is a need for a Social Media Executive in the growing company. The candidate selected for the position will be in charge of handling the social media pages for clients whose language is Arabic. It is a remote position, and the candidate should be competent in both Arabic and English languages. The position will not only entail the actual posting but rather planning, creating content, and interacting with clients.

In view of the nature of the company and the clients it works with, there is a lot of interaction required. The candidate will listen to the client’s needs and transform the needs into the content that will meet the brand’s requirements. Before any form of posting, the reason behind the post and its content will be considered first.

The company is looking for someone who has prior experience in this area. It is important that you are capable of managing your client’s account without supervision from a manager. It is ideal for candidates who have two years of experience in the social media industry and who can communicate with their clients directly.

What This Job Involves

Whether it is through planning, writing, getting the contents approved, and finally sending them to your clients, everything regarding social media will fall under your purview. In summary, you will have to ensure that there are captions written, design coordination taken care of, and content posted. Since the clients are Arabs, both English and Arabic languages will be used as per the requirement. As this will be a remote job, you will not be reminded of the tasks that you are supposed to do.

Some clients will be more comfortable speaking in Arabic. Some may change languages to English in the context of numeracy and/or technicalities. It doesn’t matter whichever language they use; you should feel equally comfortable in both.

What You Will Do

•            Prepare content calendars on a monthly basis depending on the requirements of the client.

•            Prepare content notes and captions in such a way that designers and editors understand them clearly.

•            Distribute jobs among team members and review the completed work.

•            Upload and schedule the posting of the content on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tik Tok, and YouTube.

•            Respond to comments and direct messages of the followers.

•            Prepare basic reports on post performance and present the same to the clients.

•            Become client’s go-to point for everything related to social media

•             Monitor new trends, video styles, and music

•             Benchmark designs and editing to ensure that everything is completed on time

•             Modify plans immediately in case of last minute changes from the client

•             Note all previous successes so that future plans can be based on them

What You Need

• Marketing, Communications, Media, or any other relevant academic degree. Relevant experience is also an advantage

• 2-3 years of experience with social media management campaigns

• A good command of Arabic and English. English language alone is not enough for the job position

• Strong writing skills, as well as ability to translate statistical information into clear and simple language

• Experience using Meta Business Suite, Buffer, Hootsuite or similar platforms

• A knowledge of Canva, Adobe software, or CapCut

• The ability to work independently and handle multiple deadlines

• No problems with communicating directly with customers

• An understanding that what is successful on TikTok won’t necessarily be successful on LinkedIn

You don’t need to tick every single box. If you’re strong in most of these but a bit weak in one, apply anyway and let the company make that call.

What You Get From This Job

• Work from home, any place in Pakistan

• Prior experience of working with international clients speaking Arabic language

• Having hands on work on 5 most popular social media platforms including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tik Tok, and YouTube

• The opportunity of accumulating real experience that you can showcase later in your resume

• This performance will lead you to bigger and more profitable accounts

• A balanced combination of creativity and analytics, not just one of those

After working a few years like this, you’ll definitely move up in rank – towards managing larger accounts, or towards a more senior position of a marketer. The experience of working with international clients is always appreciated later on.

Things You Should Know Before Applying

Think twice before applying for this position. There are people who are more suited to office conditions and rigid working schedule – in this case, you shouldn’t consider this job offer.

What a Normal Day Looks Like

The day starts by looking at all the comments and messages received over the night and replying to those which require a response. Having done that, the next step would be to plan out the week, including creating captions and giving instructions to the designer about the things needed from him. At some point in the day, you will also analyze the performance of the posts made the previous day and share the analysis in a discussion that alternates between Arabic and English based on the person you are talking to.

Everyday is not always the same. Some are calm, just organizing files and doing small stuff. Some other days are hectic, particularly those surrounding launches. Clients could require changes an hour before a project was due for a launch, and it will be your duty to manage that seamlessly without messing up everything else.

Pay (Rough Guide)

• Fresh from the job year Rs. 60k-80k per month

• Some experience Rs. 80k-120k per month

• Much experience Rs. 120k or more per month

These figures should be used as guidelines only; the company cannot assure you of any pay based on this. The actual compensation you receive will depend on several factors, such as the budget allocated by the client, the number of accounts you manage, and the amount of time spent on planning as opposed to mere posting.

How to Apply

Just go to the TopicEarn.com website and click the Apply button on this page. Make sure that you have your CV with you, along with any previous work you have done, whether professional or personal in nature. Don’t forget to mention your experience in dealing with Arabic content.

Common Questions

Am I supposed to know everything about Arabic?

Absolutely. This will not be anything to mention anymore with regards to this question. And this will never be changed in any manner. Since you will be dealing with Arabic speaking clients, you need to have knowledge of Arabic and English languages.

What city am I supposed to work from?

You can work from any part of Pakistan as long as you have an Internet connection. We do not have any office for you to come to.

What factors will my salary depend on?

Your salary will depend on your past experience, work efficiency, and customer communication skills. The amounts mentioned above are just for reference.

Am I required to be an expert user of all the software mentioned above?

No, I would just like you to know how to use Meta Business Suite, Hootsuite, Canva, and CapCut.

And if I don’t have a Marketing degree?

No problem, as real experience in managing social media accounts will work too.

Am I going to work with only one client?

Not likely. Usually, this type of employee works with several clients simultaneously, so time management is important for this position.

What if a client does not like a post?

It’s you who would discuss the problem with the client, analyze what was wrong with it, adjust your strategy and brief a designer/editor again.

Does this job have potential?

Sure, depending on your performance. The employees that do their job well and provide good results usually get assigned to bigger accounts later.

Final Note

This position would suit an individual with some prior years of experience in social media and who is comfortable communicating with clients in both Arabic and English. Being able to post on schedule is just one aspect of the job; there is a lot of planning and flexibility that comes into play. In addition, being able to manage changing situations is key. However, if you feel that you have the necessary language skills and prior experience, then this may very well be the start of an exciting career path in marketing.
