Social Media Scheduler (Remote)

Job overview

Lumen Growth Partners is recruiting for a remote Social Media Scheduler to help keep planned posts moving through a reliable publishing calendar. The work centers on scheduling and publishing approved material across platforms, checking captions and links, coordinating posting times, and recording basic performance metrics. It is a focused execution role—not a general social media position built around creating campaigns, designing graphics, or managing community conversations.

This entry-level opportunity may suit career changers, recent graduates, students, stay-at-home parents, and people who already use social media confidently and want to develop professional digital-marketing operations skills. No previous social media, marketing, or scheduling job experience is required. Paid training covers the tools and workflows used for the assignment.

People searching for remote social media scheduler jobs, social media scheduling jobs with no experience, or work-from-home social media scheduler roles may find this position relevant. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.

• Schedule and publish approved posts on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, and TikTok, depending on the assignment
• Maintain content calendars in Buffer, Later, Hootsuite, Metricool, Sprout Social, or another assigned tool
• Upload captions, hashtags, links, images, and video files to the correct scheduled post
• Coordinate publishing dates and times with campaign calendars and audience time zones
• Proofread captions and check links, media selection, formatting, and platform-specific requirements before posts go live
• Track publication status and record basic reach or engagement metrics in a spreadsheet or reporting tool
• Requeue evergreen posts when approved and appropriate for the content calendar
• Coordinate with content creators, marketers, or business owners when information or assets are missing
• Flag content gaps, duplicate posts, timing conflicts, and outdated scheduled material
• Keep publishing consistent with the supplied brand voice and guidelines
• Archive or remove outdated scheduled posts when instructed
• Help organize scheduled sequences for campaign launches and prepare weekly posting-cadence summaries
• Learn relevant platform changes and follow current publishing best practices

Some assignments require a daily publishing window, for example 9 a.m.–11 a.m. local time, to align with the content calendar. Hours outside core posting windows may be flexible, depending on the assignment.

How much does the position pay?

The stated range is $15–$22 per hour based on experience and volume. Entry-level candidates typically start near the lower end. Some roles offer bonuses tied to posting consistency or engagement; details should be confirmed for the assignment.
