Role overview

What does a Social Media Manager do?

Social media is where brands are built, communities are grown, and customers are won—but only if you show up consistently with content that resonates. Marco's Social Media Managers handle content creation, scheduling, community management, and performance analytics across Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and X. They turn your social presence from an afterthought into a growth channel.

What does a remote social media manager do? They create and schedule content across platforms, manage community engagement and DM responses, develop social media strategies aligned with business goals, plan and execute social campaigns, create short-form video content for Reels and TikTok, and track performance metrics including engagement rate, follower growth, and conversion attribution. They use tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, Later, Sprout Social, and Canva. A remote social media manager costs $1,000–$1,500/month through Marco versus $5,000+/month for a U.S.-based hire.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Social Media Manager plans, creates, and publishes content across social platforms — managing community engagement, tracking analytics, and growing your brand's social presence. They typically work with HubSpot, Google Analytics, SEMrush, Canva, Mailchimp, and social media management platforms, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.
In the U.S., a Social Media Manager typically costs $5,000/month. Through Marco, you can hire a Social Media Manager from Latin America for $1,500/month, the Philippines for $1,000/month, or South Africa for $1,300/month — saving up to 80% while getting the same quality of work.
A Social Media Manager should have strong proficiency in platform-specific best practices (Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, X), content creation, scheduling tools (Buffer, Hootsuite, Sprout), analytics, and community management. Strong visual storytelling and copywriting skills are essential. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.
Hiring a remote Social Media Manager through Marco lets you scale your marketing output with specialists who stay current on platform algorithms and best practices, without the $80K+ US salary commitment.
