Remote Caption Writer Jobs in Chicago, IL (NOW HIRING)

Love running a social media account like it's your own brand?
We're looking for a creative, independent Social Media Manager who can do it all - content creation, reels, design, captions, and community engagement.
This is not a "post what we give you" role. You'll own the entire social presence: turning ideas, events, and moments into content that attracts attention, builds community, and drives growth.
If you're someone who creates, edits, writes, posts, and engages without waiting for instructions, you'll thrive here.
About the Company: Fast-growing, community-based events brand. The Community hosts transformational gatherings in Austin for entrepreneurs, creators, and conscious leaders. Their events are all about meaningful connection, great energy, and smooth execution - creating spaces where inspiring people come together to grow, connect, and thrive.
Location: Fully Remote

• Edit short-form videos using tools like CapCut or similar
• Design simple but polished graphics using Canva or similar
• Write engaging captions that reflect the brand's voice
• Manage posting schedule and maintain consistent output
• Actively engage with the community: replying to comments, DMs, tags, and story interactions
• Interact daily with aligned accounts to grow reach organically
• Repurpose event footage, clips, or photos into multiple pieces of content
• Track what content performs best and improve the strategy over time
• Bring new ideas for growth, collaborations, and content formats

Your Toolbox: Skills to be Successful

• Proven experience managing or growing a social media account
• Strong short-form video editing skills
• Graphic design basics (Canva or similar tools)
• Excellent caption writing and storytelling ability
• Experience creating Reels / TikTok-style content
• Understanding of social media engagement and growth tactics
• Familiarity with AI tools (ChatGPT, CapCut AI, etc.) is a plus
• Highly self-driven and organized
• Comfortable working independently and taking ownership
• Bonus: Experience building communities or working with creators / events

Your Perks: What's in it for you

• As we are a growing team, we're looking for someone excited about joining at an early stage and growing alongside the company long term. Compensation for this role is currently budgeted at up to $1,000~$1,200 USD/month.
• Remote work flexibility
• Creative ownership over the account
