Job Title: Remote Social Media Manager (Off-Grid Energy Campaign)
Location: Remote (US or UK-based preferred, but open)
Type: Freelance/Part-Time with opportunity to grow
Salary: £10 per hour plus expenses
Apply via: nick@off-grid.net
✊ About the Role:
Are you a whip-smart, creative, and fast-moving social media expert who knows your TikToks from your TED Talks, your Reels from your renewables?
We’re looking for a Remote Social Media Manager to drive the digital campaign for a large-scale rollout of small-scale energy in the UK – part of a growing movement to decentralise power (literally and metaphorically).
You’ll be working closely with Nick Rosen, founder of Off-Grid.net, author of How to Live Off-Grid, and longtime campaigner for energy independence and off-grid living. Your task? Help make distributed energy as viral as cat memes and as urgent as a blackout.
This isn’t just a job – it’s a media insurgency.
📲 Platforms You’ll Manage:
-
LinkedIn
-
Instagram
-
Facebook
-
TikTok
-
YouTube
-
X (Twitter)
-
Amazon Influencer page
-
Plus: our content hub at linktr.ee/offgridnet
🧠 You MUST Have:
-
Serious experience in social media & e-commerce: Ideally for campaigns, lifestyle brands, or advocacy projects.
-
An intuitive understanding of the electricity industry – from Eskom’s load shedding to the National Grid’s polite chaos. You’ll need to speak fluently about off-grid energy systems, decentralised tech, and solar-powered sanity.
-
A nose for narrative: You know how to turn policy into punchlines, and engineering into engagement.
-
A high output capacity: Quality is vital, but so is speed. You can produce content daily without falling into a puddle.
-
Creative independence: You won’t be micro-managed. We want someone who can lead digital strategy and content creation with intelligence and initiative.
💡 What You’ll Be Doing:
-
Develop and implement a cross-platform content strategy to build a movement for small-scale energy solutions in the UK.
-
Create original, engaging content (video, graphics, carousels, infographics, threads, Reels, TikToks, etc.).
-
Grow followers and increase engagement – not just vanity metrics, but actual community-building.
-
Tie e-commerce strategy into the content funnel, including the Amazon influencer page.
-
Work with Nick to craft a media voice that’s bold, informed, funny, and rebellious – think Private Eye meets Permaculture Now.
-
Monitor trends, adapt strategy, and tweak content in real-time to respond to both cultural and electrical storms.
⚡️ Bonus Points For:
-
Video editing & on-camera skills
-
Familiarity with YouTube growth tactics
-
Previous work with energy brands, NGOs, or off-grid tech
-
Experience turning media into revenue (e.g. affiliate links, influencer funnels, paid partnerships)
🚀 This Job is For You If:
-
You’re not afraid to take a stance – on policy or aesthetics.
-
You believe decentralisation is more than just a buzzword.
-
You can write like a human and post like a machine.
-
You’re looking to be part of a purpose-driven project with impact.
To apply, send us:
-
Links to your previous work
-
A short cover letter (or video intro) telling us why you’re right for this role
-
