LinkedIn & Substack Engagement Specialist

Job Summary:
We're happy to be hiring a sharp, trustworthy Engagement Specialist to look after inbound conversations across LinkedIn and Substack. You'll work through a daily queue of direct messages and comments, replying from an established library of prepared messaging, and picking out which conversations show real buying interest. This is a role for someone with excellent written English and strong reading comprehension — you're not running campaigns or building strategy, you're handling real conversations with care, judgment, and consistency.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work through a daily queue of LinkedIn direct messages and comments, replying promptly and appropriately
• Look after Substack comments and reader replies, keeping engagement active and professional
• Pick the correct prepared response for each situation from an existing message library
• Read every conversation carefully before replying, seeing that the response actually fits what the person said
• Pick out and flag conversations where someone shows genuine interest, rather than carrying on with a templated reply
• Hold a consistent voice and tone across every account you look after, writing in that account's established style
• Escalate unusual, sensitive, or high-value conversations instead of guessing
• Keep the daily queue cleared and current so no message goes unanswered
• Handle confidential account access and private conversations with complete discretion

Mandatory Skills:

• Excellent written English — native or near-native fluency, with flawless grammar, tone control, and natural phrasing
• Strong reading comprehension and the capacity to grasp context before replying
• Sound judgment and common sense in picking the right response for the situation
• Absolute discretion and professionalism around account access and private conversations
• At ease moving through LinkedIn and Substack messaging and comment interfaces
• Dependable, precise, and able to work on your own initiative
• Strong communication skills and responsiveness through the workday
• Stable, high-speed internet connection and a steady, distraction-free work setup

Preferred Skills:

• Earlier time looking after social media inboxes, DMs, or community engagement for someone else
• Familiarity with LinkedIn as a professional networking and business development platform
• Time spent on lead qualification or picking out buying signals in written conversations
• Grounding in customer support, sales support, or copywriting
• Time spent writing in another person's voice or holding brand tone guidelines
• Capacity to stay focused and accurate across repetitive, high-volume tasks

Why Join Us:
This is a clearly defined role with everything already built for you — no guesswork, no tool overload, and no cold outreach. You'll be trusted with real responsibility from day one and given the systems and support to do the work well. If you take pride in careful, high-quality written communication and want steady, focused work with a team that prizes reliability, we would love to hear from you.
