Social Media & Lead Gen Automation Engineer
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
I run a social media agency and need an automation/AI-workflow engineer to build a system that handles our lead generation and social media end to end. This is an orchestration build — wiring existing tools together with an AI/LLM API — not building AI models from scratch. It must be human-in-the-loop: the AI does the volume, I stay in control through approvals and alerts.
The system needs to do six things reliably:
1.Reach prospects on EMAIL and LINKEDIN — automatically find the right businesses, personalise each message, send, and follow up on both channels. Must be compliant: proper email setup (separate domains, warmup, SPF/DKIM/DMARC) and safe, human-paced LinkedIn (no ban-risk browser bots).
2. Manage our social media — schedule and auto-publish our posts, and reply to comments and DMs via official APIs. Include a comment-to-DM flow.
3. Auto-reply to people across email, LinkedIn, and social — answer basic questions and move interested leads forward.
4.Notify me instantly when a prospect is interested — a real-time alert (WhatsApp / Telegram / email / Slack) with their name, message, and a link to their record. This is critical.
5. Set up a reliable CRM — one place where the whole funnel lives, with clear pipeline stages, automatic logging (no manual data entry), and a simple dashboard.
Must also include: human approval gates (nothing sends/publishes until I approve), kill-switches to pause any channel, secure key handling, a written runbook, and a recorded handover walkthrough.
In your proposal, please tell me:
Fixed price and timeline, broken into milestones
Which CRM and tools you'd use, and why (e.g. n8n / Make / GoHighLevel / HubSpot / Pipedrive)
6. Create the content itself — from a brief and my direction, generate the strategy (brand voice, tone, buyer personas, content plan), then produce the actual content:
– copy and captions
– graphics and carousels (on-brand, locked to a brand template for consistency)
– short video and GIFs (with AI content labelled per platform rules)
– product images (generating the scene around a real product photo, never faking the product)
Everything comes to me for approval before it's scheduled.
The EXACT LinkedIn method you'd use to stay compliant and avoid restrictions
Examples/links of similar systems you've built
A monthly maintenance option
I can start with the core (CRM + email/LinkedIn outreach + replies + notifications) and add social + content after, so feel free to propose a phased plan. A full written brief is available under NDA once we begin.
Serious builders with proven automation + CRM experience only, please. I'll prioritise anyone who shows they understand the compliance side.
