Mission: Build India's Most Loved Gourmet Gifting Brand

To build deep, enduring consumer connection and driving brand love to unlock a 10x growth trajectory in the Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) and retail space.

Rather than executing standard, transactional marketing, the mission is to position the company as India's definitive, premium gourmet gifting brand by transforming the underlying product value - including an all-women production kitchen and sustainable packaging into powerful storytelling that captures the authentic emotional sentiment of personal and festive celebrations

Dream a Dozen's Journey -

Started in 2018 as Megna's passion project in University → Now on the way to becoming India's most loved Gourmet Gifting Brand with an all-women kitchen team!

Role - Brand and Marketing Manager
Experience: 1-2 years in D2C, FMCG, lifestyle, or gifting marketing
Reporting To: Founder (Megna Jain)

Why This Role is Different

Most marketing roles ask you to run the same campaign month after month, selling the exact same product. Dream a Dozen operates on an emotional, celebration-based calendar. Every six weeks, you will launch a completely fresh campaign - from Valentine's Day and Eid to Rakhi, Diwali, and Christmas. Your canvas changes constantly, demanding fresh storytelling, new visual aesthetics, and distinct creative strategies.

You aren't just joining a profitable, bootstrapped company that has already delivered 50,000+ hampers to titans like Amazon, McKinsey, and KPMG. You are joining a brand with deep soul. Our production kitchen is entirely women-led, providing meaningful livelihoods to women from underserved communities. We prioritize sustainable, recyclable packaging and celebrate authentic Indian flavors in a contemporary way.

The Professional Upside

This is a high-visibility, high-ownership role. You are not a small cog in a massive corporate machine; you are the core storyteller binding our marketing together. If you help us hit our audacious growth goals, you will build a definitive, 10x growth case study that will anchor your portfolio for the rest of your career

The Blueprint of Your Role

You will own the B2C marketing engine, bridging the gap between high-level brand strategy and relentless execution across all customer touchpoints. You'll act as an internal journalist, capturing the heart, product evolution, and social impact of Dream a Dozen.

Core Responsibilities

Content Engine Ownership: Manage and elevate our Instagram ecosystem (Reels, Posts, Stories, Highlights), ensuring it remains vibrant, strategic, and deeply engaging.
Omnichannel Brand Voice: Translate core social media narratives into email marketing campaigns, WhatsApp broadcasts, performance marketing creatives, and website copy.
Creative Production Coordination: Set up and manage product photo and video shoots. Coordinate directly with our roster of specialized freelancers, including photographers, designers, and agencies.
Influencer & Creator Alliances: Build authentic relationships with micro-influencers and creators who translate our brand values into language the audience naturally connects with.
Cross-Functional Insight Mapping: Actively collaborate with the corporate sales and kitchen teams to turn direct customer feedback (e.g., rising demand for palm-oil-free alternatives) into instant marketing campaigns.

Hard Skills

What We Are Looking For -

Creator-Level Content Deconstruction: An obsession with digital content—you naturally analyze video hooks, pacing, calls-to-action (CTAs), and retention metrics.
Visual Sensibility & Copywriting: Strong scriptwriting capabilities combined with a foundational design eye and proficiency in tools like Canva.
Campaign Orchestration: Experience managing end-to-end digital marketing or product launch campaigns.

Soft Skills

Uncompromising Ownership: You don't wait for a task list; you look at the brand, spot an opportunity, and run with it.
High Cognitive Focus: The ability to prioritize tasks cleanly without getting overwhelmed by multiple parallel initiatives.
Empathetic Psychology: A deep, intuitive understanding of consumer emotions and festive sentiments.

Our Culture & Work-Life Philosophy

We believe that standard corporate management styles are broken. We reject mean corporate environments; we believe supportive, vested leadership is the only way to build great careers.

We start on time and end on time. No work calls or messages after hours. We respect that you have a life outside the office.
During our peak festive seasons (especially Diwali), standard descriptions go out the window. The entire corporate team joins the kitchen floor to pack boxes, tie ribbons, and manage the beautiful chaos. It's intense, high-energy, and consistently rated by our team as their favorite time of the year.
We build roles around people. If you demonstrate exceptional talent in email marketing or copy, we will gladly bring in freelancers to cover other functions so you can double down on your true superpower.

The Non-Negotiables

We Won't Be a Match If

You are seeking remote or hybrid work: This is a physical, sensory product. To market it, you need to taste it, smell it, and collaborate directly alongside the kitchen team.
You have zero experience: We need someone who has already navigated basic marketing executions and can immediately add momentum.
You drop the ball on details: Excellence requires organizational clarity and polished communication.
