To apply for this role, make sure you follow the instructions at the end.

About the role

This is not a traditional social media internship. You will not spend your days scheduling posts, replying to comments, or making monthly content calendars.

Instead, you will use the latest AI tools to create high-quality video ads for some of India's most exciting D2C brands.

The work sits at the intersection of social media, visual storytelling, advertising, and AI.

You will learn how to:

• Turn creative briefs into compelling visual concepts Identify formats, hooks, and visual styles that work on social media
• Use AI tools to create production-quality video ads
• Understand why some creatives capture attention and drive purchases
• Develop the judgment required to become an AI-native creative director

You do not need prior experience with AI. We will teach you the tools and workflows. What matters more is strong taste, curiosity, and attention to detail.

You should naturally notice what is trending, which brands are creating interesting content, and why certain videos make you stop scrolling.

If you are excited about building at the intersection of social media, creativity, advertising, and AI, you will love this role.

What are we building

Most marketing teams are not AI-native yet.

They know AI will change how creative work gets produced, but they often lack the tools, workflows, and talent required to adopt it effectively.

That is where we come in.

Soma acts as the AI-native creative arm for modern D2C brands; helping them produce better work, test more ideas, and move significantly faster.

This role sits within our creative team, where we work with some of India's largest D2C brands to create AI-generated video ads that drive real revenue through Meta.

Why does this role matter

The way content is produced is changing rapidly.

The fundamentals have not changed. Strong taste, storytelling, and an understanding of what captures attention still matter. But the tools have. Some of the best creative people we know now spend more time creating with AI models than with traditional design and editing software.

If you master the craft of producing marketing content with AI, you could become part of a small group of people in India who know how to combine social media instincts, creative judgment, AI, and marketing outcomes.

That is a rare position to be in.

We will help you get there faster through real production work, room to experiment, direct feedback, and an environment designed for learning from day one.

Who you'll work with

• Ankit (Co-founder) - Previously part of the growth teams at CRED, Pocket FM, and Leap Finance.
• Meher(CTO) - Ten years of experience building AI products at DigitalOcean, InMobi, and Observe.ai.

• Stipend: ₹20,000–₹25,000 per month, revised quickly for strong performers
