About EALKAY

EALKAY is a business consulting firm. We advise founders and enterprises on strategy, finance, legal and technology. We started six years ago with two people in a 70 sq ft room. Today we are 30+ people serving 35+ clients.

Our work rests on three ideas: Clarity, Growth and Transformation. We also help our clients build their brands. That means company pages, founder and CXO LinkedIn profiles, launch campaigns and paid ads. Our promise is simple. #WeJustDeliver

Why this role exists

You will run social media for 6 to 10 brands at the same time. Some are EALKAY's own brands. Most are client brands across very different fields: a restaurant, a manufacturer, a doctor, a SaaS product, and senior business leaders.

Each brand needs its own voice, plan and results. You will be the person who keeps all of them on track, on time and on brand. You will work closely with the founder, our consultants, client teams and our in-house creative team of 2 graphic designers and 3 motion graphics artists.

What you will do

Strategy and planning

• Build a social media plan for each brand: goals, audience, platforms, content themes and posting rhythm.
• Run a monthly content calendar for every account and get client sign-off on time.
• Study competitors and trends in each client's industry and turn them into content ideas.

Content and creative

• Write posts, captions, carousels, short video scripts and LinkedIn articles.
• Direct the in-house design and motion team for all social work. Brief them, set priorities and approve every creative before it goes live.
• Adjust the tone for each brand. A restaurant launch and a CFO's LinkedIn post should not sound alike.

LinkedIn thought leadership

• Manage LinkedIn profiles for founders, MDs and CXOs. Turn their ideas and experience into posts that build trust and bring business leads.
• Grow company pages on LinkedIn for B2B clients.

Paid campaigns

• Plan and run Meta and LinkedIn ad campaigns within agreed budgets.
• Set up targeting, test creatives and fix what is not working.
• Run launch campaigns for events, openings and product releases.

Community and listening

• Reply to comments and messages within agreed timelines.
• Spot negative feedback early and raise it with the client.

Reporting and client handling

• Send a clear monthly report to each client: reach, engagement, followers, leads and ad spend.
• Join client review calls. Explain what worked, what did not and what we will change.
• Track all accounts in one tracker so nothing slips.

Team and process

• Lead the Content Creator and SEO Executive. Guide interns and freelancers.
• Build simple playbooks, templates and approval steps so the team can scale to more clients.

How we will measure success

Targets for each client are set at onboarding. These are the measures we will review every month.

Who we are looking for

Must have

• 3 to 6 years of hands-on social media work, with at least 1 year handling several brands at once.
• Strong writing in English. You can write for a business leader and for a consumer brand.
• Proven LinkedIn experience, including ghostwriting for senior leaders.
• Hands-on Meta Ads Manager experience. LinkedIn Ads is a plus.
• A portfolio of accounts you have grown, with numbers to show it.
• Good at planning. You can juggle many deadlines without missing one.
• Confident with clients. You can push back politely and explain your choices.

Good to have

• Agency or consulting background.
• Experience with B2B, finance, SaaS or professional services brands.
• Basic design and video editing skills (Canva, CapCut or similar).
• Working knowledge of Telugu, Kannada or Hindi for regional content.
• Some exposure to WhatsApp marketing, SEO or website content.

What will not work for us

• Copy that sounds generic or machine-made. We expect every post to sound human and fit the brand.

Tools you will use

LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and X. Meta Ads Manager and LinkedIn Campaign Manager. A scheduling tool such as Metricool or Hootsuite. Canva. Google Analytics. AI writing and design tools, used with good judgement.

What we offer

• Work across many industries in one role. You will learn faster here than at a single brand.
• Direct access to the founder and senior advisors.
• A clear path to lead a social media and brand team as we add clients.
• A small, fast team where good work gets noticed.

How to apply

Send your CV and portfolio to [Confidential Information] with the subject line Social Media Manager. Include links to 2 or 3 accounts you managed and the results you got.

Shortlisted candidates will get a short test task before the final interview.
