From high-impact podcasts to viral short-form content, we're building one of the most influential media platforms in the startup ecosystem.

The Role

We're looking for someone who doesn't just manage social media, but builds narratives, drives culture, and understands virality at a deep level.

• Build and nurture a strong founder-first community

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years of hands-on experience managing and scaling social media for brands/media platforms
• Strong instinct for what works on the internet (not just what looks good)
• Proven track record of growing pages / creating viral content
• Deep understanding of Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn algorithms
• Ability to think in content formats, hooks, and storytelling—not just posts
• Excellent writing and communication skills
• Highly detail-oriented with a strong sense of brand and aesthetics
• Fast, proactive, and comfortable in a high-ownership environment

Bonus Points

• Experience in podcast/content-led brands
• Strong understanding of the Indian startup ecosystem
