Job description

If you can spot the story before everyone else does, read on.

We're looking for a politically sharp, internet-native Social Media Executive who understands that in politics, context is everything.

You know when a statement is genuinely newsworthy, when a meme will land, when a narrative is shifting, and when X is about to explode.

You understand politics, people, personalities, constituencies, narratives and the internet — and know how to turn all of that into content.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Manage social media for political campaigns across Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube & WhatsApp
• Develop and execute social media strategies for campaigns and public communication
• Track speeches, interviews, debates, rallies and press conferences to identify moments worth clipping, posting and amplifying
• Turn political developments into Reels, posts, carousels, captions, scripts, memes and campaign narratives
• Work closely with designers, video editors and campaign strategists
• Manage content calendars while staying ready to react in real time
• Analyze performance and understand why something worked — not just how many views it got
• Manage and optimize Meta Ads and support paid digital campaigns

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You need to be politically well-versed.

Not "I follow politics on Instagram" well-versed.

You should also have:

• 2–4 years of social media management experience, preferably in political, media, public affairs or communications
• Excellent command of English, Hindi & Kannada
• Strong understanding of major social platforms and short-form content
• Hands-on experience with Meta Ads & campaign management
• Experience with analytics, social listening or audience insights
• The ability to work extremely fast without losing attention to detail
• Comfort with ambiguity and constantly changing priorities
• A strong understanding of internet culture, memes, emerging formats and what makes people stop scrolling
• Prior political campaign experience and experience managing high-visibility public-facing accounts will be a strong advantage.

THE SKILL WE'RE REALLY HIRING FOR

Judgement.

We can teach platforms.

We can teach reporting.

What is much harder to teach is the instinct to look at a piece of political content and say:

"This is the moment."

WHY JOIN US?

You'll work at the intersection of politics, media, culture and technology, alongside campaign strategists, creatives, designers, editors and political professionals.

You'll get direct exposure to how modern political campaigns are built and how political stories are shaped and discussed online.
