About the Role
We are launching a sensitive skincare brand for the Indian market, with science-backed ingredients and a bold, honest voice on social media. We need a self-driven social media executive who can own the brand's presence end to end: strategy, content, community and growth. You will work independently, make smart calls, and be accountable for results, not just posting.
Key Responsibilities
Strategy and Planning
- Build and run the monthly content strategy and calendar for Instagram, YouTube Shorts, Facebook and other relevant platforms
- Define content pillars (education, ingredients, myth-busting, skin concerns, user stories, brand personality) and balance them for growth
- Set clear monthly goals for followers, reach, engagement, saves, website clicks and conversions
- Plan content around launches, sales, festivals and trending moments
Content Creation and Direction
- Come up with original reel ideas, hooks, scripts, carousels and campaign concepts that stand out in the skincare space
- Write sharp, engaging copy in English, Hindi and Hinglish in a consistent brand voice
- Brief designers, video editors and creators with clear direction, and review output for quality
- Shoot simple content (product, lifestyle, behind-the-scenes) when needed
- Make sure all claims are accurate, ingredient-based and compliant with advertising rules (no misleading or unverified skincare claims)
Growth and Performance
- Use analytics (Instagram Insights, Meta Business Suite) to see what works and what doesn't
- Run A/B tests on hooks, formats, posting times and captions, and double down on winners
- Grow followers and engagement organically, and support paid boosts and ad creatives with the performance team
- Track competitors and category trends, and turn insights into action
- Deliver weekly and monthly reports with learnings, mistakes and the next plan
Community Management
- Respond to comments, DMs and customer queries quickly, politely and in brand voice
- Handle negative feedback and sensitive skin concerns calmly, and elevate when needed
- Run contests, polls, Q&A and engagement activities to build a loyal community
- Collect and share customer reviews, testimonials and user-generated content
Collaboration
- Work with the influencer marketing executive to align creator content with the brand calendar
- Coordinate with the e-commerce team so social content supports marketplace and website sales
- Repurpose creator and UGC content for brand pages and ads
Required Skills and Qualifications
- Graduate in any stream (Mass Communication, Marketing, BBA or similar preferred)
- Excellent written and spoken English and Hindi
- Proven ability to run a social media account independently, with a portfolio or live pages as proof
- Strong understanding of Instagram (reels, carousels, stories, algorithm behaviour) and short-form video trends
- Creative mindset: ability to generate fresh ideas rather than copy trends
- Critical thinking: ability to read data, question assumptions, find the reason behind results and adjust strategy
- Good copywriting and storytelling skills
- Working knowledge of Canva, CapCut or similar tools, plus basic Excel / Google Sheets for reporting
- Strong ownership, deadline discipline and attention to detail
