Job description

ABOUT THE GLOBAL VOICE

The Global Voice is an independent media house, built out of Goa, covering the world for a global English-speaking audience from an Indian perspective.

We built TGV because most global coverage of the world runs through a Western lens by default. We think India has a distinct, credible point of view on how the world works, and that view deserves a serious, well-run publication, not just a page that posts headlines.

This is an in-office role. You'll be running our social media presence end to end, writing the copy, building the creative, editing simple videos, running paid campaigns, and appearing on camera when a story needs a face on it. This isn't a role where you hand off the creative to someone else and just schedule posts.

Since there's no way to share links through this application, add links to your published work, campaigns you've run, or writing samples directly in your resume before applying. Applications without proofof work will not be considered.

SALARY: 3.6 LPA, along with performance-based incentives

EXPERIENCE: 2–4 years

Work from Office: 6 days (in Goa).

This is an on-site role, there is no-hybrid/remote work option

This role is not open to freshers directly. Every fresher joins through a 2-month paid internship first, with a real shot at converting to full-time based on performance.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Reserach and write copy for social posts, captions, scripts, and campaigns across platforms, in a voice that sounds like The Global Voice, not a template
• Plan and run paid ad campaigns, budgeting, targeting, creative testing, and reporting on what's actually working
• Design simple graphics and edit short-form video for reels and social content
• Go on camera when a story calls for it, explaining or reacting to news in your own words
• Track platform performance and adjust strategy based on what's actually landing with the audience, not just what looks good
• Meet daily posting deadlines without being followed up

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• At least 2–4 years of proven experience running social media for a brand, publication, or business, with real campaigns and results you can show
• Hands-on experience with paid ads, Meta, Google, or platform-specific ad managers, not just theoretical knowledge
• Working knowledge of graphic design tools (Canva, Photoshop, or equivalent) and basic video editing (CapCut, Premiere, or equivalent)
• Strong copywriting skills, sharp, concise, and able to adapt tone across platforms
• Comfortable being on camera, this is part of the job, not an occasional ask
• You actually follow news and current affairs, and understand what makes a story worth posting
• You can join us in Goa immediately

WHO WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR

• People who've only scheduled posts or managed a personal page, not run paid campaigns or owned strategy
• People uncomfortable being on camera
• People who need a lot of hand-holding to figure out what to post next
• People who treat deadlines as suggestions
