Role Summary

We are looking for a Social Media Manager to own Apna's brand presence across Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Reddit and to be the visible face of that brand on camera.

This is a high-ownership, high-output role. You will write the copy, build the strategy, run the production pipeline, show up on screen, and be accountable for performance across every platform. You will also support lifecycle and campaign communication when the brand needs it.

The bar isn't someone with good instincts. It's someone who has turned those instincts into a repeatable system  and can perform in front of a camera with the same confidence they bring to a brief.

Location: Bengaluru (WFO - Onsite | DD Office)

Requirement: 1

Function: Brand & Marketing 

Experience: 4-6 years

Why This Role Matters

This role has real creative ownership, direct business impact, and a brand POV to build 

To apply: along with an updated resume, please  Send us three pieces of content you've made and are still proud of. One that performed as expected, one that surprised you, and one that failed. Two sentences on each: what happened and what you took from it

Finally, record a 60-second video you would actually post on Apna's Instagram, on camera, you as the face, driving job seekers to use the app to find their next opportunity. 

Requirements

75%: Social Media Strategy & Execution

• Drive organic reach, follower growth, and engagement through consistent, high-quality content
