  1. Creator & Influencer Management
  • Identify and collaborate with relevant influencers and creators
  • Own campaign execution - briefs, approvals, deliverables, and performance tracking
  • Maintain creator relationships and measure ROI
  1. On-Ground Brand Activations
  • Execute high-visibility brand moments like pop-ups, mall/café activations, and offline installations
  • Ensure strong brand consistency across all physical touchpoints
  1. Ownership & Operations

  • Work cross-functionally with content, design, and ops teams to drive smooth execution

What we are looking for

  • 3+ years in marketing, ideally in brand, events, BTL, or community roles
  • Content-savvy - comfortable shooting quick stories, reels, BTS moments, etc.
  • Highly proactive and resourceful,  gets things done on-ground
  • A hands-on doer who thrives in fast-paced environments
  • Ability to build relationships and represent the brand with confidence
  • Strong operational ownership, planning, coordination, execution
