We need a self-driven social media executive who can own the brand's presence end to end: strategy, content, community and growth.

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

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
