Social Creative Lead
Full-time
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Posted on Aug 22, 2026
Role: Social Creative Lead
Location: Mumbai (on-site)
Type: Full-time
About The Role
You will lead social creative across two high performing beauty brands and one unannounced premium brand launching later this year.
This is a build year: the goal is to establish a distinct brand identity for each through social, not to fill feeds for reach.
You will work in a three-person pod, supported by our in-house AI workflow team. AI is the production engine here. Your job is direction, judgement and craft, deciding what is worth making, the pieces that set the standard, and holding three brand voices apart.
