ABOUT THE SOCIAL LIONS

We are a creative-first integrated marketing agency based in Mumbai. Seven years in a lean, fast team that builds brands across social, performance, branding, and digital PR. Our clients span jewellery, luxury experiences, healthcare, and fashion. We do not run on decks and approvals. We run on sharp thinking and fast execution.

THE ROLE

The Founder’s Office Executive operates as a direct extension of the founders. This is a full-time, high-ownership role built for someone who wants to learn how a business is run from the inside, and grow with it.

You will run the founders’ operating rhythm, drive the agency’s growth engine, and own initiatives end to end. You will be in the room for client conversations, business decisions, and new bets.

This role is built to grow. As you prove ownership, the scope expands toward business strategy, partnerships, and team leadership. We are not looking for someone to fill a seat for a few months. We are looking for the person who grows into running pieces of this business.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

1. Founder’s Office & Operating Rhythm

• Run the founders’ calendar, priorities, scheduling, and follow-ups so nothing slips.
• Sit in on client, internal, and business meetings. Capture decisions, convert them to action items, and drive them to closure.
• Own the founders’ commitment and task tracker. Chase, update, and close loops across the team.
• Prepare the founders for every meeting with briefs, background, and clear agendas.
• Act as the single point of follow-through between the founders and the rest of the team.

2. Business Development & Growth

• Own the top of the growth funnel: prospect research, targeted lead lists, and first-touch outreach.
• Identify brands actively looking for an agency or signalling marketing pain across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.
• Run outreach and follow-up on behalf of the founders. Track every conversation. No lead goes cold.
• Maintain the CRM and pipeline daily. Qualify leads and hand off warm prospects with full context.
• Prepare pitch decks, credentials, and proposals for new business conversations.

3. Operations, Systems & Accountability

• Build and maintain the trackers, SOPs, and internal systems the founders need to scale.
• Coordinate delivery timelines across active client accounts and flag risks early.
• Prepare weekly and monthly status reports for client and internal reviews.
• Hold the team accountable to timelines on behalf of the founders.

4. Strategic Projects & New Initiatives

• Take new initiatives from idea to execution: new service lines, internal builds, experiments, and one-off bets.
• Research markets, competitors, and partnership opportunities, and structure the findings into clear decisions.
• Be the founders’ execution arm on anything that needs to move fast.

5. Content & Communication

• Support the founders’ personal brand and the agency’s LinkedIn presence through research, drafting, and posting.
• Draft social posts, captions, and email copy for the agency’s own channels.
• Build case study drafts from completed client campaigns.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 1 to 2 years in an agency, startup, founder’s office, business development, or operations role. Exceptional fresh graduates with proven ownership will be considered.
• Graduation in any stream. Marketing, Commerce, or an MBA is a plus, not a requirement.
• Exceptional written communication. Your outreach and your internal notes both need to be sharp and clear, not templated.
• A high-ownership operator who works from loose briefs, figures things out, and comes back with results.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and shifting priorities.
• Strong with Google Sheets, Excel, CRMs, and AI tools for research and execution.
• Sound business instinct. You understand why the work matters, not just what to do.
• Bonus: prior exposure to agencies, startups, sales, BD, or a chief-of-staff style role.

WHAT YOU GET

• A direct line to the founders and a real seat in how the business is run. Most people never get this view.
• A role built to grow. Strong performance opens a path toward business strategy, partnerships, and leadership.
• Ownership of high-impact work from day one, not a task list.
• Hands-on mastery of business development, operations, and integrated marketing.
• Compensation and responsibility that scale with the value you create.
• A long-term trajectory with a fast-growing agency.

HOW WE WORK

• Full-time and based in Mumbai, hybrid, with office presence required for key meetings.
• Working hours are 10:30 AM to 7:00 PM, with flexibility based on workload.
• Written communication is the standard. Decisions, updates, and approvals are documented.
• We move fast and hold high standards. If you need to be told what to do every day, this is not the role. If you can run with a brief and deliver, we want to talk.

ONE THING WE MEAN

We are not hiring an intern. We are hiring the person who will help run and grow this business. If that is the seat you want, apply.
