Content Manager

Role Overview : As Content Manager for Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam markets, you will own regional content end-to-end, from planning and scripting through production and performance review. This role sits at the intersection of editorial judgment and operational discipline: you will be responsible for what gets made, when it gets made, and why it performs the way it does.

Why This Role Matters: South India represents some of Little Stories' fastest-growing and most culturally distinct audiences. Getting Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam content right, in language, tone, and cultural nuance, is central to the company's ability to scale credibly across new cities without diluting the hyper-local promise that differentiates it. This role has direct ownership over that outcome.

Own production operations

• Build and maintain a shared production tracker that gives complete visibility into the status, owner, and timeline of every piece of content at any given moment.

Drive story ideation

• Track trends across South Indian social media and creator culture on an ongoing basis.
• Pitch episodes, hooks, and series, and maintain a live topic bank to ensure consistent content supply.

Manage scripting and quality

Analyse performance
