About KIAN Foundation KIAN Foundation is a contemporary art gallery based in Pune, with a presence in Goa, representing established and emerging artists from India and around the world.

We are guided by a simple belief: "Art which is not discovered is Art lost." Our work spans world-class exhibitions, cross-cultural artistic exploration, and building a serious platform for collectors and art lovers. This year marks a defining moment for us. KIAN presents Devi in New Delhi — a landmark exhibition and the second chapter of our ambitious trilogy, following Shakti and preceding Adishakti in 2027.

We're growing our team to match that ambition, and we're looking for a Social Media Manager to lead how the world discovers KIAN online. The Opportunity

This is a rare chance to own the digital voice of a gallery at a pivotal moment in its story. You won't be managing social media in the background — you'll be shaping how thousands of people experience Devi, our artists, and everything that follows. If you combine genuine creative talent with the discipline to show up consistently, and you care about art and culture, this role is built for you.

Build and maintain a content calendar across Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, and emerging platforms
