: Founder's Office Intern

This is not a support role. It is a seat inside the founders' operating rhythm. You sit inside the decisions, own work that ships, and learn how a business is actually run from the inside.

About The Social Lions

We are a creative-first integrated marketing agency based in Mumbai. Seven years in, a lean, fast team building brands across social, performance, branding, and digital PR for clients in jewellery, luxury experiences, healthcare, and fashion.

The Role The Founder's Office Intern operates as a direct extension of the founders, running the operating rhythm, supporting the growth engine, and owning initiatives end to end. This internship is built to grow into more: as you prove ownership, the scope expands toward business strategy, partnerships, and team leadership.

What You'll Own-

1. Founder's Office & Operating Rhythm

Support 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.

Help prepare the founders for every meeting with briefs, background, and clear agendas.

Act as a 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.

Support pitch decks, credentials, and proposals for new business conversations.

3. Operations, Systems & Accountability

Help 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.

Support the team's accountability 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-

Currently pursuing or recently graduated, any stream. Marketing, Commerce, or an MBA is a plus, not a requirement.

Exceptional written communication, sharp and clear, not templated.

A high-ownership operator who works from loose briefs and comes back with results.

Comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and shifting priorities.

Solid with Google Sheets, Excel, CRMs, and AI tools for research and execution.

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.

An internship built to grow into a full-time offer, with a path toward business strategy, partnerships, and leadership.

Ownership of high-impact work from day one, not a task list.

A completion certificate and a solid reference built on real, visible work.
