Social Media Manager (Events) — Fitpage | Ascend | India Running

Location: Mumbai Reports to: Marketing Lead

About the Role

We're looking for a Social Media Manager who thrives on the chaos and energy of event days. You'll own social media before, during, and after our runs, activations, and community events — turning bib pickups, start lines, and finish-line hugs into content that makes people wish they were there (and sign up for the next one).

What You'll Do

- Plan and execute social media strategy around events — pre-event hype, live coverage, post-event recaps
- Manage real-time content capture and posting on race day / event day (stories, reels, posts)
- Coordinate with photographers, videographers, and on-ground teams to source content fast
- Build event-specific content calendars leading up to and following each activation
- Write captions and community posts that capture event energy and runner stories
- Track engagement and performance of event content, and report on what worked




- Collaborate with the events and design teams to plan content touchpoints in advance

What We're Looking For

- Genuine interest in running, fitness, or sports communities
- 1–3 years of social media management experience, ideally with live/event coverage
- Comfortable working on the ground at events — early mornings, outdoor shoots, fast turnarounds
- Solid instinct for what makes content stop the scroll in real time
- Ability to think on your feet and adapt content plans on the fly
- Self-driven; comfortable owning event-day content solo when needed

The Platforms

- India Running — running-specific, community-first, peer voice
- Fitpage — science-backed, credibility-driven
- Ascend - performance nutrition
