Marketing Associate | Antler India

Bangalore, India | Full Time | Marketing

About Antler

Antler backs the world's most ambitious founders from day zero. Founded on the belief that people innovating is the key to building a better future, we partner with people across six continents to launch and scale high-potential startups that address meaningful opportunities and challenges. Knowing that exceptional founders can come from anywhere with any background, we have offices in 30 cities including Bangalore, Current York, London, Berlin, Stockholm, Singapore, Seoul and Sydney.

In India, Antler invests directly into pre-seed founders, backed by a process built to move as fast as founders do. Beyond capital, we empower foudners with programs like - Antler Embark for US market entry, our AI Residency, and Showcase, our flagship founder demo day.

A better future will not happen on its own. The world needs talented, determined and resilient people to build it. Antler team members are part of an ambitious global community dedicated to helping the most driven founders move the world forward.

The Role

Antler India's Marketing team owns how founders, LPs and the broader ecosystem experience our brand, from the first X or LinkedIn post someone sees to the room they walk into at Showcase. As Marketing Associate, you will work directly with the Director of Marketing and Antler India Founding Partners across content, PR, community and events, helping build the presence of a firm that is actively redefining how pre-seed investing works in India.

This is a generalist role on a lean, high-ownership team. You will not be boxed into one channel. Some weeks you are drafting a founder story for LinkedIn, others you are coordinating a PR placement, running logistics for a founder dinner, or pulling together the assets for a partner's next talk. If you like variety, move fast, and want a front-row seat to how a venture firm builds its brand from the inside, this is built for you.

What You'll Do





- Write and publish content across LinkedIn, the Antler India blog and newsletters, including founder stories, partner thought leadership and firm announcements
- Support the planning and execution of marketing campaigns tied to major moments: fund milestones, cohort launches, Showcase, Embark and other founder magnets
- Coordinate with our PR agency on media outreach, press releases and journalist relationships, and help track and report on coverage
- Help plan and run founder-facing and ecosystem events, from intimate dinners to larger cohort and Showcase-scale gatherings
- Support community efforts across our founder and alumni network, including WhatsApp/Slack communities, newsletters and touchpoints that keep founders engaged with Antler post-investment
- Maintain and grow Antler India's social channels, tracking engagement and adjusting what we publish based on what performs
- Work with portfolio founders to source stories, quotes and content that showcase what they're building
- Assist with campus and community-facing programs such as Venture Scout, helping extend Antler's reach into engineering institutes and builder communities
- Keep brand assets, messaging and templates consistent across everything the team ships
- Pitch in wherever the team needs it. On a lean team, ownership is not bounded by job title

What We're Looking For

- 1 to 3 years of experience in marketing, content, communications, PR or a related field, ideally at a startup or a venture firm
- A strong, clear writer who can find and tell a good story, and who can adapt tone across a founder LinkedIn post, a press pitch and a partner's talking points




- Genuine curiosity about startups and venture capital, not just interest in the brand name
- Comfortable with ambiguity and speed. You do not wait to be told exactly what to do; you see what needs doing and take it on
- Organized enough to run several workstreams (content calendar, event logistics, PR follow-ups) at once without dropping any of them
- Some hands-on exposure to social media management, event coordination or PR, whether through a job, internship or a project you drove yourself
- Advanced AI fluency: you don't just use ChatGPT or Claude to draft faster, you actively build with them. Comfortable chaining prompts, setting up custom workflows or agents, and using AI to automate parts of the job that used to take hours (research, first drafts, content repurposing, reporting). You treat new AI tools as things to test and break, not just adopt once they're mainstream
- An experimental mindset. You're the person on the team pushing to try the new model, the new workflow, the current format before anyone asks you to, and you're comfortable when half of those experiments don't work
- A collaborative operator who is equally comfortable briefing a designer, coordinating with a journalist and sitting in a room with founders
- Based in or willing to relocate to Bangalore
- Bachelors degree required, Masters degree preferred

What We Offer

- High ownership and real responsibility from day one, working directly with Antler India's Head of Marketing
- A front-row seat to India's pre-seed startup ecosystem and the founders building in it
- Exposure to the full arc of building a venture brand: content, PR, community, events and campaigns, not a single narrow lane
- A network of founders, investors and operators that will outlast this role
- Hands-on coaching from a team of former founders and operators
- A quick-paced, flat culture where growth is not bound by title, and the best ideas win regardless of where they come from
