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, rapid turnarounds
Strong 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
