Company: Swades AI — India’s First Applied AI Lab

Location: India, remote/hybrid

Type: Full-time

About Swades AISwades AI is building India’s first applied AI lab.

Alongside the company, we are building a founder-led media brand documenting two Indian brothers building an AI business in New York City. The content will combine practical AI education, entrepreneurship, founder stories, business experiments, and the reality of building between India and the United States.

Our ambition is to build a trusted creator brand in the category—not simply a company social-media account. Think high-value, personality-led business content similar in ambition to Ankur Warikoo and Ishan Sharma, while developing a distinctive Swades AI voice.

The roleWe are looking for a highly driven Founding Content Lead who has previously worked directly with an established creator, influencer, celebrity, or founder-led media brand.

You will operate as the showrunner behind the founders. You will identify stories, research ideas, develop repeatable content formats, write scripts, manage production, direct editors, publish content, and use performance data to improve every release.

This is not a conventional social-media-manager position. You should have experienced a serious creator production workplace, understand what drives views and retention, and be comfortable being accountable for channel growth.

What you will own

- Develop the founders’ overall content positioning and editorial voice.
- Turn business activity, AI developments, and founder experiences into compelling content.
- Create recurring formats for YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other relevant platforms.
- Research subjects and write scripts, outlines, hooks,



interview questions, and calls to action.
- Conduct content-mining sessions with both founders.
- Build and manage the weekly content calendar.
- Prepare filming briefs and remotely direct founder recording sessions.
- Manage editors, designers, and freelance production partners.
- Own titles, thumbnails, opening hooks, packaging, and publishing decisions.
- Review performance using impressions, click-through rate, retention curves, average view duration, watch time, saves, shares, and follower conversion.
- Run structured experiments and document what the team learns.
- Build a reliable content-production system from idea to publication.

You are likely a fit if

- You have worked directly with a recognized creator, influencer, celebrity, podcaster, or founder brand.
- You can clearly show which channels and content you personally helped produce.
- You have seen real platform analytics and can explain how the data changed your creative decisions.
- You understand both long-form YouTube storytelling and short-form distribution.
- You are an excellent researcher and writer.
- You know how to find tension, specificity, and human stories—not just produce generic educational content.
- You understand Indian audiences while being able to create content with international relevance.
- You can challenge founders,



ask difficult questions, and turn incomplete thoughts into strong narratives.
- You have high ownership and are comfortable building the function from zero.

This role is not for you if

- Your experience is limited to scheduling posts or maintaining content calendars.
- You measure success primarily through the number of posts published.
- You cannot show examples of content you personally influenced.
- You depend entirely on founders to provide finished ideas and scripts.
- Your creative instinct is to imitate trending content without understanding why it worked.

How we will evaluate candidatesPlease include the following with your application:

1. Links to three pieces of content you directly worked on.
2. Your exact contribution to each piece.
3. Screenshots or summaries of relevant performance data, where permitted.
4. One example of a creative decision you made because of audience-retention or click-through data.
5. Three content ideas for two Indian brothers building an applied AI company in New York.
6. The creator or media team where you developed your strongest skills.

Shortlisted candidates will complete a paid practical assignment using real founder footage. What success looks likeWithin the first 90 days, you will have:

- Established a clear founder-content positioning.
- Developed three to five repeatable content formats.
- Built a consistent weekly production system.
- Published an initial body of long-form and short-form content.
- Created an analytics dashboard and experimentation process.
- - Identified which subjects, hooks, and formats deserve increased investment
