About Gajab
India bargains. E-commerce forgot.
Gajab is building India's first bargaining-first marketplace where users discover products and negotiate to arrive at a final price. We're focused on building real distribution in real communities, starting on the ground, then scaling with repeatable systems.
The Role
We're looking for a highly organized and execution-focused Social Media Manager who can own the day-to-day operations of 15–20+ brand accounts across multiple platforms.
We have multiple brand pages and IPs generating content daily, but need one owner managing operations, engagement, documentation, performance tracking, and platform optimization end-to-end.
This is a high-volume execution role requiring strong systems, attention to detail, speed, and complete ownership.
What You'll Do
Multi- Platform Management
- Manage 15–20+ brand accounts across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Pinterest, and emerging platforms.
- Handle variable posting volumes: 10–15 posts on regular days and 15–20+ posts during peak campaigns.
- Ensure all scheduled content is published accurately and on time.
Data & Documentation

- Maintain content calendars, tracking sheets, and documentation systems.
- Keep tracking systems updated consistently as the single source of truth for the creative team.
Performance Analysis & Optimization
- Analyze engagement patterns, optimal posting times, content formats, hashtag performance, and thumbnail effectiveness.
- Identify what works across accounts and convert insights into actionable feedback for content strategy.
- Use observations and performance data to inform creative direction.
Platform Optimization
- Ensure every post is optimized with proper tags, SEO-friendly captions, relevant hashtags, compelling thumbnails, and platform-specific best practices.
- Stay updated on algorithm changes, trending audio, platform features, and emerging trends.
Community Building & Engagement
- Manage comments, DMs, and other audience interactions across platforms.
- Build and nurture the online community through timely and on-brand responses.
- Track sentiment and flag important conversations.
Creative Collaboration
- Work closely with in-house designers, videographers, editors, and actors.
- Brief the creative team clearly, provide constructive feedback, and manage revisions efficiently.
- Participate in content creation when required.
Research & Competitive Intelligence
- Conduct research, small surveys, competitor analysis, and industry trend tracking.
- Contribute to brainstorming sessions and scripting when required.
Brand Voice Consistency
- Manage multiple brand personalities ranging from playful and street-smart to professional and sophisticated.
- Ensure every caption, response, and post remains aligned with the relevant brand voice.
What Success Looks Like in 60 Days
- All brand pages organized with clear posting schedules and content calendars established.
- Comprehensive tracking sheets and documentation systems implemented.
- Complete ownership of day-to-day social media operations with zero missed posts.
- Consistent engagement response times with all data documented and updated daily.
