Senior Executive/Assistant Manager- Social Media Strategist Department: Branding & Communications

Reporting to: Manager – Digital Marketing or Head- Communications & Branding

Team: Social Media

Experience: 3–5 years

We are looking for a Social Media Strategist who can build UDIT's social presence into a distinctive, highly engaged and culturally relevant digital community.

This is not a conventional content calendar or posting role. The person will be responsible for growing our channels, shaping the personality of the brand in social spaces, building meaningful communities and creating a recognisable UDIT point of view across platforms.

The ideal candidate understands that every platform has its own culture and behaviour, and knows how to marry that with the personality of a brand to create communication that feels native, relevant and memorable.

Own the social media strategy, growth and evolution of UDIT across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and emerging relevant platforms.

Develop platform-specific strategies rather than replicating the same content across channels.

Build strong and distinctive content pillars that reflect UDIT's identity, culture, people, pedagogy and point of view.

Develop strategies to grow reach, followers, engagement and meaningful community participation organically.

Build UDIT's social channels as communities where students, alumni, faculty, prospective students, parents, industry and creative practitioners actively participate.

Identify and develop student, faculty, alumni, creator and industry voices who can become part of UDIT's wider digital ecosystem.

Create social-first campaigns, recurring formats, series and digital franchises that can become recognisable UDIT properties.

Build collaborations with relevant creators, designers, artists, entrepreneurs, alumni and communities.

Work closely with the Content Creator, writers, designers and video team to take ideas from concept → production → distribution → optimisation .

Develop social campaigns around admissions, student work, events, exhibitions,



graduate showcases, faculty expertise and institutional initiatives.

Continuously experiment with new formats, content models, creator collaborations and AI-enabled workflows.

Ensure every piece of communication strengthens UDIT's brand identity while remaining native to the platform on which it appears.

3–5 years of experience in social media, digital content, brand marketing or community building.

- Demonstrated experience growing social channels , preferably for a brand with a strong cultural, lifestyle, education, design or consumer dimension.
- Strong understanding of Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube, with an instinct for emerging platforms and formats.
- Excellent understanding of audience behaviour, internet culture and platform-native communication .
- Strong editorial and creative judgement—you should know a good idea from a merely trendy one.
- Experience building communities, creator networks or social collaborations.
- comfortable moving between an idea, a content strategy and a performance dashboard.
- Strong understanding of brand identity and the ability to translate a brand's personality differently across platforms without diluting it.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Comfortable working with creative teams and giving clear briefs and feedback.
- AI-fluent and actively experimenting with AI tools for ideation, research, content development, analysis and workflow optimisation.
- The Social Media Strategist will be responsible not simply for what UDIT posts, but for what UDIT becomes in social spaces: a distinctive, recognisable and participatory community around creativity, design, technology, learning and the people shaping these worlds.

This role provides hands-on exposure to admissions counselling, institutional outreach, stakeholder engagement, student recruitment, education fairs, workshops, and campus activities. You'll work in a dynamic and target-oriented workplace, developing strong communication, counselling, relationship management, and business development skills while contributing directly to the growth of the institution.
