Role: Social Media Manager, Indus Appstore

Level: Associate Manager / Manager

Indus Appstore is looking for a Social Media Manager who can build a distinct, high-engagement social presence - speaking to both consumers and developers.

This is a hands-on, brand-building role focused on organic and influencer-led growth. We’re looking for someone who can scale content, shape our brand voice across platforms, build community engagement, and implement tools and processes to scale execution over time.

• Track and report on engagement, reach, and brand sentiment—continuously refining the playbook
• Collaborate with business team to build and own thought leadership calender such as Case Studies, WhitePapers etc
• Social Listening & Community Insights

• Social Media Ops & Tooling
• Implement tools for publishing, scheduling, analytics, and collaboration
• Set up internal systems for approvals, reporting, asset management, and content archives
