The Role

As an Influencer Marketing & Social Media Executive, you will own two core pillars:

1. Building and activating 8club’s creator and community network.

2. Owning and scaling 8club’s social media channels (primarily Instagram).

Why This Role Matters

This is an agile, relationship-driven, and on-ground role. You’ll be on the floor at our events, collaborating with top-tier talent, leading outreach for brand partnerships, and ensuring our digital footprint matches our real-world hype.

What you’ll do

1. Influencer & Creator Relations

• Identify, onboard, and maintain relationships with creators, tastemakers, artists, DJs, and community leaders across Bengaluru.

• Maintain a structured creator roster spanning lifestyle, fashion, music, fitness, and nightlife.

• Curate high-profile guest lists, drive RSVP turnout, and coordinate on-ground creator hospitality at events.

• Negotiate deliverables, barter deals, and commercial partnerships for both internal IPs and client mandates.

• Track, follow up, and ensure all agreed deliverables (Reels, Stories, posts) go live seamlessly.
  
  2. Social Media & Content Management

• Own day-to-day management of 8club’s social channels, focusing on Instagram.

• Build and execute weekly/monthly content calendars, moving past standard event flyers to produce Reels, carousels, memes, and community narratives.

• Write sharp, culturally relevant copy for captions and coordinate asset production with designers and video editors.

• Lead proactive community management: handle DMs, engage with collaborator accounts, and convert social interactions into offline community members.
  
  3. On-Ground Content & Client Campaigns

• Attend 8club events to capture and coordinate real-time, social-first content alongside our production crew.

• Decode client briefs to build tailored creator rosters based on audience fit, aesthetic, and engagement metrics.

• Monitor campaign progress, compile performance reports, and ensure all deliverables are met on schedule.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years of experience in influencer marketing, social media management, PR, or event programming.

• Bengaluru-based with an active personal or professional network across the city's creator and nightlife circuits.

• Channel fluency: Native-level understanding of Instagram algorithms, creator trends, meme culture, and visual storytelling.

• High EQ & networking skills: Confident doing cold outreach, DMing, texting, calling, and managing relationships with diverse talent.

• Operational discipline: Detail-oriented enough to manage guest lists, deliverables, and content schedules simultaneously without dropping the ball.

• Flexibility: Comfortable working non-standard hours (evenings/weekends) when live events are running.
