Social Media & Content Lead

About Skergo

Skergo is India's first ergonomic backpack brand, on a mission to redefine everyday comfort through innovative design and functionality.

We're building a premium, sporty consumer brand and looking for a Social Media & Content Lead to build our organic content engine, grow our community and shape how Skergo shows up online.

About the Role

• Own Skergo's organic content and social growth strategy — build a distinctive content engine that makes the brand culturally relevant, increases organic reach and grows an engaged community.
• Lead creators, UGC and influencer collaborations — identify emerging formats, creators, product-seeding opportunities and partnerships that generate engaging content and strengthen brand awareness.
• Be an entrepreneurial 1→10 operator — work closely with the founder and creative team, spot trends, move fast and build Skergo's social media and content function from the ground up.

What You'll Own

• Organic Social Strategy: Own the content direction and calendar across Instagram and other relevant social platforms, with a focus on reach, engagement, brand relevance and organic growth.
• Content Strategy: Develop repeatable content formats and pillars across product storytelling, lifestyle, movement, education, culture, launches and community.
• Creators, UGC & Influencers: Identify and manage creator collaborations, product seeding, UGC partnerships and influencer relationships from outreach through execution.
• Trend & Culture: Stay close to emerging formats, creators, cultural conversations and social behaviour, and identify what Skergo should participate in versus ignore.
• Creative Execution: Work closely with the video editor, designer and external creators to brief and produce high-quality social-first content consistently.
• Launches & Campaigns: Build organic content plans around new product launches, campaigns and key brand moments.
• Community: Help build an active brand community through conversations, collaborations, comments, creators and customer participation.

What We're Looking For

• 3–5 years of relevant experience, preferably with a D2C, consumer, fashion, sports or lifestyle brand.
• Proven experience growing social media accounts organically, with a strong understanding of Instagram, Reels, short-form content and influencer marketing.
• Excellent creative taste and cultural awareness, with the ability to identify emerging trends and translate them into engaging, contemporary brand content.
• A proactive, entrepreneurial mindset — someone who takes ownership, works independently and thrives in a fast-growing startup.
