Social Media Manager

We don’t want someone who posts what’s already trending, we want someone who spots it two weeks before it peaks, or starts it themselves.
About echoVME Digital
echoVME Digital is a 15+ year old, full-service digital marketing agency based in Chennai; Google Premier Partner and Meta Business Partner, working with 500+ brands across retail, healthcare, real estate, FMCG, e-commerce, and IT/SaaS. We handle SEO, paid media, social, influencer, content, creative, web/Shopify builds, and events, all under one roof. It’s a fairly chill setup with no rigid rules; we care about outcomes, not face time.
What You’ll Do
Spot cultural and platform trends early enough to brief them into campaigns, not react to them after everyone else already has
Personally generate creative concepts and content ideas for client campaigns, not just approve what lands on your desk
Build social strategy that ties directly to each client’s actual business goals, not vanity metrics
Lead content calendars, campaigns, and major promotional pushes across a portfolio of client accounts
Use AI tools to speed up research, first drafts, and reporting, while keeping the actual creative and strategic calls yours
Manage social budgets and paid campaigns across accounts
Own client relationships directly; present strategy, creative, and results yourself
Train and mentor junior team members and interns
Track performance and course-correct fast, before a client has to ask why
What You Bring
Any bachelor’s degree.
4–6 years of social media management experience; digital marketing agency experience required for this one, not just preferred
A real creative point of view; you can tell a client why their idea won’t work and pitch one that will
A track record of catching a trend early and either riding it fast or building something original off it; we want a trendsetter and a trend getter, not just a scheduler
Sharp, practical use of AI tools to move faster; but the thinking, the strategy, and the final creative call are always yours, never outsourced to a prompt
Real people-management experience, not just platform expertise
Strong analytical and client-facing communication skills
Bonus Points
A campaign or piece of content you made that actually started a trend, not just rode one. Agency experience managing 5+ brands simultaneously is an even bigger plus.
