Social Media Channel Manager (Malayalam)
About the role
marketfeed is looking for a Social Media Channel Manager to lead the day-to-day running and growth of the Sharique Samsudheen [Founder / CEO] channel across YouTube, Instagram and other platforms, and the Athishaktham Podcast. You will turn the creator's vision into a reliable publishing engine: planning content, coordinating the team, optimising every release and learning from the data.
This is a high-ownership role for someone who enjoys structure as much as storytelling. You will work directly with the CEO / creator and the media leadership team, and see your work reflected in the channel's performance.
