Position 2: Founder's Office Intern

This is not a support role. It is a seat inside the founders’ operating rhythm. You sit inside the decisions, own work that ships, and learn how a business is actually run from the inside.

About The Social Lions

We are a creative-first integrated marketing agency based in Mumbai. Seven years in, a lean, fast team building brands across social, performance, branding, and digital PR for clients in jewellery, luxury experiences, healthcare, and fashion.

What you all own
  1. Founder’s Office & Operating Rhythm
  • Support the founders’ calendar, priorities, scheduling, and follow-ups so nothing slips.
  • Sit in on client, internal, and business meetings. Capture decisions, convert them to action items, and drive them to closure.
  • Own the founders’ commitment and task tracker. Chase, update, and close loops across the team.
  • Help prepare the founders for every meeting with briefs, background, and clear agendas.
  • Act as a point of follow-through between the founders and the rest of the team.
  1. Business Development & Growth
  • Own the top of the growth funnel: prospect research, targeted lead lists, and first-touch outreach.
  • Identify brands actively looking for an agency or signalling marketing pain across LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter.
  • Run outreach and follow-up on behalf of the founders. Track every conversation. No lead goes cold.
  • Maintain the CRM and pipeline daily. Qualify leads and hand off warm prospects with full context.
  • Support pitch decks, credentials, and proposals for new business conversations.
  1. Operations, Systems & Accountability
  • Help build and maintain the trackers, SOPs, and internal systems the founders need to scale.
  • Coordinate delivery timelines across active client accounts and flag risks early.
  • Prepare weekly and monthly status reports for client and internal reviews.
  • Support the team’s accountability to timelines on behalf of the founders.
  1. Strategic Projects & New Initiatives
  • Take new initiatives from idea to execution: new service lines, internal builds, experiments, and one-off bets.
  • Research markets, competitors, and partnership opportunities, and structure the findings into clear decisions.
  • Be the founders’ execution arm on anything that needs to move fast.
  1. Content & Communication
  • Support the founders’ personal brand and the agency’s LinkedIn presence through research, drafting, and posting.
  • Draft social posts, captions, and email copy for the agency’s own channels.
  • Build case study drafts from completed client campaigns.
What We're Looking For
  • Currently pursuing or recently graduated, any stream. Marketing, Commerce, or an MBA is a plus, not a requirement.
  • Exceptional written communication, sharp and clear, not templated.
  • A high-ownership operator who works from loose briefs and comes back with results.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity, speed, and shifting priorities.
  • Strong with Google Sheets, Excel, CRMs, and AI tools for research and execution.
  • Bonus: prior exposure to agencies, startups, sales, BD, or a chief of staff style role.
Location
  • Mumbai (Hybrid)
What You Get
  • A direct line to the founders and a real seat in how the business is run.
  • An internship built to grow into a full-time offer, with a path toward business strategy, partnerships, and leadership.
  • Ownership of high-impact work from day one, not a task list.
  • A completion certificate and a strong reference built on real, visible work.
