About EALKAY

EALKAY is a business consulting firm. We advise founders and enterprises on strategy, finance, legal and technology. We started six years ago with two people in a 70 sq ft room. Today we are 30+ people serving 35+ clients.

Our work is built on three ideas: Clarity, Growth and Transformation. We also help our clients build their brands—covering company pages, founder and CXO LinkedIn profiles, launch campaigns and paid ads. Our promise is simple. #WeJustDeliver

Why this role exists

You will manage social media for 6 to 10 brands concurrently. Some of these are EALKAY’s own brands. Most are client brands across a wide range of industries, including a restaurant, a manufacturer, a doctor, a SaaS product, and senior business leaders.

Each brand requires a distinct voice, content plan and measurable results. You will be responsible for keeping every brand on track—timely, consistent, and on brand. You will collaborate closely with the founder, our consultants, client teams, and our in-house creative team of 2 graphic designers and 3 motion graphics artists.

What you will do

Strategy and planning

• Create a social media plan for each brand, including goals, audience, platforms, content themes and posting rhythm.
• Run a monthly content calendar for every account and secure client approval on schedule.
• Research competitors and industry trends for each client and convert them into content ideas.

Content and creative

• Write posts, captions, carousels, short video scripts and LinkedIn articles.
• Oversee the in-house design and motion team for all social content. Provide briefs, set priorities and review/approve all creative before it is published.
• Tailor the tone for each brand. A restaurant launch and a CFO’s LinkedIn post should not sound the same.

LinkedIn thought leadership

• Manage LinkedIn profiles for founders, MDs and CXOs, translating their ideas and experience into posts that build credibility and generate business leads.
• Grow LinkedIn company pages for B2B clients.

Paid campaigns

• Plan and execute Meta and LinkedIn ad campaigns within agreed budgets.
• Set up targeting, test creatives and troubleshoot what isn’t performing.
• Run launch campaigns for events, openings and product releases.

Community and listening

• Respond to comments and messages within the agreed timelines.
• Identify negative feedback early and escalate it to the client.

Reporting and client handling

• Deliver a clear monthly report for each client covering reach, engagement, followers, leads and ad spend.
• Attend client review calls. Share what worked, what didn’t, and what changes will be made.
• Maintain a single tracker for all accounts to ensure nothing is missed.

Team and process

• Lead the Content Creator and SEO Executive. Mentor interns and freelancers.
• Develop simple playbooks, templates and approval steps to support scaling to more clients.

How we will measure success

Client targets are defined during onboarding. We will review these metrics every month.

Who we are looking for

Must have

• 3 to 6 years of hands-on social media experience, including at least 1 year managing multiple brands simultaneously.
• Strong written communication in English. Ability to write for both business leaders and consumer brands.
• Demonstrated LinkedIn experience, including ghostwriting for senior leaders.
• Hands-on Meta Ads Manager experience. LinkedIn Ads is a plus.
• A portfolio showing accounts you have grown, with numbers and results.

What will not work for us

Tools you will use

LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and X. Meta Ads Manager and LinkedIn Campaign Manager. A scheduling tool such as Metricool or Hootsuite. Canva. Google Analytics. AI writing and design tools, used with good judgement.

What we offer

• Opportunity to work across many industries in a single role—learning faster than at a single-brand organization.
• Direct access to the founder and senior advisors.
• A clear pathway to lead a social media and brand team as new clients are added.
• A small, fast-moving team where strong work gets recognized.
