Social Media and Community Manager (On-site)

Parallel is looking for a social media marketer. Because I genuinely don’t believe AI can do this (nor do I want it to, pls refer ss)

Everyone in the team (including myself) is obsessed with good design—how it's done, why it matters, and how it shapes the world around us. We’ve been building some insanely cool things and now we need someone who can turn it into stories that people actually read.

You’ll thrive in this team if you:
- Actually enjoy social media (even the mindless scrolling)
- Have <3 years of experience in marketing, social media, writing, or anything that involves telling great stories
- Keep up with tech and love talking about it

What you get:
- Money, freedom, and an Indiranagar office overlooking a beautiful tree (seriously, it’s a ridiculously good looking tree)
- Mentorship from some of the smartest people in marketing, tech, and design - so you don’t need to figure it all out by yourself
- A shot at being part of something big while it’s still small enough for you to matter

If your brain is a never-ending stream of fun stories (even the ones nobody asked for) and you think your best work is still ahead of you - for the love of good social media - DM me or Nirupama V, [or apply directly after reading the job post below].

About Us:

Parallel is a Product Strategy and Design Studio that creates meaningful, high-impact products with a focus on user-centered design. As one of India’s first dedicated product design studios, we’ve grown from a boutique studio to a leader in design, partnering with clients like Sarvam, Healthify, Pixxel, Meta, Delhivery, Xto10x, Digilocker, and Gullak.

Working with us:

If you’re someone who believes work should be more than just punching the clock, welcome to Parallel. We’re not your average workplace. We’ve built a team of curious, proactive, and driven people who value learning and growth while respecting each other’s unique ways of working. Here, open minds and open communication are as important as the skills we bring to the table.

We embrace flexibility but recognize that some of our best ideas, strongest connections, and most memorable moments happen in person. When we come together, creativity thrives, camaraderie builds, and the sparks of innovation come to life. That’s why we prioritize a hybrid work model—it allows us to balance focused, independent work with the energy and inspiration that comes from being together.

For us, impact is more than a buzzword—it’s a guiding principle that shapes the projects we take on, the people we hire, and the lasting relationships we build along the way. If you’re looking to be part of a team that’s committed to meaningful, high-impact work, you’ll fit right in.
