About the Role
About Sauramandala Foundation
Sauramandala Foundation is an NGO founded in 2018 with a vision to bring about systemic change in the lives of remote communities through empathetic, collaborative, and contextual solutions that are co-created with the communities themselves.
About the Role:
As Social Media & Creatives Coordinator, you’ll be the storytelling spark behind Sauramandala Foundation’s digital presence. From big-picture campaigns to last-minute Instagram posts, you’ll lead all things social—across SMF’s main page and its many dynamic projects—making sure everything we put out is timely, thoughtful, and totally on brand.
You’ll dream up content plans, bring campaigns to life, and design everything from scroll-worthy carousels to field-ready flyers. Whether it’s a recurring post or a fresh new idea, you’ll be the go-to for clean, creative design that speaks to our purpose.
This role will have you juggling multiple content calendars and working closely with Project Communications Managers across different projects. You’ll coordinate, brainstorm, review drafts, and nudge things along—sometimes all at once—so strong collaboration and time management skills are a must.
You’ll also steer the ship for our centralised production team—fielding requests, tracking timelines, and making sure every reel, video, or visual goes out polished and on time. You'll partner with our Video Production & Design Associate to plan shoots, give feedback, and occasionally jump in with design or basic editing support.

Monitor platform performance and share monthly analytics reports with key insights and recommendations.
Ensure all content adheres to SMF’s tone, values, and branding guidelines.

You’re happy to hit the road when needed—at least 30% of your time will involve field visits, capturing stories and ideas where they happen.
You’re organized, collaborative, and don’t panic when the calendar gets a little wild. You find the flow and keep the creativity coming.
