About Dineout:
Swiggy Dineout is India's largest dining-out platform, connecting millions of food lovers with the best restaurants across 30+ cities. We're not just a reservations tool — we're building a cultural brand that owns India's dining conversation, creates must-attend dining events, and shapes how India eats out.
About Role:
We're looking for a sharp, culturally tuned Assistant Marketing Manager to join the Dineout Brand team. You will own three high-impact pillars: moment-led topical campaigns, high-stakes sale IPs (GIRF and beyond), and always-on cultural brand-building. This is a role for someone who thinks in stories, moves fast, and genuinely loves food culture.
What You’ll Own:
1. Topical Day Campaigns
-
Own India’s dining conversation on every relevant cultural moment — food days, festive occasions, pop-culture hooks, and trending cultural narratives.
-
Build and maintain a 12-month topical calendar with sharp, ownable angles for Dineout.
-
Develop campaign briefs, oversee creative execution, and manage publishing across social, CRM, and in-app channels.
-
Partner with social and content teams to ensure campaigns are scroll-stopping and platform-native.
-
Track real-time trends and move fast - identify moments and execute within tight turnarounds.
2. Dineout Sale Events (GIRF & Sale IPs)
-
Build highly compelling, cut-through sale events - from GIRF (Great Indian Restaurant Festival) to other sale IPs.
-
Lead end-to-end campaign development: concept, narrative, creative direction, media brief, and go-to-market.
-
Coordinate with product, growth, restaurant partnerships teams and agencies to align sales mechanics with marketing messaging.
-
Drive consumer urgency and desirability through sharp copy, strong offers of storytelling, and culturally relevant hooks.
-
Measure campaign performance; own post-mortems and continuously sharpen future editions.
3. Dineout IP — Culture Building
-
Conceptualise and build owned IPs that cement Dineout as a cultural brand
-
Identify whitespace in the dining culture conversation and develop recurring formats (events, editorial, creator collabs, experiential) that Dineout can own.
-
Work with influencer, PR, and community teams to grow IP reach and relevance over time.
-
Build business cases for new IPs and track them against brand health and engagement metrics.
4. Product Marketing
-
Partner with the product team to craft go-to-market strategies for new features and product launches.
-
Translate product capabilities into consumer-facing benefits with clear, compelling messaging.
-
Drive feature adoption through targeted campaigns across owned, paid, and in-app channels.
-
Gather consumer insights and feedback to inform product marketing narratives.
5. Consumer Immersion & Insight-Led Campaigns
-
Proactively immerse yourself in the lives of Dineout’s consumers — go beyond data dashboards to understand how, why, and where people make dining decisions.
-
Conduct regular consumer interactions — restaurant visits, user interviews, community listening — to surface fresh tensions, desires, and dining behaviours that campaigns can be built around.
-
Synthesise qual and quant consumer research into sharp, actionable insights that form the foundation of campaign briefs — not just the appendix.
-
Champion a culture of consumer-first thinking within the team — push back on campaigns that are brand-led without a genuine human truth at their core.
-
Work with research and analytics partners to track shifts in consumer dining sentiment, preference, and occasion behaviour across key markets.
What We’re Looking For:
-
3+ years of experience in brand marketing, campaign management, or content marketing — preferably in consumer internet, F&B, or lifestyle.
-
Demonstrable track record of owning and executing campaigns end-to-end, from brief to live.
-
Strong cultural antennae — you clock what’s trending, what’s cringe, and what’s going to resonate.
-
Excellent written communication; you can write a sharp brief, a punchy caption, and a concise business case.
-
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-ownership environment where ambiguity is the norm.
-
Experience collaborating with creative, social, influencer, and product teams.
-
A genuine love for food, dining culture, and building things that people care about.
-
Genuine curiosity about consumers — you seek out real people, real conversations, and real dining moments rather than relying solely on reports and dashboards.
-
Ability to distill a messy mix of consumer observations, qual research, and behavioural data into a single, compelling campaign insight that creative teams can run with.
Nice to Have:
-
Prior experience at a consumer tech startup or a top-tier FMCG / F&B brand.
-
Exposure to performance marketing metrics to connect brand work to business outcomes.
-
Experience ideating or managing branded IPs, events, or creator-led campaigns.
Why Dineout?
-
Work on a brand with a genuine cultural mandate in one of India’s fastest-growing consumer categories.
-
High ownership from day one — your work ships to millions.
-
Collaborative, creative team that values bold ideas and thoughtful execution.
-
Competitive compensation, Swiggy employee benefits, and free food (obviously).
