Job Title: Creative Content & Outreach Specialist
Department: BBA(DBE) Outreach, IIM Bangalore

About the opportunity
The media and outreach engine for the BBA(DBE) program at IIM Bangalore is scaling. We are bringing on a multidimensional creative professional who can anchor our visual identity and drive our digital narrative.
This is not a traditional, siloed desk job. We operate an agile, high-impact media cell. We need a creative who possesses top-tier technical proficiency in design and video editing, but who also has the strategic instincts to step back from the timeline and actively drive broader outreach initiatives when production demands shift.
Core Responsibilities:
- Visual Architecture & Design: Engineer high-end graphic assets across all digital touchpoints, from daily social media communications and website interfaces to premium print collateral. Maintain absolute brand consistency with the institutional prestige of IIM Bangalore.
- Editorial & Motion Graphics: Own the post-production workflow (assembly, color-grading, pacing). Translate raw footage into compelling stories, including fast-paced teasers, student interviews, and long-form documentary-style content.
- On-Ground Media & Event Integration: Collaborate directly with the core team during high-energy campus festivals and regional student networking sessions to capture real-time momentum.
- Strategic Agility: Pivot during off-peak design weeks to conceptualize partnership pitches, drive student outreach campaigns, and optimize overall marketing strategy.
- Campaign Strategy & Digital Performance Optimization: Analyze social media metrics, engagement rates, and content reach to evaluate campaign performance and iterate strategies for maximum ROI.
- Execute multi-channel promotional campaigns across organic and paid platforms (LinkedIn, Instagram, Google Ads) to amplify program visibility and drive target student acquisitions.
- Maintain and manage an active, data-informed content calendar aligned with key institutional milestones, admission cycles, and outreach events.
- Brand Storytelling & Asset Governance: Author compelling short-form copy, program highlights, student spotlight stories, and promotional scriptwriting that embody the prestige and tone of IIM Bangalore.
- Establish and enforce strict brand design guidelines, ensuring typography, color palettes, templates, and multimedia assets remain consistent across all external channels.
- Audit and optimize digital touchpoints (landing pages, website UI assets, email newsletters) for clear user navigation and high conversion rates.
- Cross-Functional Operations & Stakeholder Engagement: Interface directly with core program leads, faculty, and student representatives to extract key insights, conduct interviews, and translate complex academic initiatives into digestible public narratives.
- Oversee third-party creative vendors, agency partners, or freelance contributors during large-scale productions to safeguard delivery timelines and output standards.
- Gather post-event insights from regional student networking sessions and campus events to create comprehensive debriefs and retrospective media kits.
Candidate Profile & Eligibility:
- Independent self-starter who identifies communication gaps and builds visual solutions without waiting for a brief.
- Proficient in Adobe Illustrator/Figma as well as Premiere Pro/DaVinci Resolve.
- Adaptable to shifting priorities between visual design and strategic campaign management.
- Open to: External industry professionals, independent freelancers, and current students with an exceptional portfolio.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Access to campus facilities and high-energy institutional events.
