Account Manager | Brand Studio
About the Org -
Arkedia is a brand-story studio. We run marketing for restaurants, hospitality groups and growing consumer brands — the story first, then the content, the shoots and the campaigns that carry it. Design, copywriting and strategy sit in-house with the studio team. Bengaluru is where the studio is growing fastest, and the next two to three years are about building out the Bengaluru operation around that client base.
Brand-story studio - monthly retainers plus project engagements across brand, content, shoots and campaigns.
About the role -
Bengaluru accounts and operations - works alongside the studio team on design, copywriting and strategy
Seven to eight Bengaluru brands currently have no single owner on the ground. This role puts one person across all of them end to end - present at the shoots, close to the owners, across every detail - so delivery is coordinated on site rather than remotely, and the gap between what was promised and what shipped is caught before the client finds it. It is the first senior role we are building in Bengaluru; done well for a year, it becomes running the Bengaluru operation with a team under it.
What you will own -
- Day-to-day delivery for seven to eight Bengaluru accounts - mostly restaurants and hospitality groups.
- The monthly content calendar for each brand: what gets shot, when, by whom, and what it is for.
- Shoots on the ground - photographers, videographers, outlet managers, kitchen timings, table holds.
- The client relationship for everything routine. You are who they call first. The gap between what was promised and what shipped - found and flagged by you, before the client finds it.
- Monthly delivery reports going out on time, with the numbers already checked
What the week looks like -
Mornings are calendars, approvals and coordination. Two or three evenings a week you are inside an outlet running a shoot or sitting with an owner. Weekends are usually clear; the exception is a launch, and those are known well in advance. This is a job that happens where the food is served, not only where the laptop is open.
What we’re looking for -
- Two to four years in an agency, hospitality marketing, or client-facing operations.
- Comfortable with restaurant people - owners, chefs, floor managers - and unbothered by a busy service.
- Organised enough to run eight accounts without anyone checking in on you.
- Writes clearly. Most of this job is a short, precise message sent to the right person at the right time.
- Bengaluru-based and mobile across the city. Own two-wheeler or car preferred.
- Raises things early. A shoot that needs moving is a five-minute conversation on Monday, and we would always rather have it then
Brownie Points for -
Has run restaurant or hospitality accounts before. Has coordinated shoots end to end - photographers, videographers, outlet managers, kitchen timings, table holds. Own two-wheeler or car. A track record of being the person everybody quietly relies on to keep things moving.
30-60-90 Day Plan -
First 30 days: meet every Bengaluru client and outlet team, learn the studio's content and approval process, and take over the monthly calendar for two or three brands.
By 60 days: running roughly half the Bengaluru book independently — calendars planned, shoots scheduled and run on the ground, monthly reports going out on time with numbers checked.
By 90 days: all seven to eight accounts owned without anyone checking in, delivery tracked against what was committed. A three-month settling-in period ends here with a proper written review.
How the work is split -
Design, copywriting and strategy sit with the studio, so you are free to concentrate on the part that decides whether a month lands: execution and coordination. This is the person who makes the work happen on the day it was meant to happen. If you are the one everybody quietly relies on to keep things moving, this is built for you.
- You report to the founder directly, and work alongside the studio team on creative output.
- A three-month settling-in period, with a proper written review at the end of it.
Where this goes -
Bengaluru is the studio's growth market and this is the first senior role we are building here. You come in owning eight brands, working directly with the founder and close to every decision. Do it well for a year and it becomes running the Bengaluru operation, with a team under you. That is the plan, not a possibility we are dangling.
Ready when you are. One form, one shot.
We review every application. If it's a fit, you'll hear from a human within days.
