Community Executive

Role Overview

We're looking for a Community Manager with a programming lens - someone who can build and run the cultural calendar across Subko's Bangalore outlets and, contribute to programming at the Ajji House CO-OP. This is 70% a Subko role: community loyalty, creator relationships, and activations at our cafes. The remaining 30% is dedicated to CO-OP programming, ensuring the space stays culturally alive and consistently excellent.

Key Responsibilities:

Community & Loyalty Programming:

• Build and manage community programmes that give Subko regulars a reason to stay invested loyalty touch points, recurring rituals, and member moments that feel considered rather than templated.
• You'll track what lands, iterate, and keep the community calendar active across outlets.

Events & Activation:

• Plan and execute events at Subko cafes - community gatherings, brand collaborations, cultural programming.
• You'll own the calendar, manage logistics, and ensure every activation is coherent with Subko's identity.
• Expect to be on the floor as much as you're behind a screen.

Creator & Influencer Relationships:

• Own Subko's relationships with creators and cultural figures in Bangalore.
• Identify the right voices, build genuine connections, and translate those into programming and collaborations that make sense for the brand.
• This is relationship work first, briefing work second.

Programming:

• Participate in the CO-OP's programming calendar and take ownership of Subko's contribution to it.
• Coordinate Subko-led activations, ensuring F&B and hospitality touch points are aligned with programming schedules, and acting as the primary Subko point of contact for anything happening in the space.

Required Skills & Experience:

Essential:

• 24 years in community management, cultural programming, or events
• Proven ability to build and run programming calendars across multiple contexts
• Strong relationship-builder - with creators, artists, brands, and communities
• Comfortable holding multiple work streams simultaneously without losing coherence
• Self-starter who can manage ambiguity and build systems from scratch

Preferred:

• Background in arts, culture, or hospitality
• Existing network within Bangalore's creative community
• Familiarity with Northeast Indian craft traditions or regional creative practices
• Experience working across two organisations or teams simultaneously
• Event production or brand activation experience
