About Loka
At Loka we’re building an innovation and design‑led product brand rooted in South Asian culture and engineered for the modern global kitchen. We’re starting with chai, drunk by billions around the world yet ripe for disruption.
We’re an ambitious early‑stage company growing quickly - reimagining ritual with cultural depth, thoughtful storytelling and commercial intelligence.
We care deeply about craft, culture and content - yet we move with data, performance and speed. We’re building a team and culture that can operate in both worlds.
Our global, multicultural team is united by a shared passion for innovation, design, culture — and of course chai.
Role Overview
Manage and grow Loka’s digital presence across social, community and website touchpoints. You’ll ensure the brand feels active, culturally aligned and cuts through everywhere people engage with us - from Instagram to our DTC site to our newsletter.
The core focus is to manage and grow our organic social presence - driving both strong growth and high engagement. It’s not just a broadcast channel, it’s a place to build community and drive revenue growth.
You’ll work closely with our Marketing Manager, Creative Director, marketing agency and founders to execute consistently, surface insights and help scale organic momentum.
This is a unique opportunity to join a company that is rooted in purpose, growing fast and sustainably, and a team that cares deeply about product, brand, culture and community.
Mission
Grow Loka’s social presence into a vibrant global community celebrating chai, culture and creativity — grounded in the belief that culture connects us.
Remote role (preferred UK / EU time zones).
