Company: Assembly Industries
Job Brief – Brand, Social Media & Operations Associate
Type: Full-time, remote
Location: Pakistan (Lahore or Karachi preferred)
Hours: US hours (EST or PST)
Why work for us
Assembly Industries believes in creating a new generation of a passionate workforce in Pakistan by providing high-value opportunities that are life-changing. We strongly believe in a work-life balance and family-oriented approach to how we value the time & effort of our employees. The core of our ethos is around passion, trust & transparency. We offer the opportunity to collaborate with US-based clients in their growth phase. Working with us means direct engagement with top-tier CEOs, founders, and established businesses in the thriving US business ecosystem.
Client & Position Overview
Our client is a US-based mountaineer and polar explorer building a founder-led expedition company. His own expeditions include Denali and the South Pole, and he guided about 40 people up Kilimanjaro this year. Clients come mainly from India and the Indian diaspora in the US and Europe. He is often on a mountain with no email access, and the business must keep running when he is away. This role is his right hand on brand, social media, website and client operations. The founder sets the brand ethos and content strategy. You turn that strategy into consistent, high-quality execution and help shape it with ideas and feedback. This is not a generic social media role. We need a genuine storyteller with a real passion for mountains and the outdoors.
