IIT Madras Recruitment 2026: Marketing & Communication Officer (01 Vacancy)

This role is ideal for highly motivated postgraduate professionals (MBA/M.A. in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or English) with 2-5 years of proven experience in digital marketing, content creation, and social media management. The candidate should be proactive, creative, and adept at managing communication strategies for an academic and entrepreneurial environment. Those seeking a temporary, project-based assignment within a prestigious institution will find this opportunity suitable.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment or those with less than two years of relevant professional experience should not apply. The position is purely on a contract basis, initially for six months with potential extension, which may not align with candidates seeking long-term job security or a defined career ladder within the institution. The single vacancy also suggests high competition.

Working with IIT Madras, an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's professional profile. While the role is temporary and contractual within the Office of IC&SR and the School of Innovation & Entrepreneurship, it provides excellent exposure to a dynamic academic and research environment. This position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a leading institution's digital presence and innovation ecosystem, enhancing future career prospects in marketing and communications within the education or research sectors.
