Leading Social is looking for a creative, ambitious and highly social-first Content Creator & Social Media Manager to join our team in Dublin.
This is not a traditional social media management role.
We’re looking for someone who genuinely understands content, brands, trends and internet culture. Someone who has a strong eye for what looks good, knows what makes people stop scrolling and is constantly thinking about new ideas, formats and opportunities.
A major part of the role will involve working closely with our founder to create content around social media, ecommerce, advertising, brands, business and agency life.
You’ll be responsible for helping turn ideas, conversations, podcasts and everyday moments into content that people actually want to watch.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Work directly with our founder to plan, film and produce regular content
- Film short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn
- Help develop content ideas, hooks, concepts and recurring series
- Record and produce podcasts and longer-form conversations
- Film founder interviews, talking-head content and conversational formats
- Capture behind-the-scenes content from the office, meetings, events and shoots
- Be comfortable appearing and speaking on camera yourself where relevant
- Keep on top of social media trends, viral formats and emerging creators
- Identify interesting brands, campaigns and cultural moments we should be talking about
- Turn industry news and trends into timely social content
- Edit short-form video content to a high standard
- Repurpose podcasts and long-form content into multiple social clips
- Write captions and prepare content for publishing
- Manage the day-to-day publishing of content across our social channels
- Track performance and use insights to improve future content
- Help shape the overall aesthetic and creative direction of our social presence
- Attend events, shoots and other filming opportunities when required
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is naturally creative, confident and very online.
You should be the type of person who notices a new TikTok format before everyone else, saves great brand campaigns for inspiration and has strong opinions on why certain content works.
You should:
- Be confident filming and directing content
- Be comfortable speaking and appearing on camera
- Have a strong eye for aesthetics and visual storytelling
- Understand TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn
- Understand hooks, pacing, retention and short-form storytelling
- Have experience editing video using CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut or similar
- Have a genuine interest in social media, brands, marketing, ecommerce and culture
- Be able to spot trends and turn them into relevant content quickly
- Be proactive and regularly bring new ideas to the table
- Be organised and capable of managing a consistent content schedule
- Be comfortable working closely with a founder
- Have strong attention to detail
- Be based in Dublin and available to film content in person regularly
Previous agency or marketing experience is useful, but it isn’t essential.
We care much more about your creativity, personality, taste, understanding of social media and ability to make great content.
What Success Looks Like
The goal of this role is to build a consistent content engine around Leading Social.
We want to create content that is useful, entertaining, relevant and genuinely interesting, while building a recognisable personal and company brand across social media.
You should be someone who can walk into the office with ideas, pick up a camera and make things happen.
How to Apply
Send your CV, cover letter and a short intro video to [email protected].
In your intro video, tell us a little about yourself, why this role interests you and why you think you would be a great fit.
Don’t overthink the video. We want to see your personality, creativity and how comfortable you are communicating on camera.
Pay: From €30,000.00 per year
