About the role
Lemon7 is an AI-native performance marketing and content production agency based in Cork. This is not a client-facing role. You will own and grow Lemon7's own media ecosystem: the channels that build our brand, our audience, and our pipeline.
That means running 3 to 5 accounts under one internal content system:
Lemon7
The agency brand: build-in-public, behind-the-scenes, agency life, AI-in-marketing content.
Craving Cork
Our Cork food and hospitality media brand with an established audience of 75k+.
Founder channels
Supporting the personal brands of our founders and senior team. Our founder's channels alone have 150k+ followers, with 180k+ across all channels, so you will be working on high-profile, established accounts from day one.
You will be the engine behind all of it: ideating, filming, editing, publishing, and reporting. You will work directly with the founders day to day, with specialist support on tap (including in-house video editors for bigger productions), but the day-to-day content machine is yours.
This is a rare setup: agency resources, media-brand audiences, and full creative ownership without client sign-off cycles.
The short version
- Full-time permanent, studio-based in Cork
- In-house channels only, no client sign-off cycles
- Base salary plus commission on social-sourced clients
- Applications close 31 August 2026
- Apply with a 2 to 3 minute video, nothing else
What you will actually do
- Plan and run a rolling content calendar across all channels
- Ideate, shoot, and edit short-form video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) as your primary format
- Be comfortable on camera: presenting, interviewing, appearing in skits and trends where it fits the brand
- Direct and capture content with the founders and team: prep them, brief them, and turn 20 minutes of their time into a week of content
- Edit proficiently in a tool of your choice (CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, whatever you are fastest in)
- Write hooks, captions, and copy that sound human and drive action
- Manage community: replies, DMs, engagement
- Brief in-house specialists when content needs a heavier production touch
- Track what is working (views, follows, saves, shares, leads) and adjust the plan
- Stay on top of trends and move fast when there is a moment worth jumping on
Who we are looking for
- Some hands-on social media experience: a brand, an agency, or a personal account you have genuinely grown. Proof of output, not job titles
- Genuinely outgoing. You will be on camera regularly, so personality is a core skill for this role, not a nice-to-have
- A natural content creator: you see ideas everywhere, shoot on a phone, and turn footage around same-day
- Proficient in at least one professional or semi-professional editing tool
- Organised and self-managing, able to juggle multiple brands and founder diaries
- Comfortable working closely with founders while bringing your own point of view
- A feel for Cork and Irish culture is a big plus, especially for Craving Cork
No degree required. We care about how good you are, not where you studied.
What we offer
- Competitive base salary plus commission: a percentage of the first three months' retainer on every new client closed where the originating source was our social channels. We already close clients from social today, and every one of those leads is attributed to this role
- A 5,000 sq ft studio to create in, with professional kit and in-house production specialists
- Real audiences from day one, with 250k+ combined followers across the accounts you will manage
- Direct access to founders at one of Ireland's most AI-forward agencies
- Clear room to grow as our internal media function scales
