You will own the content planning process across key platforms while identifying opportunities for timely and culturally relevant conversations.

• Build and evolve community management frameworks that encourage meaningful engagement across TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, and relevant online communities.

• Own the end-to‑end social content calendar, balancing evergreen campaigns, cultural moments, planned initiatives, and reactive opportunities.

• Translate strategic priorities into clear, actionable creative briefs that enable content creators, producers, and external agencies to deliver high‑impact work.

• Guide and collaborate with social content producers, creators, and agency partners to ensure content remains platform‑native, relevant, and aligned with the broader strategy.

• Monitor social conversations, audience sentiment, trends, and performance metrics to identify opportunities and continuously optimize the social strategy.

• Use analytics and social listening insights to evaluate performance, demonstrate ROI, and inform future campaigns and content decisions.

• Lead social media crisis management strategies, coordinating with PR, Customer Support, and other internal stakeholders to protect brand reputation.

• Stay ahead of emerging social behaviours, formats, platforms, creator trends, and technologies that could strengthen audience growth and engagement.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in social media strategy, community growth, strategic content planning, or a closely related role.

• Strong expertise in the dynamics, formats, audiences, and best practices of TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube, and other relevant social platforms.

• Demonstrated ability to transform consumer insights and cultural trends into compelling, multi‑format, platform‑native social campaigns.

• Proven experience developing and implementing social strategies that support measurable brand and business objectives.

• Experience managing or directing content creators, social producers, creative teams, and/or external agencies.

• Strong strategic thinking combined with excellent creative judgment and the ability to turn ideas into clear, actionable plans.

• Data‑driven mindset with hands‑on experience using social listening, sentiment analysis, and performance analytics tools.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across creative, marketing, PR, and customer‑facing teams.

• Strong understanding of online communities, emerging social trends, and evolving consumer behaviours.

• A background in trend forecasting, social listening, creator‑led brands, or the travel sector is a plus.

• Familiarity with emerging AI tools that can improve social media workflows, content development, research, or performance analysis is an advantage.

• Professional proficiency in English is required; Spanish language skills are a plus.

Benefits:

• Fully remote working arrangement.

• Full‑time employment opportunity within a global, international team.

• Opportunity to work on a high‑growth brand with a worldwide audience.

• Significant ownership and influence over global social media strategy and community growth.

• Collaboration with creative professionals, content creators, agencies, PR, and customer‑focused teams across different markets.

• Exposure to a fast‑moving environment where cultural trends, emerging platforms, and new technologies can directly influence strategy.

• Competitive compensation, with salary expectations discussed as part of the application process.

• For candidates based outside Ireland or Portugal, the engagement may be structured as a B2B/self‑employed contract, subject to the applicable arrangement.
