We’re hiring: Social Media Assistant Freelancer

IMAGE Media is looking for a passionate and highly organised Social Media Assistant Freelancer to work with us to support the daily management of our social media channels. If you’re the kind of person who loves a colour-coded spreadsheet and creating a killer carousel in Canva, this is the role for you.

This position is ideal for someone early in their career who is excited about the media world, has a strong eye for design, enjoys working with content and analytics, and thrives on variety and fast-paced days. You’ll work closely with the Social Media Manager, Digital Editor and wider IMAGE team to bring our brand to life across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, YouTube and X.

We are one of Ireland’s most established premium media houses, with a uniquely engaged community of women. Across our print platforms, digital channels and standout events (including the IMAGE Businesswoman of the Year Awards, Business of Beauty Awards, Business Club Live, and The Motherload) we are committed to telling real, relevant stories that matter.
