Social Media Executive

Social Media Executive

Glanbia  

Join this dynamic team focused on delivering better nutrition for every step of life’s journey 

The Opportunity 

We’re looking for a creative powerhouse to take the reins of our social media and bring the world’s #1 sports nutrition brand to life online. This isn’t just about scheduling posts - this is your chance to shape culture, build hype, and spark real connection with a global community of athletes, gym-goers, and everyday performance seekers.

As our Social Media Executive, you'll be front and centre of our digital presence, creating thumb-stopping content, championing user-generated gold, and keeping our brand bold, human, and always one step ahead. You’ll need to be obsessed with trends, fluent in TikTok, Instagram and beyond, and ready to roll up your sleeves to concept, shoot, edit, and post content that gets people talking (and tagging).

This role is for someone who lives and breathes social. Someone who can turn a half-baked idea into a viral moment. Someone who understands what makes people double tap, share, comment, and come back for more.

If you're fired up by the idea of owning the social channels for a brand trusted by millions - and you're hungry to push boundaries in a fast-paced, high-energy team - then this is your moment.
