About Ella & Jo
Are you ready to bring your creativity, strategy, and storytelling flair to Ireland's fastest-growing, award-winning skincare brand?
At Ella & Jo, we believe skincare isn't just about how your skin looks, it's about how it makes you feel. Co-founded by skincare experts Charlene Flanagan and Niamh Ryan, Ella & Jo was created to empower women to carve out moments of self-care and joy in their everyday.
Winners of Irish Skincare Brand of the Year and Best New Brand in the UK, we're on the lookout for a creative, ambitious, and trend-savvy Social Media Manager to join our growing team and help tell our story in fresh, exciting ways.
The Role
This isn't just a scheduling job. This role is about bringing the heart of Ella & Jo to life across every platform and on an international scale.
