Lynda Keogh

Imagine being able to tell your granny you’re the eyes and mouth of Ryanair?!

It has to be said outright that Ryanair’s Social Team have been naiiiiling TikTok since day one. If you haven’t been keeping up with Ryanair on TikTok, firstly – are you actually okay? Secondly, don’t wait another minute, you need to get involved. Check out some more of their stuff here!

Do you know the Savage Love dance like the back of your hand? Have smashed the tortilla wrap hack? You’ve heard and love the D’Amelio’s? Then this could be the job for you! I know many a social media manager jealous of the ‘banter freedom’ the TikTok team have, and now you can get involved!!

The job requirements are quite specific, and probably not seen on a traditional job spec. Safe to say this is not just a standard office job! Job requirements include knowing what “sounds” are popular on TikTok and how to film, edit and use TikTok and it’s features. Seems like half of Ireland would be qualified to apply! If you’re thinking about applying, you’ll also have to submit your own TikTok profile – so definitely make sure it’s on point!

It goes without saying that, of course, there is more to the job than just learning dances and being a TikTok superstar. You can check out the full job listing below –
