Paid Internship jobs in Dublin, County Dublin

Learn ecommerce growth in the only quarter that really tests it

Most marketing internships hand you a content calendar in a quiet month and hope for the best.

This one starts in September and runs through Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the Christmas peak the ten weeks that make or break the year for a DTC brand. You'll see budgets scale, creative get tested to destruction, and email lists get worked harder than at any other point in the calendar.

Leading Social is a Dublin performance marketing agency working with Shopify DTC brands across beauty, wellness and consumer. We run paid social, search and retention for brands in Ireland & USA. You'd be joining the team that owns organic social, email and audience growth for our clients and for our own brand.

What you'll actually do

• Plan, write and schedule organic social content across Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn
• Build and send email and SMS campaigns in Klaviyo including the BFCM sequences that do the heavy lifting in November
• Grow our newsletter and community audience: list growth, sign-up flows, referral loops
• Pull performance data and turn it into something a human can read what worked, what didn't, what we do next
• Sit in on client calls, campaign planning and post-BFCM reviews
• Get your hands dirty with the AI tooling we use daily for research, creative production and reporting
• If you're up for it: appear in the content yourself talking-head videos, product pieces, behind-the-scenes at the agency

You'll be given real work with real outcomes attached. You'll also be given someone senior to check it before it goes live.

Who this suits

• You're finishing or recently finished a degree in marketing, business, communications, journalism or you're self-taught and can show the work
• You're online enough to know what's working on TikTok this week and why
• Any hands-on experience a personal account you've grown, a society page, a side project, a Shopify store

Major bonus: you're a content creator yourself, or you're open to becoming one. Comfortable on camera, happy to front a video, able to make something watchable on your phone in twenty minutes. This is the single biggest thing that will move your application up the pile.

You do not need agency experience, a following, or a ring light. We'll teach you the tools.

What you get out of it

• Real ownership of channels, not shadowing
• A Q4 under your belt a genuine differentiator on a junior CV
• Hands-on Klaviyo, Meta and Shopify experience, plus the AI workflows most agencies are still talking about rather than using
• Direct mentoring from our paid social, search and retention leads
• A reference and a portfolio of work that's actually yours
• A strong performer here is the first person we call when a permanent role opens

November is our peak. Expect it to be intense, expect to be busy, and expect to learn more in that month than in the rest of the year combined.

How to apply

No CV. No cover letter. No application form.

Email hello@leadingsocial.news with two things:

• Why you deserve this. A few lines. Say it in your own voice.
• A piece of content you made. A Canva post, a UGC-style talking about a product you like, a hook, a carousel, an edit anything. It doesn't need to be polished and it doesn't need to be about us. It needs to make someone want to click, watch, or buy.

That's the whole application. The content is what we'll actually look at, so put the time there.

Pay: €14.15-€15.00 per hour
