We’re Hiring! Her.ie is Looking for a Talented and Creative Writer to Join Our Growing Team

Is it time you applied for your dream job?  If you've got a flair for writing, live and breathe social media, have a great handle on news and know your way about a camera and a microphone, we have just the job for you. Her.ie is looking for a pretty fabulous content creator to join our team. With a social media audience of well over 400,000 people, and 2 million unique visitors to the site every month, we’re thrilled with the reaction we’ve had from Irish women as we celebrate our third birthday this month, but we always want to be bigger and better, and that's where you just might come in. We currently have an opening for a staff writer. This position is office-based, at our Dublin HQ.

Don't worry though - you'll be rostered alongside a wonderful team of co-workers. So awesome, in fact, you may not want to go home. (We’ve got beanbags. And lots of tea).
