Is this role for you?

Paramount+ is looking for a Director of Social, EMEA. You’ll lead a team in creating standalone content, partner with colleagues to build social into the heart of marketing campaigns and stay curious about understanding results.

Part of the Paramount+ EMEA Marketing team, you’ll report to the VP Media and Social.

You’ll lead a high performing team partnering with Media, Marketing, Creative and PR teams to turn our biggest campaigns into cultural moments, not just activity that runs, but activity that gets talked about. You’ll lead the total social plan, using data led creativity to generate buzz that drives commercial results.

The EMEA marketing team sets the strategic direction for campaign delivery across the region, partnering with local, in-market teams to align on planning priorities and championing creative that is distinctly, authentically local in every market we operate in.

The London-based social team is responsible for the growth and output of our UK & Ireland channels, whilst also collaborating with teams across EMEA (currently focussed on Germany, Italy and France).

You’ll build and own relationships with Global Content and Social teams, local Marketing and Press, agencies and platforms.

What are we looking for?

- Extensive experience in organic and paid social media at a leadership level.
