Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience in social-first creative, ideally spanning both influencer/creator-led and organic content, with multi-market or international experience — and a body of work that demonstrates it
- Recognized work in market: campaigns, creator collaborations, or productions that have run, been seen, and driven results you can speak to in detail
- A proven track record running large-scale social productions involving talent and creators — not just directing small shoots
- Experience leading or guiding a large, distributed creative team, with the ability to build process and standards that empower others rather than centralizing all creative decisions
- Fluent in internet culture, platforms, and formats across EMEA — you understand what works in different markets and why, and your own work reflects it
- Comfortable directing talent and creators across time zones and cultures, with the leadership presence to guide a team at scale
- Opinionated, collaborative, and allergic to boring content — with the cultural sensitivity to adapt ideas for local relevance
What the job involves
- Social-first creative at SharkNinja is built to be felt, shared, and acted on rather than passively watched. Across EMEA, our opportunity is enormous — and the creative bar needs to match
- The Creative Strategy Director is the creative owner for SharkNinja brands on social across EMEA markets — starting with the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and expanding beyond
- This role is embedded within the Global Social Creative team, working hand in hand with global creative leads to ensure every market’s social presence is original, culturally relevant, and best-in-class
- This is a hands-on creative role for someone who can ideate, write, direct, and make — while partnering closely with the Global Social Creative team, Social Strategy, Social Studios, internal creators, and external collaborators to bring ideas to life across multiple EMEA markets at scale
- Own Social-First Creative for SharkNinja Brands Across EMEA:
- Serve as the creative lead and tastemaker for SharkNinja brands (Shark and Ninja) on social across EMEA — with primary focus on the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain — in tight collaboration with the Global Social Creative team and VP, Social Creative
- Develop social-first ideas that balance entertainment, product storytelling, and cultural relevance for both new and existing products across organic, paid, and influencer/creator content
- Ensure creative work is designed to travel across markets and platforms — through sharing, remixing, and conversation — while respecting local cultural nuance
- Create, Direct, and Ship:
- Write, edit, and shape content across short-form video, stills, and emerging formats — adapting for local audiences and platforms across EMEA markets
- Direct shoots virtually and in-person with internal creators, studios, and partners across EMEA — from lo-fi to higher-production moments
- Collaborate closely with internal creators, Social Studios, and local market teams to translate ideas into scalable, market-relevant content outputs
- Partner Across Teams and Markets:
- Work hand-in-hand with the Global Social Creative team, Brand, Social Strategy, Influencer, and Media partners to ensure EMEA social creative is aligned with global brand vision while being locally excellent
- Help shape creator and influencer creative across EMEA markets by providing strong concepts, direction, and feedback
- Act as the creative connective tissue between global strategy, local market needs, and execution
- Raise the Creative Bar:
- Push for work that is culturally fluent, platform-native, and unmistakably social-first across each EMEA market
- Identify what’s working, what’s stale, and where each market’s brand presence should experiment next
- Contribute to evolving creative playbooks and best practices across the social org, ensuring EMEA learnings feed back into global creative strategy
- What Success Looks Like:
- Social content across EMEA markets that earns engagement because it’s worth engaging with
- Clear creative POV for SharkNinja brands on social in each key EMEA market, with content that feels native to each audience
- Work that people share, reference, and talk about — not just scroll past — across the UK, France, Germany, and beyond
- Strong partnership with the Global Social Creative team, local studios, and creators that results in consistent, high-quality output across markets
