Social Creative Strategy Director, EMEA 

Location: London or Paris 

 

About Us  

SharkNinja is a global product design and technology company, with a diversified portfolio of 5-star rated lifestyle solutions that positively impact people’s lives in homes around the world. Powered by two trusted, global brands, Shark and Ninja, the company has a proven track record of bringing disruptive innovation to market, and developing one consumer product after another has allowed SharkNinja to enter multiple product categories, driving significant growth and market share gains. Headquartered in Needham, Massachusetts with more than 3,600+ associates, the company’s products are sold at key retailers, online and offline, and through distributors around the world.   

As our brands scale globally — and particularly across EMEA — social isn’t a support channel, it’s where discovery, conversation, and demand are created. We’re building a social creative engine designed to move at the speed of culture across every market we operate in, and we’re looking for creative leaders who can help shape it. 

 

Why This Role Matters 

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.

Who You Are

• A true hybrid: you can think conceptually and execute hands-on across diverse markets and audiences 

• Fluent in internet culture, platforms, and formats across EMEA — you understand what works in different markets and why
