About Us

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.

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.
